What’s the difference between the EcoPro and EcoTec Shed Insulation Kits?
Our EcoPro Shed Insulation Kit uses EcoQuilt as the insulation. EcoTec uses AirTec Double for the insulation. EcoQuilt does have a better thermal value than AirTec double however it does come at a higher price point.
What would you recommend using the EcoTec Shed Insulation Kit for?
If you’re simply using the space as a summerhouse, storage, shed, or storage building we’d recommend using the EcoTec Shed insulation kit as you don’t need the insulation to keep the space warm at all times it’ll help protect the contents from the elements.
Do I need to tape and seal the insulation?
Yes, we recommend taping and sealing over all joints and overlaps on the roof and walls. This will help the products to act as a high-performing vapor control layer. However, if you’re insulating the floor, you still need to tape and seal the perimeter but leave the overlaps un-taped, this will ensure any moisture will escape below.
Why do I need to overlap the insulation?
The insulation should be overlapped by 50mm because this will stop draughts from entering the space and warm air from escaping.
Do I need to leave an air gap?
Yes, the minimum air gap we recommend is 25mm on either side of the insulation however if a larger air gap is present this will only benefit the insulation. The air gap will help reflect any heat inside and any cool air outside.
