Multi layer insulation mli is thermal insulation composed of multiple layers of thin sheets and is often used on spacecraft and cryogenics it is one of the main items of the spacecraft thermal design primarily intended to reduce heat loss by thermal radiation in its basic form it does not appreciably insulate against other thermal losses such as heat conduction or convection. We can often find this value attributed to multifoil insulation. Insulate internally with just one product which also includes vapour control such as hcontrol hybrid with 38mm batten either side to reach a u value of 0 30 w m2k. Most brands of insulation have a u value displayed on their products as a matter of pride.

The u value is a simple measure of how easily heat is able to pass through a material. Typical fibreglass insulation for example requires 270mm of insulation to get to a u value of 0 16. The u value measures the efficiency of a wall floor or roof more precisely how different parts of a building are transferring heat. Additionally some multifoil insulation products have been combined with other features meaning that one product can be used for several functions.

Lower u values mean better thermal performance. Our multifoil insulation range can be used in both new build or retrofit projects whether timber framed or solid wall constructions. The higher the number of the r value the better it will perform.
