Foil Blanket
Foil Blanket
Application
Foil Blanket provides a cost-effective thermal and acoustic barrier for energy-efficient construction. The consistent quality, low dust, and clean-cutting resilient glass wool makes fabrication easy and installation fast. Foil Blanket can be used in timber and metal frame applications in residential structures. These applications include thermal and acoustic treatments of metal roofs.
Foil Blanket provides high thermal performance and comfort – cool in summer and warm in winter. They are highly resilient, recovering quickly to full thickness.
Proven Performance
Preferred by professional installers concerned with quality, appearance and productivity.
> Excellent acoustical properties reduce sound transmission in the home when properly installed in walls, ceiling and floor systems.
Durability
> Foil Blanket is odourless, rot proof, non-hygroscopic, do not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria.
Superior Handling
> Highly resilient insulation recovers quickly to full thickness for a snug fit and superior finished aesthetics.
> Consistent quality materials feel good, cut easily and install fast.
> Low dust for easier handling and increased productivity.
Convenient Packaging, Easier Handling
> Foil Blanket is packaged in a strong poly bag that offers excellent protection from abuse, dust and moisture.
Foil Blanket packages feature easy to follow installation instructions.

Bio-solubility
The formulation used for Earthwool insulation has been independently assessed to meet the requirements of the stringent Note Q standard (and is therefore consistent with the highest Australian and New Zealand industry standards), and also assessed by Knauf Insulation against the criteria of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council ASCC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC: 1008 3rd Edition]. As a result of this assessment, Earthwool insulation is not classified as hazardous according to the NOHSC criteria.
