Low-E EZ- Reflective was designed to make installation quick, simple and more efficient than ever before. The insulations tabs simply lock into place, the self adhesive tape ensures a strong seam and creates a full-scale vapor barrier. This simplified process saves you labor time and most importantly saves you money. E-Z Seal continues to provide a full-scale thermal block, a wind infiltration barrier and an excellent insulator for the life of your building. Low-E E-Z Seal when properly installed will also create its own airspace which makes the choice to use Low-E easier than ever.
Low-E Insulation can be used in all areas of construction. From residential homes, commercial steel, Agriculture buildings, right to the home you live in. Low-E will keep you comfortable while saving energy and, most importantly, saving you money.
Low-E Reflective Insulation (E-Z Seal)
- Very simple to install and most importantly, it's environmentally friendly.
By providing high r-values either stand alone or in conjunction with mass insulations, Low-E can help increase energy savings.

Low-E Insulation is a patented Reflective Foil Insulation with an air infiltration and vapour barrier. It has been manufactured for over 16 years and is sold in over 25 countries around the world, as well as all 50 US States, making Low-E the longest manufactured Reflective Foil Insulation on sale in the UK. To date, we have produced and installed over 500 million sq ft world wide.
With its recycled, non toxic closed cell foam core,Low-E Insulation offers a safer, cleaner, fibre-free, non-asthmatic and non-itchy thermal insulation medium. Ideal for health sensitive applications and in schools, hospitals, factories, office buildings and homes where high thermal performancee and lower lifecycle, running costs are an important part of the design brief.
Low-E has been Re-tested in the UK, to comply with BR443 Part L of Building Regs for Foil Insulation.
From January 1st 2007 all foil insulations sold in the UK have to comply with BR443.
We have also had numerous Fire Tests carried out and have a Class A/ Class 1 Fire Rating (BS 476, ASTM E84)
All of our testing has been carried out by ILAC Accredited Labs (International Laboratories Accreditation Cooperation). UKAS are the British representative for ILAC
Low-E will help you meet lower U-value requirements in smaller spaces. It is extremely quick and easy to install with minimum waste. It will also assist your building in meeting New European air-tightness Tests.
Low-E can be installed along with a secondary insulation to provide you with the standard you require, with minimum waste. Saving you time, space and money.
Low-E was tested by the NPL (National Physical Laboratory) in a Guarded Hot Box to comply with the BR443 and was found to have an R-value of 2.08.
Due to its obvious advantages Low-E Insulation is rapidly becoming the preferred choice of top builders around the world.
Low-E is manufactured using a patented heat lamination process, so there are no glues or adhesives used which can fuel fires or break down over time especially when exposed to hot and cold as often as insulation is.
- Resists all three forms of heat transfer very successfully.
- Low-E is manufactured using 40% recycled polyethylene foam for its core material.
- With a perm rate of 0.008 it is an excellent vapour barrier. Low-E won’t allow moisture to pass down through itself, unlike other reflectives and even if does get wet, it won’t affect the product or performance. So all moisture problems are eliminated.
- Because of its closed cell make-up, condensation will not form in the core of Low-E Insulation.
- The construction of Low-E means it will self seal around any nails or screws that puncture it during installation.
- Low-E is non toxic, there are no fibres to stick in your skin or get in your eyes and there are no carcinogens to inhale.
- Unlike some Insulations on the market Low-E doesn’t off gas over time and negatively effect indoor air quality.
- There is absolutely no safety equipment required to handle or install Low-E.
- It is very light and with 45m2 in a roll it Saves time, space and money.
- Its core design means that Low-E will not sag after installation.
- Low-E has sound deadening qualities similar to mass insulation.
- Low-E resists the growth of mould and fungi. It won’t attract birds or mice to nest.
- Low-E has a CLASS A/ CLASS 1 Fire Rating.
Fixing: Each roll is 10m long by 1.2m in width.
A staple gun and utility knife are the only tools required for framing installation. Standard speed fasteners are generally used in steel construction.
In order to maintain maximum performance, Low-E Insulation should be installed with a minimum of a ¾” airspace on either side.
We also manufacture ‘Low-E Tab’ in 16” and 24” rolls so it can be easily fitted between studs, joist or rafters* where it should be stapled to the inside and taped together where it over laps.
(*this will not provide a continuous vapour barrier)
Low-E can be installed with either side facing out. It should be fixed in place using minimum 14mm staples.
