SuperFOIL insulation is often considered a better alternative to traditional insulation materials (like fiberglass or foam boards) in specific situations due to several key advantages:
SuperFOIL uses multiple layers of reflective foil and insulating wadding or bubble layers. This design reflects radiant heat (up to 95%), which traditional insulation doesn't handle as efficiently.
It offers high insulation values (R-values) in a thinner profile, making it ideal where space is limited, such as loft conversions or timber frame walls.
SuperFOIL is lightweight and flexible, making it easier to cut, handle, and install than rigid boards or itchy fiberglass batts.
Many SuperFOIL products act as a vapour control layer (VCL) or breathable membrane, reducing the need for additional layers and preventing condensation issues.
Because of its layered structure, SuperFOIL provides thermal protection in both winter (retaining heat) and summer (reflecting heat away), making it more versatile year-round.
Some SuperFOIL products are made using recycled materials, and the high performance means less energy is needed for heating and cooling.
Cavity wall insulation offers several important benefits for homeowners and buildings. Here are the key advantages:
It reduces heat loss through the walls, which can account for up to 35% of total heat loss in a home. This helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
With less heat escaping, you use your heating (and cooling) systems less, which translates into noticeable savings on your energy bills over time.
By lowering your energy use, cavity wall insulation helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making your home more environmentally friendly.
It creates a more stable indoor temperature, reducing cold drafts and improving overall comfort in your living spaces.
For most homes, cavity wall insulation can be installed quickly (often within a few hours) with minimal disruption, especially when using blown-in materials like mineral wool or polystyrene beads.
A well-insulated home is more attractive to buyers and can improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, which adds value to your property.
When installed properly, cavity insulation doesn't allow water to bridge from the outer to the inner wall, helping maintain dry, mold-free interiors.
