What is BreatherQuilt?

BreatherQuilt is a multi-layer reflective insulation, designed specifically for use on pitched roofs. Unlike traditional insulation rolls or boards, it combines thermal performance with built-in breathability. That means it helps keep your home warm in winter, cool in summer – and reduces the risk of condensation within the roof structure.

Why We Use It In Roof Upgrades Oxfordshire

1. Energy Efficiency

BreatherQuilt helps reduce heat loss by reflecting radiant heat back into the home. This can lead to noticeable energy savings over time, making it a smart investment for improving your home’s energy performance.

2. Built-In Breather Membrane

No need for an additional roofing membrane – BreatherQuilt already includes a high-performance breather layer. That saves time during installation and keeps your roof space dry and well-ventilated.

3. Thin Yet Powerful

Its slim profile makes BreatherQuilt perfect for projects where space is limited – especially important in retrofit roof upgrades where maintaining internal headroom is a priority. It offers excellent performance without the bulk of traditional materials.

4. Easy to Install

As experienced roofers, we know time on site matters. BreatherQuilt is lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle, helping us keep projects on schedule without compromising on quality.

5. Certified & Proven

BreatherQuilt is LABC & BBA certified, meaning it meets strict UK building regulations and has been independently tested for performance and safety. It’s also compatible with a wide range of roofing systems – both old and new.

Ideal for Roof Upgrades

Whether you're renovating an older property or upgrading an existing pitched roof, BreatherQuilt offers a modern solution that fits seamlessly into our roofing systems. It’s especially useful in:
