FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this insulation roll?

The primary benefit is its ability to reflect up to 95% of heat back into the room, helping to reduce heat loss and make rooms warm up faster.

What adhesive should I use?

It is recommended to use Wallrock Thermal Adhesive for best results and secure application.

How much area does one roll cover?

Each roll measures 5m long and 50cm wide, providing 2.5 square metres of coverage.

Can I use this on any wall surface?

Yes, it can be applied to most standard interior wall surfaces, provided they are clean, dry, and sound.

How do I clean the foil surface?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Is this a standalone insulation solution?

This product is designed to enhance existing insulation by reflecting heat. It is most effective when used in conjunction with other insulation methods, rather than as a sole insulation solution for severe conditions.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

Each roll is 5 metres long and 50 centimetres wide.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not holding the roll securely.

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and sound). Use the recommended Wallrock Thermal Adhesive and apply it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure an even and sufficient coat of adhesive.

Bubbles or creases appearing on the surface after application.

Smooth the material immediately after application using a clean, dry brush or roller. Work from the center outwards to push out air bubbles. If bubbles persist, you may need to carefully lift and reapply the section.

Difficulty cutting the material cleanly.

Use a sharp craft knife or heavy-duty scissors. Make sure the material is taut and supported on a flat surface while cutting. Replace blades frequently for cleaner cuts.

Reduced effectiveness after installation.

Verify that the foil side is facing the room to maximize heat reflection. Ensure there are no gaps or significant overlaps that could create thermal bridges. Check that the application is smooth and flush against the wall.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint. Any imperfections should be smoothed out.
  2. Adhesive Application: For best results, use Wallrock Thermal Adhesive. Apply the adhesive evenly to the wall using a roller or brush, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Application: Carefully hang the insulation roll, ensuring the foil side faces the room. Smooth out any bubbles or creases using a clean, dry brush or roller.
  4. Cutting: The material can be cut to size using a sharp craft knife or scissors. Allow for overlap if necessary.

Compatibility:

  • This product is designed to be used with Wallrock Thermal Adhesive for optimal performance and adhesion.
  • It can be applied to most standard interior wall surfaces.
  • It is not intended as a structural insulation material or a vapor barrier on its own.

Care:

  • Clean the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the foil surface.
  • Inspect periodically for any signs of damage or peeling, and re-adhere if necessary with the recommended adhesive.
