Foilboard GREEN is a rigid insulation panel that is installed within the building envelope to ensure the building stays cooler in summer and warmer in the winter. Foilboard is manufactured by laminating pure aluminum to both sides of a FR-EPS Core. One side is coated with a specially formulated ink to create an anti-glare finish.

Foilboard GREEN uses its aluminum surfaces to reflect both external and internal radiant heat. This means that in summer the heat on the outer side of Foilboard is reflected out of the building, whilst in winter the internal generated heat is reflected back into the building.

Foilboard is able to achieve this by creating a thermal-break with low thermal conductivity – it slows / reduces the transfer of heat, slowing the flow of energy between the two different sides of the panel.

A Foilboard insulation system is also aided by using the reflective airspaces adjacent to the Foilboard surfaces, transforming the still air next to Foilboard into an effective thermal resistance component. These reflective airspaces can dramatically increase the R-value of the insulation system.

The Foilboard GREEN panel is designed as a pure aluminum faced product, one side is coated in a green anti-glare layer for use in applications where the sun may create a glare issue on the construction site. Both sides provide similar reflectivity benefits, with the antiglare green reflecting up to 94% of radiant heat and the silver reflecting up to 97% of radiant heat.

Foilboard can be used almost anywhere from walls, floors or ceilings within any residential and commercial project, it is even widely used to insulate sheds and factories.

There are endless possibilities to where Foilboard can be used to insulate.

Yes, Foilboard sheets can be painted. If you decide to paint Foilboard, here are some general recommendations:

• Which side to paint: Paint the green anti-glare side, as the ink on this surface may assist with paint adhesion.

• Joining sheets: If joining sheets, use aluminium joining tape. Standard joining tape may not hold paint effectively.

• Primer: Apply a water-based etch primer as the first coat, ensuring it covers any exposed aluminium.

• Topcoat: Use two coats of water-based topcoat paint for the final finish.

• Application method: Use a long-haired roller to help conceal creases in the surface from the manufacturing process and achieve a more even finish.

Please note: We cannot warrant any painting of Foilboard sheets due to the potential impact of external variables on the paint’s durability and adhesion.

Foilboard is a high-performance, rigid panel insulation system designed to deliver exceptional thermal performance across a wide range of building applications. It effectively combats all three forms of heat transfer, radiation, conduction, and convection. With the ability to reflect up to 97% of radiant heat, Foilboard helps maintain stable indoor temperatures throughout the year. Its continuous insulation layer eliminates thermal bridging, ensuring energy efficiency across walls, floors, roofs, and more.

Lightweight, easy to handle, and moisture-resistant, Foilboard is quick to install and engineered to retain its integrity for the lifetime of the building, without sagging, shrinking, or deteriorating over time.

Yes! Foilboard GREEN is designed to work in all climate zones. Its reflective properties help keep homes cooler in summer by reflecting heat away, while in winter, it helps retain warmth inside the building. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for Australian homes and commercial buildings.

By reducing thermal bridging and reflecting radiant heat, Foilboard GREEN helps maintain stable indoor temperatures, reducing the reliance on heating and cooling systems. This leads to lower energy bills for homeowners and businesses, reduced carbon footprint due to less energy consumption and improved comfort levels by preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.

Yes, Foilboard GREEN Insulation complies with Australian building codes and is manufactured to meet relevant energy efficiency standards. It supports BASIX (Building Sustainability Index) compliance by improving the thermal performance of buildings. Final compliance depends on the overall building design, so it’s important to ensure all elements, including insulation meet current regulatory requirements.
