How Multifoil Insulation Benefits You
The 3-in-1 highly reflective foil serves as a radiant barrier, preventing unnecessary heat gain or loss. The built-in VCL minimises the risks of moisture penetration, condensation, and mould. Additionally, the inbuilt insulated waddings slow down heat transfer and act as an effective insulator.
When installed in continuous layers, multifoil insulation protects your property from heat loss or gain, temperature fluctuation, and condensation, ensuring year-round protection and substantial energy bill savings.
The multi-functional and easy design also simplifies your insulation job, saving you space, time, and money on installation.

Trouble is the main stream house builders self regulate on building regs. The standard of house building today is appalling, as everything is done to cost and not standard.

Building regs are a minimum standard. Unfortunately builders see them as maximum standard.

As a lagger when using the foil tape, put it on a belt or rope at the front of you. Once you get the tape started never rip the backing off, and leave some extra when finished

8:34 Rapid heating works. The glues tend to not like high heat levels too much and the tape and paper holder expand at different rates, so you get a bit of friction separation too. Saw a guy who worked insulation who had a thermal knife set up strapped to a small tool cart and whenever he needed to start a new bit, he simply pushed the tip of the tape into the hot thermal cutter, the layers separated in seconds.

I insulated my attic this year with about 800 pounds of loosefill cellulose. It was a massively tiresome job for a single man crew. But it was so worth it. It reduced our summer indoor temps by a good 4 degrees F . Now we don't even need AC on most days. The fact that insulation costs only a small fraction of solar panels, is way more effective in reducing greenhouse emissions per unit cost, and is not half as popular as solar is simply baffling to me. But I guess, you can't brag about something as much if it is not a shiny and expensive new tech toy screwed on top of your house.

love that stuff did a big job with it warm roof with it on the outside linked into the cavity then 100mm rockwool inbetween the rafters and another layer on the skeiling down onto the dwarf wall , ps use a straight edge stand on it and stanley to cut it much easier than scissors

Fair play to you Roger, nice job there. How many loftys do you go to where there are huge draughts coming out through the light fittings, or under the skirting boards, as you say cutting PIR board into a hipped roof is a challenge. We purposely cut the boards say 1 cm small and then fill all around with squirty foam, it takes time and costs a bit more but the difference is like night and day. To do a really good insulation job does add a few quid and you need an understanding customer to accept that, cheaper to heat for life though!

@andrewmiddleton1762 17 күн бұрын
Something I dont understand - 1 reflective layer of foil reflects maybe 97% + of radiated heat, and similarly stops heat being emitted and lost through radiation. The expensive multifoil seems un-necessary..technically, baking foil could do the same thing. I laid a single reflective bubblebacked layer across loft floor and a second layer attached to underside of roof support. I have the data to show temperature gradients of minimal heat loss upwards in winter and limited downward radiation from hot roof in summer, plus passive loft ventilation cooling in summer from eaves to ridge. Also passive house base to roof summer night cooling. If you want to limit heat radiation without spending a fortune - I believe one shiny surface does it.

@@andrewmiddleton1762 As a fundamentally lazy DIYer I never want to do the job twice or it to be unsuccessful. No bodging or that'll do here as that historically means I repeat the job. Yes Superfoil is expensive but the ROI was 4 years for my house, the ease of deployment as a giant blanket over the rafters. Superfoil was very successful for me, my requirements and house. Others have different houses, standards and ROI calculations

With that foil tape with paper backing, have you tried a piece of masking tape on one side, makes it easier to separate, i do vinyl graphics for a living and works for me,

the key to that tape is once its separated from the backing always leave sme backing on so you can peel it again. allso wack a chisel into a stud and hang in on it and it never tangles.

Yeah keep the backing on, never rip it off at the foil. A good lagger puts the tape on his belt.. never tangles.

Great video Roger. That foil looks like amazing insulation and in that space, quite challenging. Can I ask, with the mask that you’re wearing, and when you have your glasses on, do you get condensation on the inside of your glasses from the breath escaping at the top of your mask? I always struggle with the masks I’ve used in the past. Keep up the great work 👌👍
