You can install multifoil insulation virtually anywhere! From roofs, floors, walls, garden buildings, campervans & boats, plus many more! SuperFOIL SF19+ is ideal for use in walls and roof structures in new build and in renovation, refurbishment and extension projects.

When installing within foundations, using a solid board like a Celotexinsulation board is the best underfloor insulation for a shed. You can nail smaller wooden pieces near the top of a foundation joist, onto which insulation boards can be affixed. If there are any small gaps you can fill them in with expanding insulation foam, and you can seal all boards with foil-based tape. Your traditional shed floor can then be installed over this, greatly minimising heat loss within your shed.

The houses perform extremely well in both summer and winter. The additional building cost was reasonable, and much cheaper than spray foam. Installation requires no special tools or respiratory masks or clothing. I agree that the advertising techniques may be flawed but the product itself, when installed correctly, is effective. They'll claim the R-value of bubble wrap is exaggerated because it requires an air space. If the use of an airspace would improve the R-value of their products (rigid board, fiberglass or cellulose) they would recommend incorporating an airspace. But an airspace doesn't help their products! I am not condoning false advertising, but as a building scientist I don't care. I know what I want and I want my projects to be fast and effective and affordable.

Although Prodex Total is not a foil-faced bubble wrap, we will answer the author's question because foil-faced bubble wrap is a reflective insulation that deserves a defense. The R-value of foil-faced bubble wrap is so low that it has few, if any, advantages over rigid foam. Of course, the product’s foil facing can be used as a radiant barrier — but if you want a radiant barrier, cheaper products are available. (The bubble wrap layer is unnecessary, since it adds cost to the material without adding any useful thermal performance.) Exaggerated R-value claimsAs far as I am concerned none of the comments that occurred here after your silence on the matter [May --> July] are relevant to the real-world building science that makes the premise of this article and lots of the comments FLAWED. I can poke myriad holes in your arguments and we are talking about the wrong things in the first place. Please readers compel this writer to do the right thing - Remove the names of "Insulation4Less.com" and "Prodex" from his article. Once you have finished your install, make sure to tape up any joints, tears or edges using SuperFOIL superior tape. By ensuring all of these areas are sealed, you are creating an airtight finish that helps to give you maximum performance from your insulation, as well as eliminating any draughts. Tip Number 5 – Finish Since the main benefit from foil-faced bubble wrap is due to its radiant-barrier facing, the product is basically worthless unless it faces an air space. A decade ago, when I was the editor of Energy Design Update, I noticed that many manufacturers of foil-faced bubble wrap were promoting their products for use under concrete slabs on grade. In this application, the shiny foil is clearly not facing an air space, so the exaggerated R-value claims made by bubble-wrap manufacturers were particularly outrageous. My article exposing the bubble-wrap scammers appeared in the September 2003 issue of EDU.

Our range of multifoil insulation works by reflecting heat and trapping air between the individual insulation layers, preventing heat loss. By doing this, multifoil insulation allows for a much higher thermal performance using less insulation. As well as that, due to aluminium foils reflective properties, multifoil acts as a radiant barrier. Thanks to this quality, multifoil insulation keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 3 Things You Need to Think About Before Choosing Your Foil Insulation I don't get upset when a company is trying to sell their product and takes some license to do it. We see exaggerations and mis-information every day in our lives and accept it (think of anything anyone of Capitol Hill says). A much larger problem is when entities publish equally bogus information, but their political agenda is harder to discern. You don't know which way to filter the story until you know which way it was slanted. Worse is when they try to give credibility to their mis-information by shrouding it in pseudo-science. Many large companies use government (and government like) entities in this manner, and that propaganda is difficult to navigate. The examples are too numerous to comment on, but they're far more damaging than what these bubble wrap guys are doing. Q. "You wrote your article on March 24, 2104. You just decided today (July 24, 2015) to inform the FTC of what you claim are infractions. Reader isn’t it obvious - He's doesn’t like that he's been called out. He makes no effort to inform the FTC for over a year of what he claims is such blatant and unfair practices." This is an interesting footnote to the field of radiant barrier controversies. Evidently the Rudd government in Australia was offering incentives to encourage the installation of residential insulation. Evidently some radiant barrier manufacturers or distributors convinced a government official that radiant barriers are a type of insulation, and should therefore be eligible for the government insulation subsidies, just like fiberglass.

You know that reflective insulation is measured as a system. You also know we can post the R-value of the system as long as we link the R-value to the parameters of the measurement. Yet you slander and harm us with your "Bad Apple" reference. You deceive consumers that assume you're impartial, fair and correct - None of which is true.

To create a false floor, your first option is to install a thin layer of insulation board across your shed floor and cover it with plywoodor MDFboards. An alternative option is to cover your shed floor with an insulation sheet, which can offer water-resistant benefits. This can either be topped with plywoodboards or a carpet. When considering whether to opt for underfloor insulation or a false floor, it is worth considering that you will lose height within your shed by adding a false floor.

I'm not familiar with methods for insulating yurts. I do know that traditional Mongolian yurts (or gers) are insulated with felt.
