Firstly, foil insulation isn’t just a layer of tin foil with some stuffing thrown in for good measure. Multifoil insulation is a high-tech solution made from many layers of reflective aluminium foil, thermo-foam and polypropylene (wadding to you and me). Although multifoil insulation is made from layers, the build-up of the multifoil remains slimline whilst still offering outstanding therm insulation performance. So, what exactly is reflective foil insulation, and what do you need to know about it? Foil Insulation – What is it? Makes your home more energy-efficient, which is a key to energy conservation and lower heating billsMeasure your room - As with any flooring fitting, you’ll need to measure your room accurately before you begin to ensure that you get enough materials to cover your entire floor. It’s important to ignore any protrusions in the room, such as a floor sink or fitted cabinets, as you can cut your underlay around these. We’ve got a handy guide on ‘ how to measure a room’ you can use for expert guidance. If your room includes recesses or chimney breasts, you still need to measure the complete surface area without these as the underlay will be cut around them. Sustainable – The SuperFOIL products are made from up to 40 % recycled materials and have a lifespan of 50 + years!
