SuperFOIL SF6 Multifoil Insulation – Slim 3-in-1 Internal Insulation SuperFOIL SF6 is a slim, multi-functional insulation designed for internal applications where space, simplicity, and efficiency matter. With a thickness of just 30 mm, SF6 combines thermal insulation, a radiant barrier, and a vapour control layer (VCL) in one lightweight, easy-to-install system. It is ideal for roofs, walls, and floors in new builds, retrofits, extensions, and DIY projects, including specialist applications such as lofts, room-in-roof conversions, caravans, campervans, and boats. This is a vapour-closed multifoil insulation with an integrated vapour control layer (VCL), designed for internal applications where airtightness and condensation control are required. Comparable performance ratios for SuperFOIL insulation products vary according to product thickness and construction build-up. For thinner systems, such as SF6, equivalent thermal performance must be assessed using the official SuperFOIL U-Value Calculator for the specific application. As a reference within the SuperFOIL range, internal comparative assessments indicate that 65 mm of SuperFOIL SF40 can achieve thermal performance comparable to up to 450 mm of traditional mineral wool insulation (λ = 0.040 W/mK), depending on installation method, air gaps, and overall system design. These values are provided for indicative comparison purposes only. Final thermal performance must always be verified using the official SuperFOIL U-Value calculation for the specific construction build-up, supported by the certified R-Values of each product. Product Dimensions & Coverage Thickness: 30 mm Length: 10 m Width: 1.2 m Coverage: 12 m² per roll Weight: approx. 5.5 kg 3-in-1 Multifunctional Design SuperFOIL SF6 combines three essential functions in one product: Thermal insulation to reduce heat loss Radiant barrier to reflect heat back into the building in winter and reduce solar heat gain in summer Integrated vapour control layer (VCL) eliminating the need for a separate vapour barrier This design simplifies construction, reduces material layers, and enables efficient thermal performance within a very slim build-up. Thermal Performance SF6 works across all three modes of heat transfer — conduction, convection, and radiation — unlike traditional insulation materials that primarily address conduction. Certified thermal performance (core value + air spaces, EN 16012): Core R-Value: 0.99 m²K/W Roof (incl. air spaces): 1.90 m²K/W Wall (incl. air spaces): 2.32 m²K/W Floor (incl. air spaces): 3.65 m²K/W Emittance: 0.05 Thanks to its reflective foil layers and integrated air spaces, SF6 delivers effective thermal performance in applications where thicker traditional insulation is not practical. What does R-Value mean? R-Value (m²K/W) measures a material’s resistance to heat flow.The higher the R-Value, the better the insulation performance. What does Emittance mean? Emittance measures how much heat a surface emits (radiates). A low emittance value (typically around 0.05) means very low heat emission and high reflection of radiant heat, improving overall thermal performance when installed with adjacent air spaces. This interpretation is aligned with EN 16012 and reflects how reflective multifoil insulation performance is evaluated across EU technical documentation. Performance vs Traditional Insulation Due to its reflective multi-layer construction, SuperFOIL SF6 can achieve U-values typically associated with much thicker conventional insulation systems, depending on the overall build-up and air space configuration. This makes SF6 an ideal solution where space is limited, allowing designers and installers to improve thermal performance without significantly increasing wall, roof, or floor thickness. Exact U-values depend on the complete construction. Bespoke U-value calculations are available.
