As an effective solution for your pitched roof insulation needs, this YBS BreatherQuilt is a dual-purpose breathable membrane that is just 40mm thin and provides an affordable and sustainable method for both breathable and thermal insulation.
This YBS BreatherQuilt is Agrément Certified and accepted by NHBC, ensuring that it meets the building industry standards. What’s more, its built-in double-sided tape makes installation easy. Its flexibility allows for straightforward rolling out across the rafters, stapling in place and securing with the integrated tape. The overlapping method of installation also helps to minimise condensation risk and eliminates the potential for thermal bridging.
This breathable insulation roll features a waterproof outer membrane that withstands exposure for up to four weeks. Its unique construction makes it an ideal choice for reflecting heat back into your room and guarding against condensation and energy transfer. Due to containing zero fibres, this YBS BreatherQuilt does not require personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation.
Question:
Which side do you staple in? After you’ve stapled I’m guessing you use some roof rafters to make spar and then plasterboard? Do you insulate all the roof or only the area which is gonna be habitant?
Answer:
When installing the YBS BreatherQuilt Pitched Roofing Foil Insulation Roll, it's typically rolled out across the rafters and stapled into place. The built-in double-sided tape can then be used to secure and overlap rolls of insulation. This method reduces the risk of condensation and removes the risk of thermal bridging. As for your query about the use of roof rafters to make spar and then plasterboard, this may depend on the specific requirements of your project. We recommend consulting with a building professional or your project manager for guidance. The decision to insulate all the roof or only the habitable area is subjective and depends on various factors such as the climate, your energy efficiency goals, and building regulations. However, insulating the entire roof can significantly improve your home's overall thermal efficiency.
Question:
Can this be installed room side of the rafter if this is breathable? I have an old barn and was think of insulating between the rafters and then installing this before plasterboard or will I need a vapour barrier over the top again, I won't have a breathable membrane/vapour barrier on the cold side under the roof sheets as it's an existing roof.
Answer:
This is designed to be installed on the cold side of the roof, unfortunately your best if you don't have a pre installed membrane then you'd need to pull up the sheeting so this can be installed.
Question:
Is this product plastic and does it have any chemical treatment for fire on it please?
Answer:
It is a multifoil product (aluminium) and is not chemically treated for fire although has a fire classification rating of Euroclass E.
