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.

[@gap4998]

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

[@CosmicBrain21]

@@gap4998Exactly this. A minimum means the MINIMUM, not the suggested amount. It’s the same for drivers on the road that treat the speed limit like a target.

Done to what they can get away with, or less in some cases, happier to go to court than to do it right. Most aren't that bad thankfully.

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

[@SuperFOIL-Insulation]

Great to see (and love reading all the positive comments)! Thanks Roger & the Skill Builder team.

[@johnhaydon4055]

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!

[@nvelsen1975]

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.

[@MrFlyby34]

Thanks I ordered a super foil sample pack😊

[@weekendwarrior3420]

Yep, you are so right. It's not the qualities of materials alone, but the qualities of the whole installation, that matter.

[@lestercranmer2631]

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,

[@eddjordan2399]

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.

[@kriskelly6458]

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

[@JoannaLouise200]

What a claustrophobic space to work in! The quirky timberwork made it look like a cobbled together tree-house :)

[@YvetteWilliams-dx2kk]

I have learned so much from these videos thanks !

[@feylezofriza]

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.

[@irbfenian2594]

SuperFOIL perfect for a grow room.

[@steadfastandyx4947]

Horrible job ; well done Roger. I'm interested that you said this is a new build. If so why has it sarking felt on it and not modern roofing underlay?

[@davideyres955]

Because it cheaper. New builds are slung together with scant regard to standards. If they can get away with it, they will.

[@tlaw192]

How best to refurbish 1960s residential balconies? They are usually concret floor and asphalt finish usually. How do we refurbish it to reduce cold bridging with insulation; and have some waterproofing membrane finish?

roger im working on a job where the architect wanted 40mm backed kingspan plaster boards in the loft conversion and 100mm in the dormer ceiling joists and the 40mm over that had ive never seen that super foil looks great 👍👍

[@loosecannon5813]

I've worked with the 19 layer superfoil, unlike celotex/kingspan there was very little wastage and of course no foam dust!

[@happyglampers9053]

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 👌👍

[@wetrupload9375]

Don't know what Roger's wearing, but have a look at the JSP Force8 masks. I'm only a DIYer but what a godsend this was when re-doing the old itchy insulation in my loft.

[@mikedennington8856]

I have used that product and found the foil tape separated after a year and I had to re apply tape to cover the seams.

[@DrExpresso]

Can it be used on a concrete floor under carpet?

[@whalebonefields]

how much did SuperFOIL pay you for this video?

[@SkillBuilder]

They didn't pay us. They supplied the insulation.

Im having a new roof on an existing 1970s dorma bungalow with almost no insulation other than the odd bit of tired rock wool .I have no insulation behind the plasterboard walls of the bedrooms similar to this job.was all set to have multifoil installed by the roofer when he retiles the roof .fitted on top of trusses and under the tiles at a fairly expensive cost.....but having been on quite a few roofing sites most of the roofers say its useless as insulation so really unsure what to do now......they were all saying useless without celotex between the timbers and another layer across those encasing it all.......makes it seem a pointless task

[@dougsaunders8109]

Super foil under my floor boards in my 200+ year old house. Try putting PIR with not a straight line to be seen

[@JurassicJungle]

Would Gapotape work or is it more than that can cover?

[@TooMuchInfoSir]

Roger, my loft has the same old school thick roofing membrane. I want to make my loft dust free and smelling nicer for storage, but also don't want rafters to rot behind insulation or boarding. Any suggestions?

[@yvonne3903]

Can superfoil be used effectively behind insulation board on stud walls?? Any problems with condensation??

[@mrbear526]

I installed Superfoil SF60 in my cold air loft over the top of 2 inches of crapped fibreglass installation 3 yrs ago in a day. ! A fundamental change in the warmth of the house, massive reduction in heating BTU needed ! TOP PRODUCT not cheap but payback is 5yrs for me

[@andrewmiddleton1762]

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.

[@m0aze611]

Great product did my loft about 15 years ago. Hard work for one but paid dividends over the years to the comfort and warmth to the upstairs. Equally became a relatively dust free area for storage.

[@mrbear526]

@@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

[@wetrupload9375]

@@andrewmiddleton1762 I believe the superfoil products control any moisture as well with their vapour control layer. Foil alone I don't think will tackle this element of house insulation. Passive loft ventilation is good.

[@andrewmiddleton1762]

@@wetrupload9375 Maybe you are right. But how would water vapour move through superfoil foil layers - maybe it buffers surface temperature to control potential condensation? I am struggling to think - do the foil layers have vapour mini-holes in them?

So a new build with a DIY bodge, I should be surprised, but I am not.

[@pleappleappleap]

You could run corrugated plastic behind the insulation to provide a gap, and run from a ridge vent to a soffit vent.

[@eddjordan2399]

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

[@RPBCACUEAIIBH]

Why insulate a area which isn’t being used

[@GaryHerberson]

Because the house IS being used and the house heat will escape to the outside.

[@bobjit252]

@@GaryHerberson so if the heat escapes into a room/area which isn’t being used then the room which is being used will still loose the heat and be cooler
