Which parts of my home are most vital to insulate?

In terms of energy loss, the majority of heat escapes from the Loft, followed by the Walls then the Floor as heat rises. However, you know your home your home better than anyone if there is a particular section of your home that you notice draughts etc. this is a clear indication that more insulation is required / that you would significantly benefit from insulating that area. We have created a really useful How to Insulate your Home Guide – which details which product we would recommend for your application. This Guide will assist you in selecting the product for the application – but of course, you can Contact Us if you wish to discuss your application or require any assistance.

What’s the thickness of our products?

SuperQuilt: 40mm, compresses to approx 10mm.

EcoQuilt Expert: 15mm, compresses to approx 5mm.

BreatherQuilt: 40mm, compresses to approx 7mm.

Airtec Double: 4mm, no compression.

FloorFoam:  4mm, no compression.

BreatherFoil FR: 4mm, no compression.

Is SuperQuilt Breathable?

SuperQuilt isn’t a breathable material, it instead works as a high performing vapour control layer, stopping any air and moisture from passing through the material. If you are after a Breathable Multifoil we would instead advise BreatherQuilt.

Can our products be installed directly under carpets or floorboards?

Our FloorFoam is a 4mm insulation material which is specifically designed to go underneath Carpets, Wood, Laminate and Vinyl. It significantly reduces draught and helps to reflect heat back into the room which would usually be lost.

SuperQuilt and EcoQuilt Expert would require air gaps, so therefore cannot be used directly between Carpet and Floorboards.

Can SuperQuilt be used Stand Alone to achieve Building Regulations?

SuperQuilt can achieve a majority of U-values without the requirement for additional insulation, especially in walls and floors. To find out if SuperQuilt can work for your project please use our free to use and user friendly Online U-value Calculator.

How do Multifoil products work?

MultiFoils work by reflecting cold away during Winter months and reflecting the heat into your home. In the Summer Months MultiFoils help reflect excess heat away, keeping your home at a comfortable temperature all year round.

What is a U-Value?

A U-value is a measure of the heat transition through a building part (e.g. a Wall) the lower the number, the better the thermal properties. If you are going through building control you will more than likely need to achieve a specific U-value.

What is an R-Value?

Thermal resistance is a heat property and a measurement of a temperature difference by which an object or material resists a heat flow. Thermal resistance is the reciprocal of thermal conductance.

Can SuperQuilt be used on its own in a loft conversion?

Despite being the highest performing certified Multifoil on the market, SuperQuilt usually requires additional insulation if you are going through building control. See our Free to Use Online U-Value Calculator to find your best insulation method.

Do I need an air gap either side of multifoils?
