Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of Actis HControl Hybrid Multifoil Insulation?

It acts as a reflective vapor control layer and provides supplementary thermal insulation, contributing to both energy efficiency and airtightness in buildings.

Where should this product be installed?

It should be installed on the warm side of any insulation material, typically on the interior face of roofs, walls, and ceilings, behind the final interior finish.

What are the dimensions of one roll?

One roll measures 6250mm in length and 1600mm in width.

Do I need to seal the joints and edges?

Yes, absolutely. Meticulous sealing of all joints, overlaps, and edges with Actis's approved tape is crucial for achieving airtightness and its vapor control function.

Can this be used with any type of insulation?

Yes, it is designed to be compatible with virtually any form of insulation, including mineral wool, foam boards, and blown insulation.

Does this product replace primary insulation?

It supplements primary insulation by adding thermal resistance and creating an airtight barrier. It is not typically intended as a sole source of insulation.

What tools are needed for installation?

Standard tools like a sharp utility knife for cutting and a stapler for fixing are generally sufficient. An approved tape is required for sealing.

Troubleshooting

Reduced thermal performance

Ensure all joints, overlaps, and edges are properly and completely sealed with the approved tape. Check for any punctures or gaps in the material or its sealing.

Difficulty cutting the material

Use a sharp utility knife or a specialized cutting tool designed for insulation materials to ensure clean cuts and avoid snagging.

Airtightness not meeting expectations

Verify that the multifoil is installed on the correct side (warm side) and that all potential air leakage paths, including around services and junctions, have been sealed meticulously.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides both insulation and vapor control in one product.
  • Contributes to improved airtightness, reducing energy loss.
  • Flexible and compatible with most insulation types.
  • Simplifies the installation process by combining functions.
  • Enhances thermal efficiency through reflective properties.

Cons

  • Requires careful sealing to maintain its vapor control function.
  • Primarily intended for use on the warm side of insulation.
  • May require specific detailing around junctions and penetrations for optimal airtightness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and dry before installation.
  2. Placement: Install the multifoil on the warm side of the insulation material, against the interior boarding or finish.
  3. Cutting: Cut to size using a sharp utility knife or appropriate cutting tool.
  4. Fixing: Fix the multifoil securely using staples, ensuring overlaps are adequate.
  5. Sealing: Critically, all joints, overlaps, and edges must be meticulously sealed using Actis's approved tape to create a continuous air and vapor barrier. Pay close attention to junctions with walls, windows, and doors.

Compatibility:

This product is compatible with virtually any form of insulation, including mineral wool, rigid boards, and blown insulation. It is designed to complement existing insulation strategies.

Care:

Once installed and sealed, the Actis HControl Hybrid Multifoil Insulation requires no ongoing maintenance. Its performance relies on the integrity of the installation, particularly the sealing of joints. Avoid puncturing the material during subsequent construction phases.
