5 Reasons to use SuperQuilt by YBS Insulation

Explore a variety of insulation options on the market today, each with unique benefits. When choosing your next solution, consider one that is quick to install, gentle on your skin, and efficient on site. Discover the convenience of multifoil insulation, such as YBS SuperQuilt.

While not as well known, multifoil insulation is a very effective choice. Put simply, it merges many layers of reflective foil with low-emissivity surfaces, divided by foam or fibre wadding. This blend helps it tackle all three heat transfer types - conduction, convection, and radiation.

Why choose YBS SuperQuilt for your project? Let's explore the key benefits...

Excellent thermal performance

Despite being relatively thin compared to traditional insulation materials, YBS SuperQuilt can provide insulation values equivalent to much thicker layers of some alternatives – achieving thermal performance equivalent to 200mm of mineral fibre insulation. This high performance is achieved through the reflective properties of the foil layers, which bounce radiant heat back into the living space during winter and reflect solar heat away from the building in summer. This dual action ensures a cozy indoor temperature year-round, lowering energy expenses and boosting overall efficiency.

Easy to install

SuperQuilt is lightweight, flexible, and easy to install by yourself. No need for extra help on site. Simply unroll, cut with household scissors, and staple in place. Seal joints with specialized tape for insulation continuity. Upgrade your home insulation effortlessly with SuperQuilt - no professionals needed! Just follow our simple instructions for a cozy living space.

No need for PPE

With no annoying fibres to irritate your skin and lungs, there’s no need to suit up in gloves, masks and goggles during installation. And as a virtually mess-free solution, there will be no dust and fibres to clean up, driving up your time and labour costs. Experience a hassle-free installation process without the need for protective gear or cleanup of dust and fibres.

Easily handled in small spaces

Choosing the right material for the job in hand is key and when working in tight spaces such as loft conversions, bulky PIR boards, for example, might not be the best option. Luckily, SuperQuilt comes on a roll that can easily fit through loft hatches, plus its efficient trimming process reduces the time spent cramped in these small spaces.  Another great feature of SuperQuilt is its high-quality insulation properties, keeping your space warm and energy-efficient.

Space saving

YBS SuperQuilt’s slim profile makes it an excellent choice for projects where maximising living space is crucial. Its thinness allows for greater flexibility in design and can be particularly beneficial in loft conversions or renovations where every centimetre counts. Customers rave about the ease of installation of YBS SuperQuilt, making it a top choice for DIY enthusiasts looking to maximize their living space.

Moreover, with a two-in-one design, it integrates insulation and a vapor control membrane to effectively manage condensation without the hassle of installing separate products.
