If you are looking for a specific U-Value see our free online U-Value Calculator to see how BreatherQuilt can benefit your project.

YBS Breatherquilt is made of 11 layers of wadding and highly reflective fully perforated foil it also has an outer waterproof and breathable membrane.

It’s also LABC and BDA approved for Building Control.

BreatherQuilt should be hung loosely from the rafters horizontally before the tile battens. If you’re planning to install BreatherQuilt taught across the battens a counter batten should be installed before the tile batten. It’s also supplied in easy-to-handle rolls that are 1.2m by 10m.

BreatherQuilt is a multilayer breathable insulation that is incredibly flexible, achieves a high level of thermal resistance, and it’s easy to install. In addition to its 11 layers of wadding and aluminium foil, it has a breathable membrane outer layer. This combines 2 products in 1 as you won’t need to install a seperate breathable membrane which saves money, time, and roof height space.

  • Improved thermal efficiency
  • Designed to provide better-reflecting qualities
  • Thinner for installation to save room
  • More affordable
  • British manufactured to support industry
