FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL is more than just insulation - when used externally on framed walls it provides a weatherproof shield that enables internal trades to proceed without waiting for brickwork or cladding completion.

Since paper based products are not used in its manufacture FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL does not delaminate or breakdown in prolonged wet and windy conditions. Its exclusive fasteners ensure that FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL will withstand severe wind conditions.

FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL will not sag and leave uninsulated pockets that can reduce the R-value. Installed correctly, the full R-value will last for the life of the building. Once fixed in place it will maintain complete coverage around the building. As it covers the frame there can be no loss of effectiveness via thermal bridging through the frame. A thermal bridge is created when materials that are poor insulators come in contact, allowing heat to flow through the path created. Attached to the face of studs, FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL eliminates thermal bridging through the frame and air infiltration.

Brick Veneer - Timber/Steel Frame

FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL will not sag and leave uninsulated pockets that can reduce the R-value. Installed correctly, the full R-value will last for the life of the building. Once fixed in place it will maintain complete coverage around the building. As it covers the frame there can be no loss of effectiveness via thermal bridging through the frame

Weatherboard or Cladding - Timber/Steel Frame

A thermal bridge is created when materials that are poor insulators come in contact, allowing heat to flow through the path created. Attached to the face of studs, FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL eliminates thermal bridging through the frame and air infiltration.

Double Brick

FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL is easy to install during the construction of double brick walls. It is customary to run the inner skin of brickwork up at least 1200mm, push FOILBOARD® Spacer Blocks over the protruding wall ties. Following this, push the FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL over brick ties and up against the spacers, taping holes around ties secures the sheet in position. Tape all joins to restrict the transfer of hot and cold air.

Underfloor - Timber Floor

It is recommended that for best-fit plumbing rough in and all other services under floor are complete. FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL is lightweight, easy and safe to handle. It may be easily cut to size using long snap blade knife and off-cuts can be taped and re-used.
Space FOILBOARD® FLOOR SADDLES on top of floor joists at approximately 600mm centres. Saddles should be spaced 200mm from end of sheet. At double joists simply cut the FOILBOARD® FLOOR SADDLE in half and fasten with a nail.
Push FLOOR SADDLES down so that the specially designed teeth can grip the joist.
Cut FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL to size to fit in-between joists. Place sheet between joists, resting on the lip of the FLOOR SADDLES. Gently apply pressure until it clicks into place with the patented lock-in flap design. This will prevent wind from unsettling the sheet from underneath. For a perfect job sheets must be taped where they join. Tape or silicone gaps and holes to prevent air infiltration that lowers the R-value.

Underfloor - Retro Fit

When fixed directly to under side of floor joists, FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL greatly improves the thermal performance of a timber floor.
FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL should be fixed directly to the underside of joists using FOILBOARD® FASTENERS. It is recommended that FOILBOARD® spans across joists and between bearers using 3 fasteers per joist. Joins do not need to be made on a joist and taping eliminates thermal bridging. the ends of the joists must be sealed in order to promote a sealed airspace. This is where a majority of the R-value is created.

Concrete Walls & Ceilings - Single Reflective Surface

A 150mm thick concrete wall with plasterboard has a rating of only R0.3. A FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL system will transform it to the high values shown

Concrete Walls - Dual Reflective Airspace

In this configuration the double air space achieves higher R-values and improved acoustic properties still with only a single sheet of FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL. To create the space behind the board use an LG Betafix Clip or similar plastering packer/batten.

Under Concrete Floor

Where heating is used in suspended floor slabs, FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL achieves considerable energy savings. Direct stick applications are also available.

Cathedral Roof - Tile / Iron

Where cavities are at a premium FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL offers a slimline solution to your cathedral ceiling with impressive R ratings. Many custom systems are available for this application.

Suspended Ceiling

Fixing a layer of Foilboard to the underside of the roof purlins achieves high thermal efficiences within this type of commercial application. the sheet is installed to the underside of the roof purlins using fasteners. Then suspended ceiling should be then hung from the purlins through the Foilboard.

Factory - Shed Roof & Walls

The Foilboard® fasteners are suitable for fixing to the face of timber and Foilboard® Steel Frame Fasteners to tell frame construction. Use water based adhesive to hold in place where fitting Foilboard® between framing members. Aluminium tape is recommended to tape all joins. It is most important to have an airspace between cladding and FOILBOARD® INSULATION PANEL. A spacer block can be used to ensure the board is in position. Battening & lining walls and roof will add an extra R0.5 to total system values.
