Services
Underfloor Insulation
Foilboard Underfloor Insulation creates an effective thermal barrier beneath buildings, improving energy efficiency year-round. Our panels install between or under joists in timber or steel frames, maintaining R-values from 2.0 to 3.6 depending on configuration. The lightweight, rigid design ensures lasting performance without sagging or deterioration over time.
Wall Insulation
Our wall insulation solutions provide thermal performance for various construction types including double brick, brick veneer, and cladded walls. Foilboard panels integrate seamlessly into wall cavities or attach directly to frames, achieving R-values between 1.6 and 2.9 while maintaining structural integrity and reducing heat transfer.
Roof Insulation
Foilboard Roof and Ceiling Insulation delivers energy efficiency for cathedral ceilings, skillion roofs, and suspended ceilings. The reflective panels reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, with R-values ranging from 1.5 to 2.4 depending on installation method and climate conditions.
Shed Insulation
Our shed insulation solutions suit both large industrial structures and small storage sheds. Foilboard panels install quickly in wall and roof applications, achieving R-values from 1.5 to 3.4 while protecting stored items from temperature extremes and reducing energy costs for climate-controlled spaces.
Suspended Slab Insulation
Foilboard provides thermal protection for suspended concrete slabs, preventing heat loss through flooring systems. With R-values between 1.6 and 2.9 depending on airspace configuration, our solution maintains indoor comfort while meeting Australian building code requirements for commercial and residential applications.
Questions
How does Foilboard insulation work?
Foilboard uses reflective aluminum surfaces to repel radiant heat while its FR-EPS core provides thermal resistance. This combination creates a thermal break that reduces heat transfer by up to 97% in both directions.
Can Foilboard be used in all building types?
Yes, our insulation panels are suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications including walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs. They're particularly effective in sheds and factories.
Is painting Foilboard recommended?
While possible, we recommend painting only the anti-glare side using water-based paints. Apply etch primer first and use aluminum joining tape for seams to maintain performance integrity.
Does Foilboard meet Australian standards?
Yes, our products comply with AS/NZS 4859 standards and support BASIX requirements. They're fire-retardant, fibre-free, and manufactured to meet NCC compliance specifications.
How does Foilboard perform in different climates?
Our insulation works year-round by reflecting 94-97% of radiant heat. It maintains indoor temperatures in all Australian climate zones, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling systems.
What installation options exist for sheds?
We offer direct fix and compression fit methods for shed walls, plus underside and between-purlin solutions for roofs. Steel fasteners and blank plates ensure secure installation in various shed configurations.
