SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap DIY Reflective Insulation – 1m x 7m

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap is a lightweight, waterproof reflective multifoil insulation designed for a wide range of DIY insulation projects. Suitable for use in roofs, walls and floors, it can also be used for insulating garages, sheds, garden buildings, greenhouses and suitable commercial or industrial applications.

At just 3mm thick, SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap provides a space-efficient way to add reflective insulation without the bulk associated with many conventional insulation materials. Its low-emissivity reflective surfaces work with suitable adjacent airspaces to help reduce heat transfer, helping keep spaces warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

The insulation is also water and vapour resistant, helping restrict the passage of moisture through the construction and contributing towards the control of condensation, damp and mould when incorporated into an appropriately designed building element.

Each 1m x 7m roll provides 7m² of coverage.

What is SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap Used For?

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap has been designed as a versatile DIY insulation product suitable for numerous applications.

Typical uses include:

• Roof insulation
• Wall insulation
• Underfloor insulation
• Dry lining systems
• Loft and attic projects
• Garage insulation
• Shed insulation
• Garden buildings
• Greenhouses
• Workshops
• Refurbishment projects
• DIY thermal upgrades
• Commercial buildings
• Suitable industrial applications

Its lightweight and flexible construction makes the insulation particularly useful for smaller DIY projects and applications where a thin insulation layer is preferred.

Reflective Multifoil Insulation

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap uses reflective surfaces to help reduce radiant heat transfer.

Radiant heat can represent an important element of overall heat transfer through a building. The low-emissivity surfaces of reflective insulation help reduce this transfer when facing an appropriate airspace.

This allows SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap to supplement the thermal performance of suitable roof, wall and floor constructions while occupying very little space.

Helps Keep Spaces Warmer in Winter

During colder weather, heat naturally moves from warmer internal spaces towards colder external areas.

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap helps reduce heat transfer through the insulated building element, while its reflective surfaces provide a radiant barrier when correctly installed with an appropriate airspace.

This can help improve thermal comfort in suitable:

• Homes
• Lofts
• Garages
• Workshops
• Sheds
• Garden rooms
• Greenhouses
• Other insulated spaces

Helps Keep Spaces Cooler in Summer

Reflective insulation can also provide useful benefits during warmer weather.

The low-emissivity foil surfaces help reduce radiant heat transfer, including heat entering through roofs and walls exposed to solar gain.

This provides year-round insulation benefits, helping retain useful heat during winter while reducing unwanted radiant heat gain during summer.

Ideal for Roof Insulation

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap can be incorporated into suitable roof insulation projects where a lightweight reflective insulation layer is required.

At only 3mm thick, the product takes up minimal space and can be particularly useful for DIY refurbishment and insulation upgrade projects.

Its flexible roll format also makes the material straightforward to handle and cut around different roof details.

Suitable for Wall and Dry Lining Applications

The insulation can be used within suitable wall and dry lining systems, including projects where available internal space is limited.

Its slim profile allows a reflective insulation layer to be incorporated without substantially increasing the thickness of the finished construction.

The water and vapour-resistant properties can also contribute towards moisture management when the product is correctly positioned and sealed as part of the overall wall design.

Underfloor Reflective Insulation

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap is suitable for underfloor insulation applications.

When installed with the appropriate low-emissivity airspace, its reflective surfaces can help reduce radiant heat transfer through the floor.

A continuous and appropriately sealed installation can also help reduce unwanted air movement and draughts through suspended floor constructions.

This can be particularly useful when upgrading older properties with cold or draughty suspended floors.

Water and Vapour Resistant

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap is designed to resist the passage of both water and water vapour.

This allows the product to provide additional moisture resistance within suitable roof, wall and floor constructions.

Controlling moisture movement is an important consideration when reducing the risk of condensation-related problems such as:

• Damp
• Mould
• Moisture accumulation
• Deterioration of surrounding materials

The complete construction should always be appropriately designed to manage moisture and condensation risk.

Helps Reduce Draughts

When installed continuously and appropriately sealed, SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap can also help reduce unwanted air movement.

This can be particularly useful for underfloor applications, where gaps and air leakage can contribute towards uncomfortable draughts and unnecessary heat loss.

Reducing uncontrolled air movement can complement the thermal performance of the insulation and improve overall comfort.

Ideal for Greenhouse Insulation

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap can be used in suitable greenhouse insulation applications.

During colder periods, reflective insulation can help reduce heat loss and retain more useful warmth within the greenhouse.

Its waterproof construction and lightweight format also make it practical to handle and install within suitable garden and horticultural structures.

Suitable for Garages, Sheds and Garden Buildings

The versatility of SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap makes it a practical option for insulating:

• Garages
• Sheds
• Summerhouses
• Workshops
• Garden rooms
• Other garden buildings

These structures can become particularly cold during winter and excessively warm during summer.

Reflective insulation helps reduce heat transfer in both directions, providing useful year-round thermal benefits.

Suitable for Commercial and Industrial Applications

In addition to domestic DIY projects, SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap can be incorporated into appropriate commercial and industrial insulation applications.

Its lightweight construction, water resistance and reflective properties provide a versatile insulation option where a thin, easy-to-handle material is required.

Suitability should be assessed against the thermal, fire, moisture and regulatory requirements of the specific project.

Only 3mm Thick

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap has a thickness of just 3mm, making it particularly useful where available installation space is restricted.

The slim construction can be beneficial for:

• Refurbishment projects
• Dry lining
• Underfloor applications
• Smaller buildings
• DIY insulation upgrades
• Areas where thicker insulation would reduce usable space

Despite its minimal thickness, the reflective surfaces can contribute useful thermal performance when installed with the required low-emissivity airspace.

Lightweight and Easy to Install

SuperFOIL General Purpose Wrap has been designed with straightforward installation in mind.

Its lightweight and flexible construction makes it easy to:

• Carry
• Handle
• Measure
• Cut
• Position
• Fix
• Adapt around building details

This makes it particularly suitable for DIY users looking for a manageable alternative to heavier or bulkier insulation materials.

7m² Coverage Per Roll

Each roll measures 1m wide x 7m long, providing a total coverage of:

7m² per roll

The compact roll size makes it particularly convenient for smaller insulation projects where purchasing larger quantities could result in unnecessary waste.
