Faced Polyethylene Roll

We’re proud to offer premium polyethylene faced roll insulation, a versatile and efficient solution for your commercial and industrial projects. At FM Insulation, we leverage our 30+ years of experience to supply high-quality-faced polyethylene roll insulation for optimal thermal performance and moisture control, ensuring energy efficiency and flexibility for your diverse insulation needs.

What is polyethylene faced roll insulation?

Polyethylene-faced roll insulation is a flexible, closed-cell foam sheet with a highly reflective aluminium foil facing on one side. This versatile insulation product combines the excellent thermal properties of closed-cell polyethylene foam with the enhanced performance of a reflective outer layer. The result is a lightweight, highly effective sheet insulation that offers superior moisture resistance and thermal efficiency for a wide range of applications.

At FM Insulation, we’ve been supplying faced polyethylene roll insulation products for nearly 20  years, witnessing firsthand its evolution and increasing popularity. Known for its excellent moisture resistance and versatility, this insulation offers superior thermal performance and adaptability, making it ideal for both commercial and industrial applications.

Why choose faced polyethylene roll insulation?

Faced polyethylene roll insulation stands out for its exceptional versatility and thermal efficiency, making it an ideal choice for various surface insulation applications. With our extensive product knowledge, we can help you select the right faced polyethylene roll solution to meet your project’s specific requirements, whether it’s for ductwork, under-slab insulation, or custom applications.

Energy efficiency with faced polyethylene rolls

Our experience has shown that faced polyethylene roll insulation is particularly effective in providing both conductive and radiant heat protection across large or irregular surfaces, significantly reducing heat transfer in both hot and cold applications. This makes it an excellent choice for projects where thermal efficiency and adaptability are key priorities.

Key features and benefits of polyethylene faced roll insulation

At FM Insulation, we stock a wide range of insulation products, allowing us to provide unbiased comparisons. Our extensive experience has shown that faced polyethylene roll insulation offers several key benefits and advantages for diverse insulation requirements:

Versatile application:

Available in roll form, it can be easily cut and shaped to insulate surfaces of various sizes and configurations, making it adaptable for multiple project types.

Excellent thermal performance:

The combination of closed-cell foam and reflective foil effectively reduces heat transfer in both hot and cold applications, improving overall energy efficiency.

Superior moisture resistance:

The closed-cell structure and facing create an effective vapour barrier, preventing condensation on cold surfaces and protecting against moisture damage.

Lightweight and flexible:

Easy to handle, transport, and install, even in confined spaces or around irregular surfaces, reducing labour time and increasing efficiency.

Space-efficient:

Provides excellent thermal performance with minimal thickness, maximising usable space in applications where clearance is limited.

Durable and long-lasting:

Maintains its properties over time, ensuring consistent performance throughout its service life with minimal degradation.

Reflective barrier:

The facing provides an additional radiant heat barrier, enhancing the overall thermal performance of the insulation system.

Noise reduction:

The closed-cell structure helps absorb and dampen sound, providing additional acoustic benefits in many applications.

With these benefits and advantages, foil faced roll insulation proves to be a versatile and high-performing solution for a wide range of applications. Our team at FM Insulation can help you determine if faced polyethylene roll insulation is the right choice for your specific insulation needs.

Our standard rolls are available in widths of 1m with lengths of 10m, 15m,  20m and 50m. Thickness options range from 5mm to 40mm  to accommodate different insulation requirements. For specialised projects, we may be able to source custom sizes upon request. Please contact our team for the most up-to-date information on available sizes and to discuss which options best suit your application.

Installation guidelines

While polyethylene foil faced roll insulation is known for its ease of installation, proper techniques ensure optimal performance:

1. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from sharp protrusions before installation.
2. Cut the insulation to size using a sharp knife or scissors, allowing slight overlap at joints.
3. For adhesive applications, use appropriate contact adhesive applied to both surfaces.
4. Seal all joints and seams with aluminium foil tape to maintain vapour barrier integrity.
5. When wrapping pipes or circular vessels, secure edges with tape and ensure overlaps are properly sealed.
6. For multi-layer applications, stagger joints to maximise insulation effectiveness.
