Foil-Tec
Aluminium Foil Insulation for Suspended and Concrete Floor Applications
Foil-Tec Single is a multi-layer foil laminate, coated with nitrocellulose to provide a corrosion resistant insulation system. Foil-Tec Single is a high-performance material which acts creating a low emissivity air space below the floor, thus reflecting the heat back. Foil-Tec Single can be applied to enhance U values in new build or refurbished building projects to meet and exceed current Building Regulations.

In Suspended Floor Applications

Foil-Tec Single is rolled Foil turned up out with the shiny side facing behind skirting upwards, over the joists Suspended Floor Foil-Tec Single is then nailed in place through the Foil-Tec Saddle Clips to maintain required air gap - 4 per m 2 The horizontal joints are Foil-Tec Foil-Tec Single with shiny side overlapped by 100mm and Saddle facing upwards Clip are left open to allow any (min 50mm air gap above) moisture accumulation to dissipate Foil-Tec SIngle must be brought up (behind the skirting board) to 75mm The decking is then fixed with screws (at 200mm centres) 37mm into the joists

For Concrete Floor Applications

Foil-Tec Single is rolled Foil turned up Foil-Tec out onto concrete floor Single with behind skirting with shiny side facing foil facing upwards upwards - leaving Timber (min 50mm enough edge overlap for Flooring air gap above) 75mm lip to be left beBatten hind skirting Timber battens/joists (min 50mm x 50mm) are then laid on top of the Foil-Tec Single, spaced at centres to suit the particular flooring. The decking is then fixed with screws (at 200mm centres) into battens/joists providing 25mm penetration into the 50mm wide battens/joists

In Crawl Space Applications

Foil-Tec Double is rolled out on the underside of the joists then stapled in place. Access to the under side of the joists is gained via the crawl space. The horizontal joints are overlapped by 100mm and are left open to allow any moisture accumulation to dissipate. Foil-Tec Double must be sealed around the perimeter or brought up above the floor deck.

Make 2 x 75-100mm cuts in Foil-tec - same width as joist. Then make one further cut, same width again, on each side. Fold up flap(A), fold back flaps (B) and pull Foil-tec (C) up to meet wall. Fix to wall and fit skirting board over, concealing Foil-tec.

The heat loss in a floor is greater at the exposed perimeter edge of the floor. To calculate the U-Value, the exposed perimeter edge to area ratio needs to be worked out e.g. - a 100m2 area, semi-detached house with 3 external walls of 10m each has a perimeter edge to area ratio of 0.3 (i.e. 30m - 100m2=0.3) which, using Foil-Tec : Single, gives a U-Value of 0.3 W/m2K.

Foil-Tec
Foil-Tec is a highly reflective and robust vapour control layer. YBS Insulation has developed this product to increase the thermal performance of both walls and roofs.

Insulating Vapour Control Layer

Foil-Tec provides additional strength and thermal performance over conventional vapour control layer material giving the added benefit of a service cavity.

Foil-Tec has a high Vapour resistance. Helps to reduce condensation risk in accordance with BS 5250: 2002. Reduces air leakage when used in conjunction with ThermaWrap Foil Tape as required by Building Regulations.

The low emissivity reflective properties of Foil-Tec increases the thermal performance of the structure in which it is installed. Foil-Tec comes with a corrosion and damage resistant surface. Foil-Tec has excellent nail tear resistance.

Foil-Tec is easy to cut, lightweight and easy to handle with no protective clothing.

Foil-Tec is a tough and durable material with a high burst strength.
