Learn moreAs the ultimate all-purpose building membrane for floors, walls and roofs, this SuperFOIL SFTV insulation is both water and vapour-proof, making it an ideal choice for any project. Its foil radiant barrier feature is designed to decrease solar gain during the summer months and enhance insulation during the winter.
What’s more, this SFTV insulation’s reflective properties add to the overall uValue of the building fabric, making it an excellent option if you’re looking to achieve maximum energy performance in retrofit and new build projects. It is the perfect solution for creating an airtight layer for the entire building envelope.
This SFTV insulation should be installed on the “warm” side of the insulated structure, with careful attention paid to sealing all seams and holes effectively. By doing so, the whole structure becomes moisture vapour-proof, resulting in improved thermal performance. To prevent vapour from entering the wall or roof, it is essential to fit this SFTV as a continuous barrier.
When fixing and jointing, all laps should be a minimum of 150mm and sealed using SF Jointing Tape. When sealed around penetrations, extra care should be taken. Where the barrier is breached by construction elements, you should use sided SuperFOIL tape to seal the aperture.
Question:
Could this be used on the underside of a flat roof garage to prevent the garage overheating in the hot weather? Radiating the heat from the felt roof away from the garage interior Currently no insulation in garage roof, just ply and rafters below.
Answer:
Yes, the SuperFOIL SFTV 1L High Tech Foil Insulation can be used on the underside of a flat roof garage. This product is designed to reduce solar gain in the summer and improve insulation in the winter. Its reflective properties help to radiate heat away, preventing overheating. Installation should be on the 'warm' side of the insulated structure with special care taken to ensure all seams and holes are sealed effectively. This will make the structure moisture vapour proof and improve thermal performance. Please note that it is important to install the SFTV as a continuous barrier to prevent vapour from entering the wall or the roof.
Question:
whats the best foil to fix to my rafters
Answer:
The SuperFOIL SFTV 1L High Tech Foil Insulation is a great choice for fixing to rafters. It is a versatile building membrane suitable for use in roofs, walls, and floors. When installed on the "warm" side of the insulated structure, it acts as an effective moisture vapour barrier and aids in improving the thermal performance. Please ensure the installation is done as a continuous barrier to prevent vapour entering the roof.
