Product Information

Full details

The Ybs Superquilt-Lite Insulation Roll is designed for homeowners and builders seeking to enhance thermal efficiency in roofs, walls, and floors. Its primary benefit is reducing heat loss and gain, leading to improved comfort and energy savings. A potential caveat is the need for correct sealing to function optimally as a vapor control layer. This 32mm multi-foil insulation roll features nine thermally efficient layers, offering an R-value equivalent to 90mm of mineral wool, and is Agrément Certified and NHBC accepted.

FAQs

What is the R-value of Ybs Superquilt-Lite?

The Ybs Superquilt-Lite offers an R-value up to 2.11 m²K/W, which is equivalent to approximately 90mm of traditional mineral wool insulation.

Do I need to wear PPE when installing this insulation?

No, the YBS Superquilt Lite is designed for installation without the need for specialized PPE kits, as it does not produce fibers or dust.

How do I seal the joints for vapor control?

All seams, edges, and junctions must be meticulously taped and sealed using the manufacturer's recommended high-performance adhesive tape to ensure it functions effectively as a vapor control layer.

Can this insulation be used in floor applications?

Yes, it is suitable for improving the thermal performance of floors, especially in new construction or retrofitting existing structures to enhance energy efficiency.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The YBS Superquilt Lite insulation roll measures 1.5m wide and 10m long, with a thickness of 32mm.

Is this product certified?

Yes, the YBS Superquilt Lite is Agrément certified and NHBC accepted, meeting stringent building control standards.

How does it handle different forms of heat transfer?

The nine-layer multi-foil construction helps manage radiant, conductive, and convective heat transfer, providing comprehensive thermal insulation.

Troubleshooting

Reduced thermal performance

Ensure all seams, edges, and junctions are properly taped and sealed to create a continuous vapor barrier. Check for any tears or gaps in the insulation material.

Condensation forming on surfaces

Verify that the Superquilt-Lite is correctly installed as a vapor control layer and that all seals are intact. Ensure adequate ventilation in the building design as per regulations.

Difficulty cutting the material

Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors for clean cuts. Score the material first for easier cutting.

Material seems less rigid than expected

This is normal for multi-foil insulation; it is designed to be flexible. Ensure it is adequately supported by the building structure (e.g., stapled to battens or framing).

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent thermal performance in a slim profile.
Acts as a vapor barrier when sealed, reducing condensation risk.
Certified and accepted by NHBC, ensuring building code compliance.
Easy and clean installation without fibers or dust.
Versatile for various applications like roofs, walls, and floors.
Cost-effective solution for energy efficiency improvements.

Cons

Requires careful taping and sealing to achieve optimal vapor control.
May require specific detailing around junctions for full effectiveness.
Performance can be impacted if installation instructions are not followed precisely.
Reflective surface may require specific handling to avoid glare during installation.
Not a standalone structural insulation material; requires support within building elements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the Ybs Superquilt-Lite and cut to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Install by fixing it directly to rafters, studs, or joists using staples or appropriate fixings. Ensure a continuous layer with minimal gaps. For optimal performance as a vapor control layer, all seams, edges, and junctions must be meticulously taped and sealed using the manufacturer's recommended tape. Overlap adjacent rolls by at least 50mm and ensure the reflective side faces the intended air gap (typically towards the interior air space).

Compatibility: This insulation is compatible with most standard building materials, including timber, metal framing, concrete, and masonry. It is designed for use in roof, wall, and floor applications within both new build and renovation projects. Always ensure compatibility with local building regulations.

Care: The insulation requires no ongoing maintenance. However, ensure the taped and sealed joints remain intact. If any damage occurs to the material or seals, repair promptly with suitable tape to maintain its insulating and vapor control properties. Clean any dust or debris from the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
