Our SuperFoil Installation Process
Our installation process complies with current building regulations, independently verified technical specifications, assessment criteria, design considerations, installation guidance from the manufacturer, and regular surveillance of installation. These measures ensure that the installation of SuperFoil adheres to industry standards, providing you with a reliable and effective insulation solution for your property.
Measurement and Cutting:
Our installation process begins with precise measurement of the area to be insulated. SuperFoil is then cut accordingly, either in advance or on-site, ensuring a tailored fit for optimal performance.
Batten Placement:
Wood battens are applied to the designated area, creating a framework ready to receive the SuperFoil insulation. This step ensures a secure and stable foundation for the insulation material.
Staple Application:
Staples are then used to secure the SuperFoil in place. This method guarantees the insulation remains securely fixed, providing long-lasting performance and minimizing the risk of displacement over time.
Quality Check:
Once the installation is complete, a thorough quality check is performed on the freshly applied SuperFoil insulation. This step ensures that the installation meets our high standards and guarantees that no moisture or dampness will pass through in the future.
In the installation process, it's essential to note that plastering the room is typically reserved for spaces intended for habitation. While this option provides a seamless finish and integration with the room's aesthetics, it's important to consider that it can be a more costly solution. The decision to plaster over SuperFOIL should align with the specific requirements of the space and budget considerations, ensuring that the chosen method complements the overall goals of the insulation project.
