There are two types of foam-in-place insulation: closed-cell and open-cell. Both are typically made with polyurethane. With closed-cell foam, the high-density cells are closed and filled with a gas that helps the foam expand to fill the spaces around it. Open-cell foam cells are not as dense and are filled with air, which gives the insulation a spongy texture. This kit features a roll of Class 1/Class A fire-rated foil insulation, foil tape, and the spacers (small chunks of foam used to make a consistent circumference around the tank) necessary for a good fit. The roll of insulation measures 48 inches tall by 76 inches long, covering most smaller water heater tanks with ease. And because it’s fiberglass-free, installers can work without masks or long sleeves.

Use 38x38mm cross battens to secure it. Other Projects, and DIY

Pitched roof insulation can be installed either on the sloping roof, between and over rafters, or at ceiling level between or over ceiling joists.

Multifoil insulation is made using multiple layers of aluminium foil alternated with foam wadding. If this is the case, you can ‘top up’ your existing roof insulation relatively simply. This can save you time and money but still provide optimal insulation solutions.
