Manufactured in the UK, Apollo Insulation’s foils are advanced, highly reflective low emissivity foils that will enhance thermal performance and improve U-values of structures.
Traditional insulation works by slowing down convection and conduction. However, radiant heat loss is a major factor in a buildings’ thermal efficiency accounting for up to 80% of heat lost through walls. The more radiant energy is reflected the less heat is transferred – our foil membranes reflect more than 96% of radiated heat.
Eco-Brite and Thermo-Foil ES both hold BBA Certification and Fire Certification to BS476 Part 6 and 7. Our tough yet flexible foil can be installed in roofs, walls and floors and effectively blocks over 96% of radiant energy, sealing the building and providing a more controllable and comfortable interior temperature. Every roll can save over 1400kg of CO2 emissions every year reducing a building’s energy requirement and help cutting its carbon footprint.
Our foils can be used in a range of structures from timber frame homes to modular buildings. Conveniently installed, the associated air space that is created in front or behind the membrane can also be used to run electrical or other services. The product is used in conjunction with our heat reflecting adhesive tape which seals the edges of adjoining sheets and adjacent structures ensuring an air-tight envelope that will pass mandatory pressure testing.
With low moisture transmission rates, Eco-Brite and Thermo-Foil ES also acts as excellent vapour barrier, halting moisture migration into the fibre insulation layers. The systems ensure the insulation keeps dry and maintain its performance.
Solutions for Ductwork
Insulating ductwork to help conserve energy has long been an important aspect of energy-efficient-building services design. Our ducting products, EncaSeal and EncaClad with their highly reflective aluminium surface, will seal existing insulation; ensuring air leakage is kept to a minimum.
Both products will block at least 96% of infrared energy that would otherwise be absorbed by the soft insulation. The extremely strong adhesive on the other side insures that once fitted it will stiffen the whole structure, ensuring existing and replaced foam or quilt insulation is sealed, kept dry and its performance maintained. There is no need to fit retaining wire-mesh around the duct work or have any other protection for the insulation. All our products have a low moisture transmission rate providing an excellent vapour and dust barrier.
