YBS BreatherFoil- FR - Breather Foil For Timber Frame - 1.35m x 25M (33.75 Sqm)

YBS BreatherFoil-FR is a breathable venting membrane, ideal for breather membrane  the cutting-edge solution for insulating timber frame constructions. Engineered by YBS, a leading name in insulation technology, BreatherFoil-FR combines the superior thermal performance of traditional breather membranes with the innovative features of modern foil insulation.

Designed specifically for timber frame and modular buildings, YBS BreatherFoil-FR offers maximum flexibility when detailing, ensuring seamless integration into any construction project. Unlike thicker timber frames or higher-priced alternatives, this advanced breather membrane by YBS Insulation delivers exceptional thermal performance without added expense, making it an economical choice for builders and homeowners alike.

YBS breather foil is 4mm thick and is made of 2 layers. At its core is a bubble structure, formed with LDPE contating an FR additive. Each air pocket offers high thermal performance and reduces the risk of cold bridging. The external layer contains highly reflective aluminium foil whose surface is coated with a protective lacquer preventing corrosion and loss of performance. 

Key Features:

• Advanced Insulation: Combines the benefits of traditional breather membranes with modern foil insulation to provide superior thermal performance.

• Cost-Effective: Offers insulation without the expense of thicker timber frames or higher-priced alternatives, making it a budget-friendly choice for builders and homeowners. At only 4mm thick, this breather membrane replaces the need for a traditional breather membrane while insulating and without increasing the depth.

• Breathable Design: Allows for optimal ventilation while effectively insulating against heat loss, promoting a comfortable indoor environment and reducing energy costs. It helps with better moisture management. Furthermore, 

• Modular Construction: Designed for timber frame and modular buildings, providing maximum flexibility when detailing and facilitating quick and easy installation.

• Improved Energy Efficiency: Enhances the thermal performance of buildings, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems and lowering utility expenses. Its air rated bubble core helps with significant reduction in thermal bridging. 

• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of construction projects, from residential homes to commercial buildings, offering maximum flexibility in insulation solutions.

• Installation: YBS breatherfoil FR is lightweight and super asy to install. Made of foil, it elimates the need of PPE during installtion as no harmful fibers are released. We recommend BreatherFoil to be overlapped by 75mm and the horizontal overlaps should remain untapped, to allow any moisture to dissipate. Use thermaseal jointing tape for installation.
