YBS SuperQuilt Multifoil Insulation
Superior Insulation. Space-Saving Design. Long-Term Performance.
What is SuperQuilt?
YBS SuperQuilt is a high-performance multifoil insulation designed for roofs, walls, and floors. Comprising 19 layers of reflective true aluminium foil, high-density foam, and wadding, it delivers excellent thermal performance in a slim, flexible roll. When installed correctly, it also acts as a vapour control layer — helping protect your home from moisture and condensation.
Key Features
-
Outstanding Thermal Performance
R-values of up to ~3.00 m²K/W in walls, depending on installation. In roof and floor applications it performs very strongly, equivalent to much thicker traditional insulation materials. -
Slim & Flexible
Only ~40mm thick in relaxed state and can compress significantly, making it ideal for projects with limited space. Easier to handle and fit than bulky rigid boards. -
Built-in Vapour Control
When taped and sealed along overlaps and perimeter, SuperQuilt serves as a vapour control layer reducing risk of condensation. -
Certified & Approved
Meets UK building standards (Agrément certified, BBA & BDA certified, NHBC & LABC acceptance) for many common applications. -
Reflective True Aluminium Layers
Reflects radiant heat back into the property in winter and resists external heat in summer — helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. -
Environmentally Thoughtful
A large proportion of recycled materials, non-degradable, no fibrous irritants, lighter to transport and install.
Benefits for Homeowners / Builders
-
Save Space — Achieve needed U-values without thick rigid boards; excellent for retrofits or where ceiling/joist depth is limited.
-
Lower Costs — Reduced material waste, simpler fitting, less labour time. The flexibility and slim profile mean fewer supplementary materials.
-
Comfort & Energy Efficiency — Improved warmth in winter, cooler interiors in summer, lower energy bills.
-
Moisture Protection — As long as installation is properly sealed, helps minimise condensation risks.
Typical Applications
SuperQuilt works great in a variety of settings, including:
-
Pitched roofs / loft conversions
-
Flat roofs
-
Solid & cavity walls
-
Suspended or solid floors
-
Renovations & new builds where space is at a premium
Installation Notes
-
Overlaps between rolls should be properly sealed (typically ~50mm overlap) using foil-joining tape.
-
Air gaps are beneficial — allowing the reflective surfaces to perform as intended. The product performs less well if fully compressed without cavity.
-
Always follow manufacturer data sheets and any relevant building control guidance.
