About this product
SuperFOIL SF6 Multifoil Insulation offers a powerful solution for improving thermal performance in a wide range of DIY projects. This lightweight and flexible multifoil roll provides excellent insulation, acts as a radiant barrier, and functions as a vapour control layer – combining three essential features into one convenient product. Designed for ease of use, it’s perfect for those undertaking home improvements themselves, particularly in spaces with limited access like lofts, garages, or garden buildings.
This 1.2m x 10m roll is constructed using high emissivity foil layers to effectively prevent the transfer of infrared heat energy, helping to keep living spaces warmer during winter and cooler during summer. The specially developed thermo-foam layers contribute to maximum core thermal resistance, ensuring optimal performance. It’s incredibly easy to install – simply unroll it and secure it with a staple gun between rafters or joists; no specialist equipment or expertise is required.
SuperFOIL SF6 Multifoil Insulation is ideal for applications like roof and wall insulation, loft conversions, garages, basements, motorhomes and conservatory roofs. Its thin construction saves space compared to traditional insulation materials, while its independent testing and LABC/BBA accreditation guarantee reliable thermal performance. It’s important to note that the roll performs best when installed with an air gap on either side for maximum efficiency.
This versatile product is a valuable addition to any DIY project requiring efficient thermal control. The roll covers approximately 12 square meters, making it suitable for various spaces and offering significant energy savings.

FAQ
What is SuperFOIL SF6 best suited for?
SuperFOIL SF6 is primarily designed for improving thermal performance in a wide range of spaces, including lofts, garages, basements, and even motorhomes. Its reflective properties make it particularly effective in reducing heat transfer, keeping rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
How much area does the 10m roll cover?
The SuperFOIL SF6 roll covers an area of approximately 12 square meters. This makes it suitable for insulating smaller to medium-sized spaces like a standard single garage or a portion of a loft conversion.
What is the insulation made from?
The insulation itself consists of high emissivity foil layers and specially developed thermo-foam layers. This combination provides both excellent thermal resistance and reflectivity, crucial for its performance as a radiant barrier.
Does it require any special tools to install?
Installation is relatively straightforward and doesn't typically require specialized tools. You’ll need a staple gun to secure the roll to rafters or joists, but no other protective equipment (PPE) is needed during installation.
What’s the difference between this and traditional mineral wool insulation?
Unlike bulky mineral wool, SuperFOIL SF6 is a thin multifoil roll that saves space in tight areas like lofts. Its reflective properties also provide additional benefits beyond simply trapping heat; it actively reflects infrared radiation.
Does it need an air gap to work effectively?
Yes, SuperFOIL SF6 is designed to perform optimally with a consistent air gap either side of the insulation. Without this, its thermal performance will be significantly reduced.
Is it suitable for conservatory roofs?
Absolutely! The reflective properties of SuperFOIL SF6 make it a great choice for conservatory roofs, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature and reduce energy bills by reflecting solar heat gain.
How easy is it to maintain and clean?
SuperFOIL SF6 is generally easy to maintain; simply vacuuming regularly will remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or excessive moisture.
What does ‘LABC Registered & BBA Accredited’ mean?
The LABC Registration and BBA Accreditation signify that SuperFOIL SF6 has been independently tested and certified to meet stringent performance standards. This guarantees its thermal effectiveness and provides assurance of quality.
How does the price compare to other insulation options?
SuperFOIL SF6 falls into a mid-range price tier, offering excellent value for its performance. While more expensive than basic foil insulation, it provides superior thermal resistance and multiple benefits as a radiant barrier and vapour control layer.
