Introducing EcoQuilt65: The Next Generation of Multifoil Insulation

Ecohome Insulation, a leading innovator in sustainable building solutions, has unveiled its latest breakthrough in thermal technology – the EcoQuilt65 multifoil insulation. This cutting-edge product represents a significant leap forward in insulation performance, offering unparalleled energy efficiency and versatility for a wide range of applications. In this guide, we’ll explore the features, benefits, and applications of EcoQuilt65, and why it’s poised to revolutionise the insulation industry.

What is Multifoil Insulation?

The concept of multifoil insulation has been around for decades, but recent advancements have propelled this technology to new heights. Multifoil insulation works by combining multiple layers of reflective foil with low-emissivity surfaces and insulating core materials. This unique construction creates an effective barrier against heat transfer through radiation, conduction, and convection.

Traditional insulation materials like fibreglass and mineral wool have long been the go-to choices for builders and homeowners. However, these materials often fall short in terms of performance, ease of installation, and long-term durability. Multifoil insulation addresses these shortcomings by offering thin, lightweight, and highly effective alternatives.

Ecohome Insulation has been at the forefront of multifoil technology with its EcoQuilt range. The original EcoQuilt Expert quickly became a favorite among DIY enthusiasts and professional builders alike, thanks to its impressive thermal performance and user-friendly design. Building on this success, the company has continuously refined its products, leading to the development of EcoQuilt45 and now EcoQuilt65.

The Science Behind EcoQuilt65

EcoQuilt65 boasts an impressive 19-layer construction, each layer carefully designed to contribute to the overall thermal efficiency of the product. These layers include:

  • Reinforced heavy-duty laminated foil outer layers
  • Reflective foil PET layers
  • Recycled loft quilt layers

This intricate layering system creates a formidable barrier against heat transfer, effectively keeping warmth in during winter and during summer.

Reflective Foil Innovation

The reflective foil layers on EcoQuilt65 are not your average aluminium sheets. Ecohome Insulation has developed a foil with enhanced reflectivity and durability. This advanced foil reflects up to 95% of radiant heat, significantly outperforming standard reflective material.

Thermal Bridging Prevention

One of the key advantages of EcoQuilt65 is its ability to minimise thermal bridging – the transfer of heat through materials that are more conductive than the surrounding insulation. The continuous nature of the multifoil layers creates an unbroken thermal envelope, reducing heat loss through studs, joists, and other structural elements. As well as the recycled loft quilt layers which work in combination with the foil to slow down heat transfer through conduction.

Moisture Management

Effective insulation must not only manage heat but also moisture. When fully taped and sealed with Thermaseal Foil Joining Tape it creates a Vapour Control Barrier (VCL) which reduces the amount of moisture that can travel through a building. This prevents condensation and dampness, protects the insulation from water damage as well, and keeps the building dry.

EcoQuilt65 Technical Specification

R-value

EcoQuilt65 is our most complete product with an in-house tested core R-value of 2.040m²K/W. This excellent core R-value results in a pitched roof or flat roof R-value of 2.94m²K/W. In a stud wall or timber frame wall, the expected R-value would be 3.38m²K/W. EcoQuilt65’s R-value in a floor would be up to 4.73m²K/W.

Size

EcoQuilt65 is currently available in roll sizes of 1.5m x 10m which covers an area of 15m². The material is 65mm thick which compresses down during installation.

For larger orders save on costs by ordering EcoQuilt65 in a Trade Pallet Deal! Included in this deal are 6 rolls of EcoQuilt65 at a reduced rate, alongside FREE rolls of Thermaseal Foil Joining Tape a FREE Staple Gun, and 5,000 staples.

Applications

EcoQuilt65 is designed to be a one-size-fits-all solution for various insulation needs. It can be effectively used in:

  • Roofs (pitched and flat)
  • Walls (internal and external)
  • Floors
  • Loft spaces
  • Conservatories
  • Garden Buildings
  • Sheds
  • Garages
  • And many more!

This versatility simplifies the insulation process and reduces the need for multiple product types on a single project. It also replaces the need for multiple layers of thinner multifoil and you may just need one layer of EcoQuilt65.

The Smart Choice for Modern Construction

In conclusion, EcoQuilt65 is more than just an insulation product; it’s a comprehensive solution for modern building challenges. It offers exceptional thermal performance, ease of use, environmental benefits, and the potential for ongoing innovation. For homeowners, builders, and architects looking to create energy-efficient, comfortable, and sustainable spaces, EcoQuilt65 represents the smart choice for insulation needs.
