Description

Ultra-Thin Foil-Tec Single Insulation

High-Performance Insulating Vapour Control Layer

Foil-Tec Single by YBS is an innovative 2-in-1 insulating vapour control layer (VCL), designed to improve thermal performance while helping to control condensation and enhance airtightness.

At just 1mm thick, this reflective insulation membrane is fully certified for use in roofs, walls, and floors, delivering exceptional thermal efficiency without sacrificing valuable internal space.

Key Benefits

  • Ultra-thin 1mm profile
  • Certified for roofs, walls, and floors
  • Helps reduce condensation and improve airtightness
  • Reflective surface enhances thermal performance
  • Independently tested and certified
  • UK manufactured
  • Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame rating

Exceptional Thermal Performance

For projects requiring compliance with Building Regulations, Foil-Tec Single offers a certified R-Value of 0.74 m²K/W when used in wall applications. This thermal performance is equivalent to approximately 32mm of mineral wool insulation, despite being only 1mm thick.

Installation Guidance

For optimum performance, we recommend using Thermaseal Foil Joining Tape to seal all joints and overlaps. Proper taping ensures the product functions effectively as a vapour control layer.

To maximise its reflective properties, Foil-Tec Single should be installed facing an air cavity, with a service cavity and plasterboard positioned on the internal side.

Versatile Applications

Foil-Tec Single can be used as a standalone insulation membrane in floor applications and is frequently combined with SuperQuilt Multifoil Insulation to further enhance thermal performance throughout the building envelope.

Independently Tested & Certified

Foil-Tec Single has been independently tested and certified through the BDA Kiwa Certificate of Agrément, giving you confidence in its performance and compliance. Manufactured in the UK to high-quality standards, it offers a reliable solution for both new-build and refurbishment projects.

How-To Guides
How to Install Foil-Tec Single/Double on Floors
1. Roll out Foil-Tec

Start by rolling out Foil-Tec over the joists. It is recommended to roll the insulation perpendicular to the joists. Avoid cutting the length just yet, as the recess will use up extra material.

2. Create a recess with Saddle Clips

Saddle Clips are important for keeping the insulation fixed in place, but additionally to create an even air cavity. Install Saddle Clips over the joists, which fits Foil-Tec snug around the timber. We recommend 4 Saddle Clips per m².

3. Alternate method - using Staples

An alternate method if you wish to avoid Saddle Clips is to staple. Staple Foil-Tec down the joists to create an air cavity.
Tip - The further down the joists, the greater the thermal benefits! This is because an increased cavity will give an improved R-value.

4. Overlapping Foil-Tec

Overlap Foil-Tec by a minimum of 50mm, but not exceeding 100mm. This prevents any draughts. Ensure any overlaps are left un-taped, allowing any potential moisture build-up to escape properly.

5. Ensure Foil-Tec is lipped up the walls

Around the perimeter, it is important to lip Foil-Tec up the wall by at least 50mm. This will generally be hidden by chipboard and skirting board, preventing draughts. Follow with Thermaseal Foil Tape around the perimeter.

6. Finish by installing Chipboard

Once all the insulation is fixed down and recessed, you are now ready to install your finished floorboards.
