Foil Loft Insulation Installers
Foil loft insulation is quickly taking the world by storm.
NASA scientists first discovered the great insulating properties of foil when they started using it for their million-dollar space shuttles, but you don’t need to be an astronaut to feel the benefits of effective under-rafter foil insulation in your earthly abode. Aluminium foil has now become the standard insulation material for existing homes in several countries, most notably, Australia.
Here is a short list of the pros of foil loft insulation:
What makes foil insulation stand out from other insulative products is its ability to reflect up to 95% of radiated heat. In short, it can radiate rising heat back down. Once installed, it acts as a radiant barrier excellent at regulating the internal temperature of a building.
Another trait of foil insulation is that its heat reflection works in all directions: on hotter days, it can reflect solar radiation from the Sun away from your roofing area, keeping the temperature cool throughout your home.
SuperFOIL is the brand of multi-foil insulation that we specialise in handling. It is considered by customers across the globe to be one of the most flexible, versatile, and overall best foil insulation products available for lofts.
We highly recommend SuperFOIL for mid-aged homes built from the 1920s to the 1960s, especially those in relatively warm parts of the UK such as East Anglia. The installation team at RJ Insulation are experienced in installing SuperFOIL insulation material, which requires an expert touch to handle safely due to its highly conductive properties. Although multi foil insulation cannot be installed on modern trussed roofs, it is perfect for properties built roughly within this 40+ year timeframe, which comprises a significant portion of all homes in the UK.
Acting as a radiant barrier for your home’s roof area, foil loft insulation is a great investment, especially for newly-built properties. See below for some of the specific benefits of SuperFOIL insulation!
LIFETIME GUARANTEE
RJ Insulation’s eco-friendly and sustainable products all come with a lifetime guarantee. The lifetime is against the building itself, so as long as your home stands, your SupaSoft, SuperFOIL, or Sheeps Wool loft insulation will be covered by our guarantee. Additionally, we offer a warranty backed by insurance from the IWA for a period of 5 years.
If you’re still a little confused about radiant barrier insulation, don’t worry, you’re probably not alone! We have put together some diagrams that we hope will make the process clearer to understand.
As you can see, when a radiant barrier such as thermal foil loft insulation is placed around the upper levels of a building, it can protect against heat radiation emanating from the Sun. The building is protected from these solar rays, which are harmlessly bounced back or absorbed by the material.
Simultaneously, the radiant barrier install reflects up to 95% of heat and circulates it throughout the building. The interior of the loft, now completely airtight, maintains a steadily warm temperature as a result of this. Like all of our other sustainable insulation products, SuperFOIL allows for enough ventilation to prevent a home from overheating.
