YBS | YBS Multifoil Insulation

YBS insulation offers a range of innovative multifoil insulation products designed for various applications in both residential and commercial settings. These products are known for their high-quality materials and effective insulation capabilities. In this category, we primarily focus on two of their flagship products: the YBS Superquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll and the YBS Breatherquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll.

What is YBS Multifoil Insulation?

YBS Multifoil Insulation is a high-performance, multilayer reflective insulation designed to provide exceptional thermal resistance while saving space. Manufactured in the UK, YBS insulation products such as SuperQuilt and BreatherQuilt combine multiple layers of reflective foil and wadding to effectively reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency in domestic and commercial buildings.

YBS Superquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll

The YBS Superquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll is a versatile and highly effective solution for insulating roofs, walls, and floors. Available in various sizes to meet different requirements, this product is characterised by its multi-layered composition, which includes a combination of reflective foil and thermal insulation materials. It is designed to provide exceptional thermal performance, making it an ideal choice for both new construction and retrofit applications. Its lightweight and flexible nature allows for easy installation, even in tight or awkward spaces.

YBS Breatherquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll

The YBS Breatherquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll is another innovative product, specifically designed to offer both insulation and breathability. This 40mm thick roll, measuring 1.2m x 10m, is perfect for applications where moisture control and thermal insulation are both priorities. Its layered structure not only provides excellent thermal resistance but also allows buildings to breathe, reducing the risk of condensation. This makes it especially suitable for insulating roofs.

Selection Guidance

When choosing the right YBS insulation product for your project, consider the following factors:

• Application Area: Determine if you are insulating a roof, wall, or floor. The Superquilt is more versatile, while the Breatherquilt is specifically tailored for roofs.
• Moisture Concerns: If moisture management is a key concern, especially in roofing applications, the Breatherquilt is the recommended choice.
• Space Constraints: For tight spaces, the flexible and thin nature of the Superquilt can be advantageous.
• Thermal Requirements: Assess the thermal insulation requirements of your project. Both products offer excellent thermal resistance, but their specific performances may vary based on installation and application.

By considering these aspects, you can effectively choose the appropriate YBS insulation product for your insulation needs.

Benefits of YBS Insulation

• Space-Saving Design: Delivers high thermal performance in a slim profile, ideal for tight spaces like lofts and wall cavities.
• Energy Efficient: Reflective layers help retain heat in winter and repel it in summer, reducing energy bills.
• Moisture Control: Products like BreatherQuilt include breathable membranes to prevent condensation.
• Lightweight & Flexible: Easy to handle, cut, and install without specialist tools.
• UK Building Regulation Compliant: Meets key industry standards, including BBA certification.
• Durable & Maintenance-Free: Long-lasting performance without sagging or degradation over time.

Applications of YBS Multifoil Insulation

YBS insulation is versatile and suitable for:

• Roof insulation – both pitched and flat roofs
• Wall insulation – solid, cavity, or timber frame walls
• Floor insulation – under suspended timber or concrete floors
• Loft conversions – ideal for tight rafter spaces
• New builds & renovations – meet performance standards in various projects

Installation Tips

• Measure twice, cut once: Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut insulation to size.
• Overlap and seal: Ensure overlaps between layers and use foil tape to seal joints for maximum thermal efficiency.
• Staple or fix: Attach directly to rafters, joists, or wall studs with staples or battens.
• Use BreatherQuilt externally: Always place the breathable layer facing outwards to allow vapour to escape.
• Combine with other insulation: Can be used in hybrid systems with PIR boards or mineral wool for enhanced performance.
