Foilboard HIA Editorial – Walls feature
Foilboard® Insulation Panel relies on cutting-edge rigid panel insulation design in combination with reflective air spaces to increase a building’s energy efficiency. With Foilboard a builder or home owner has the capacity to create a home or commercial building which goes above and beyond the energy efficiency requirements recommended by the Building Code of Australia. The unique insulation properties of the reflective foil insulation panels create an incredibly effective thermal barrier to keep home owners cool in summer, and warm in winter. Foilboard’s patented technology means it is completely weatherproof and will not de-laminate under extremes of weather or temperature. It is impervious to moisture, which means once Foilboard is installed to the outside of a building frame, construction can continue within the walls of the building, completely protected from the elements. Foilboard’s lightweight slimline design allows it to be easily installed to the outer face of timber and steel frames of cladded walls and brick veneer structures, and is the perfect solution for any cavity brick wall application as the Foilboard® Insulation Panel sits within the cavity between the two skins of the wall, vastly improving the thermal efficiency of the construction. Foilboard® insulation is the ideal solution for concrete walls which are commonly used in the construction of multi-residential precincts, commercial projects and apartment high rises through it’s use of rigid panel insulation design and reflective air spaces and can easily be adapted to create dual reflective air spaces in concrete walls to further increase performance. This adaptability makes Foilboard® Insulation Panel the leading insulation product for buildings with concrete walls.
