TLX Silver

Multifoil Vapour Barrier — The UK's Leading Multifoil Insulation

THE UK’S TRUSTED MULTIFOIL INSULATION

TLX Silver is the UK’s leading multifoil insulation product, used in thousands of properties nationwide. Whether for new builds, loft conversions, extensions, or barn conversions, TLX Silver is the preferred choice.

TLX multifoil insulation has undergone independent testing by fully accredited laboratories, meeting the latest British and European standards. It was the first foil insulation to receive the prestigious BBA Certificate of Agrément.

Thermal Insulation

TLX Silver is a radiant barrier. The reflective surfaces on the outside and inner layers are very effective at both reflecting infra-red radiation back into the house, and also in preventing the house from radiating energy out into the environment. The wadding layers inside TLX Silver prevent conduction through the material by trapping air between the fibres. TLX Silver reduces heat loss via all three means — radiation, conduction and convection.

Vapour Control

TLX Silver is a vapour barrier. When installed on the warm side of a roof or wall structure it prevents water vapour penetrating where it might find a cold surface on which to condense.

Airtightness

TLX Silver is airtight, and by wrapping around a roof or wall, including junctions, it makes the whole building envelope more airtight.

Thermal Bridging

TLX Silver fits across timber members such as rafters or wall studs, acting as a thermal brake to limit heat flow through the timber.

U-Values

Part L1B 2010 requires a renovated roof to have a U-value of 0.18 W/m².K. All TLX Silver U-value calculations are carried out according to BS EN ISO 6946.

Condensation Risk

TLX Silver is a vapour barrier with very high vapour resistance. When located on the inside of the roof it prevents water vapour from getting into the roof structure, eliminating the risk of interstitial condensation.

Calculated to BS EN ISO 13788, showing no risk of harmful condensation.

Approved Document Part L1B 2010

Each element must be insulated to achieve a level of heat loss, or U-value.

Approved Document C2 — Resistance to Moisture

A roof will resist damage from interstitial condensation if constructed in accordance with BS 5250.

Regulation 7 — Materials and Workmanship

Building work should be carried out with adequate and proper materials, complying with British standards or certified by a UKAS accredited body.
