Lion Insulation Roof Blanket

Roof Insulation

Lion Insulation Roof Blanket is a high-performance glasswool and foil laminate designed to deliver year-round thermal and acoustic protection for metal and tiled roofs. Each roll combines a resilient glasswool blanket with a heavy-duty reflective foil facing, creating a continuous barrier that slows heat flow, reduces condensation and softens rain or hail noise.

Installed between the roof cladding and purlins or battens, the blanket improves indoor comfort by keeping summer heat out and winter warmth in. The foil layer acts as an effective vapour barrier and radiant heat reflector, while the glasswool core traps air to provide excellent R-value without adding excessive roof weight.

Key Advantages

Slows conductive, convective and radiant heat transfer for lower energy bills
Foil facing controls condensation and protects roof sheets from corrosion
Non-combustible glasswool core meets AS/NZS 1530.1 fire safety requirements
Soft-feel, low-itch formulation for easier handling on site
Reduces rain impact noise on metal roofing by up to 6 dB
Supplied in pre-cut rolls for fast lay-out and minimal cutting waste

Product Range

Thickness	Nominal R-value*	Roll length	Roll width	Coverage per roll
55 mm	R 1.3	15 m	1.20 m	18 m²
75 mm	R 1.8	10 m	1.20 m	12 m²
100 mm	R 2.2	8 m	1.20 m	9.6 m²

*R-values tested to AS/NZS 4859.1.

Typical Applications

Under new metal or tiled roofs in residential and light commercial builds
Retro-fit upgrades during re-roofing for improved thermal performance
Acoustic dampening for sheds, warehouses and school halls
Condensation control in humid or coastal environments

Installation Overview

Unroll Lion Insulation Roof Blanket foil-side down across the battens or purlins, lapping foil joints by at least 50 mm. Tape longitudinal seams with reinforced foil tape. Fix roof sheets as usual, compressing the blanket to ensure a close fit around screw penetrations and at ridge or hip lines. For tiled roofs, secure the blanket with galvanised mesh or strapping before tiling.

Performance you can trust

Lion Insulation Roof Blanket is manufactured with recycled glass and solvent-free binders, meeting National Construction Code requirements for energy efficiency and indoor air quality (low formaldehyde). The reflective foil is reinforced with fibreglass scrim for tear resistance during installation and complies with the latest bushfire ember-attack provisions when installed to manufacturer guidelines.
