space blanket loft insulation

[busytorty]

Hi please help as I'm getting conflicting information. I bought some knauf 200mm space blanket insulation, silver on one side orange on the other. There are no instructions with it. I'm going to be laying this over my existing insulation.

I've asked friends and family and some say silver up and some say silver side facing down. Please help as I just want to get it laid before it gets too cold.

Many thanks

Which ever way you unroll it from opening the pack will give you your answer. If you get my gist?

Normally you would have the foil for an insulation board on the warm side but I think this stuff, once you unroll it from the pack onto the floor (ceiling) it ends up with the foil side up. At the end of the day it won't make any difference.

Thanks for the reply and the link, my kindle didn't support the player for the video but I'll have a look later on the laptop. You say it doesn't matter really which way up sorry to be a pain but could you explain why ?

Because its an itsybitsy layer of foil, it has no insulation values, its there to look nice.
