Sisalation Insulation

Sisalation Insulation – How does it work?

While bulk insulation works by slowing the heat transfer through the insulating material, foil insulation like Sisalation use their reflective surface to stop radiant heat. Contrary to what you might expect, insulation foil doesn’t need to face its reflective foil surface outwards ‘towards the sun’ in order to work, and in fact (for safety/anti-glare reasons), it is much more commonly installed with the reflective surface facing into the house. When used in combination with bulk thermal insulation, Sisalation foil insulation is very effective both in increasing the thermal efficiency of the building, as a windbreak, and also can serve as a reassuring guarantee that the thermal wall batts won’t come into contact with the brickwork. Without an air-gap of about 2cm, foil insulation won’t work as it should, and with no air-gap, the product is basically ineffective as an insulator.
