Life for installers is set to become easier following Web Dynamics' launch of a quick-to-install narrow width foil which fits in between 400mm rafters instead of PUR. The manufacturers claim Thinsulex RafterFit is ideal for loft conversion and refurbishment where the original roof remains and the installer is working with 100mm rafters and 50mm air gap. In addition location wings line up to the edge of the rafter for stapling.
As the enforcement of Part L reaches the roof, Thinsulex manufacturer, Web Dynamics, has warned that insulating with single layer foils will no longer suffice. It's Thinsulex insulation is the first LABC multi-foil certified for Part L, the company claims. Not only is it a compliant multi-foil but it is designed to create more space in the loft and be quick to install.
