Product Information

Full details

This 40mm YBS SuperQuilt Multifoil Insulation is designed for homeowners and builders seeking an efficient, all-in-one solution for thermal insulation. Its key benefit is reducing energy transfer across roofs, walls, and floors with a slim profile. A potential caveat is that while it offers excellent thermal resistance, it's crucial to ensure proper installation to achieve its full performance potential. This versatile blanket features nineteen layers and an integrated vapour control layer, making it effective for various construction depths.

FAQs

What is the R-value of YBS SuperQuilt 40mm?

The R-value can vary depending on the specific installation method and air gap configuration. YBS SuperQuilt is designed to achieve a high equivalent R-value when installed correctly with appropriate air spaces.

Do I need a separate vapour barrier?

No, YBS SuperQuilt 40mm comes with an integrated vapour control layer, eliminating the need for an additional barrier when installed correctly.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, installation is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal performance, paying close attention to air gaps and sealing.

How is YBS SuperQuilt 40mm different from standard insulation?

Unlike traditional insulation materials that trap air, SuperQuilt uses reflective layers and air spaces to reduce heat transfer through radiation and convection, offering high performance in a thin profile.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The specific dimensions can vary by manufacturer batch, but it is typically supplied in rolls that are easy to handle and install. Refer to product packaging for exact dimensions.

Is YBS SuperQuilt suitable for a conservatory roof?

Yes, it can be used to improve the thermal performance of conservatory roofs, helping to regulate temperature throughout the year.

Troubleshooting

Reduced thermal performance

Ensure all seams are properly taped, there are no gaps in coverage, and the recommended air gaps are maintained. Check for any compression or damage to the insulation.

Condensation observed

Verify that the integrated vapour control layer is correctly oriented (usually facing the warm side of the construction) and that all necessary seals are intact.

Difficulty in cutting or fitting

Use sharp cutting tools such as a utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. Ensure measurements are accurate before cutting to minimize waste.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly effective at reducing thermal transfer due to its multilayer reflective design.
  • Slim profile makes it ideal for applications where space is limited.
  • Built-in vapour control layer simplifies construction and reduces risk of condensation.
  • Can be used across multiple areas of a building (roofs, walls, floors).
  • Contributes to energy savings and reduced utility bills.

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to ensure the air gaps between layers remain intact for optimal performance.
  • May require additional standard insulation in very cold climates for maximum compliance with building regulations.
  • Reflective properties can be diminished if covered by dust or debris over time.
  • Not a standalone solution for all thermal performance requirements; may need to be combined with other insulation types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

SuperQuilt is typically installed by stapling the edges to timber joists or battens. Ensure that the product is installed taut and without creases to maintain the integrity of the air gaps. Maintain a minimum 25mm air gap on one side of the product for optimal performance. Overlap adjacent rolls by at least 50mm and seal all seams with appropriate YBS thermal tape.

Compatibility:

This multifoil insulation is suitable for use in a variety of construction types, including new builds and renovations for roofs, walls, and floors. It can be used in conjunction with traditional insulation materials. Always ensure compliance with local building regulations.

Care:

Once installed and covered, SuperQuilt requires no ongoing maintenance. Its performance is dependent on maintaining the sealed structure and the air gaps. Avoid puncturing or compressing the material.
