PHOTONFOIL-A1
Advanced Multi Foil Insulation Solutions
PhotonFoil-A1 is an innovative, LABC Registered multi foil insulation specifically designed for a variety of applications, including loft conversions, timber frame walls, and re-roofing projects. This versatile insulation solution is engineered to meet the highest standards of performance and safety, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial buildings.
A1 Non-Combustible by Design
PhotonFoil-A1 carries an A1 non-combustible classification to BS EN13501-1 , placing it in the same fire performance category as stone wool, glass wool, concrete and brick. This ensures full compliance with the most demanding fire safety requirements and provides confidence for designers, builders and building control alike.
Superior Construction and Performance
Constructed as an excellent vapour and air leakage barrier, PhotonFoil-A1 features a high-density glass wool core that is encased in woven glass and aluminium low emissivity outer layers. This unique construction not only contributes to the material’s thermal performance but also enhances its durability and longevity. PhotonFoil-A1 has been rigorously certified as A1 non-combustible in accordance with BS EN13501-1 by BRE Global Ltd, with Report Number Q100799-1003, ensuring that it adheres to the highest safety standards.
Benefits Over Traditional Insulation
The use of high-density glass wool at its core provides PhotonFoil-A1 with several significant advantages compared to traditional polyester-based multi foil insulation:
- A1 Non-Combustible Rating: Ensures safety and compliance with fire regulations.
- 50mm Flaps on All Sides: This design feature avoids the need for double thickness under battens, simplifying installation and improving efficiency.
- Ease of Handling: PhotonFoil-A1 is easier to cut and can be secured with screws without snagging, which streamlines the installation process and reduces labour time.
- Enhanced Thermal Performance: The material boasts better λ90/90 thermal performance, ensuring optimal insulation and energy efficiency.
PhotonFoil-A1 has been independently tested and certified to the latest European Standards by accredited European test houses and has achieved LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Registered Details.
