Scrim Foil

The product reflects heat away from buildings in warmer months and retains heat in cooler months, thus stabilizing temperatures. It can be used in walls, behind cladding, or under timber floors. Combining the product with glass wool, rock wool, or foam insulation, it becomes an excellent vapour barrier for airconditioning ducts, pipes, and vessels. The combination and composition of the product layers can be modified to suit specific customer needs for different applications.

Thermal Resistance

R-value measures the thermal resistance of heat transfer through the product. The higher the R-value, the less heat is transferred through the product and therefore exhibits greater insulation properties. This value is measured as a reciprocal of the rate of heat transfer in watts, through one square meter of structure, divided by the difference in temperature across the structure. It is expressed in watts per square meter Kelvin. A roofing system with Scrim Facing Insulation has an:

  • R-value of between 1.45 and 1.6 (tested using standard ISO6946)

Storage Conditions

  • Only remove the packaging shortly before the product is going to be applied.
  • Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended periods of time before it is applied.
  • Do not wet the product before application.
  • Storage at relative humidity at temperatures between 18 to 25°C.
  • Store upright with a shelf life of one year.

Domestic Grade Scrim Foil

Usually installed in roofing systems with tiles, tiling battens, roof rafters, and an apex ridge.

  • The product lies beneath the tiling battens, secured by the rafters where the tiles or tin cover the tiling battens.
  • The product should be laid horizontally in the same direction as tiling battens with a minimum of 150mm overlap on the layers. The product should be laid from the bottom of the roof towards the apex for better waterproofing.
  • It is important that the product is pulled tight across the roofing system to improve dust control, water run-off, and insulation properties.
  • The product can either be secured using nails, staples, or double-sided tape. It is important that the product is properly secured to avoid creases, gaps, or tears. Please ensure that no damaged material is installed as this will affect the performance of the product.
  • Please ensure the product is secured firmly with an extra overlap at the apex and gutters of the roof. This will significantly reduce the chances of tears or delamination.
  • The Scrim Facing Insulation can be repaired using Aluminium foil tape or Foil Scrim Kraft tape.

Industrial Grade Scrim Foil

Used in the roofing system of factories and warehouses involving steel roof structures, PVC straining wires, and steel battens.

  • The PVC straining wires should run above steel battens where the Scrim Facing Insulation is secured to
    the PVC straining wires.
  • The product should be laid vertically in the same direction as the straining wires with a 150mm overlap. It is recommended that the straining wires are spaced at 350mm intervals with the first straining wire secured at 75mm from the gable end.
  • It is important that the product is laid tight against PVC straining wires and is secured using nails, staples or double-sided tape. Please allow for extra overlap at the bottom and apex of the roof.
  • For industrial applications, it is advised that this product is installed by a licensed contractor to improve the effectiveness of the product regarding fire, waterproofing, dust, and thermal insulation.
