What do asbestos, fibreglass, and modern multifoil insulation have in common?
They’ve all been considered the “best” solution of their time — but only one meets the health, energy, and environmental standards homeowners demand today.
We’re proud to announce that EcoQuilt® by EcoSeal has been officially endorsed by the Roofing Advisory Service (RAS) — a respected name in UK roofing guidance and standards.
But what does this endorsement mean? And why does it matter?
To understand how far insulation has come — and why EcoQuilt® is being hailed as the future — we need to look back at where it all began.
How Did We Get Here? A Brief History of Loft Insulation
Asbestos: The Original “Miracle Material”
Did you know asbestos was once praised for its fire resistance and insulation properties?
Used widely throughout the 20th century in roofs, lofts, and walls, asbestos seemed like the perfect solution — until its deadly health risks became undeniable. By the 1990s, it was banned in the UK after being linked to cancers and fatal lung conditions.
Fibreglass: The Quick Replacement
In the wake of the asbestos ban, fibreglass insulation became the go-to alternative. It was cheap, fire-resistant, and easy to install — but did anyone stop to ask if it was truly safe in the long run?
As we now know, fibreglass has its own problems:
-
It releases tiny airborne particles that can irritate the lungs and skin
-
It loses thermal performance over time
-
It absorbs moisture, leading to mould and bacteria build-up
Is it time to ask: Are we still relying on outdated materials in our homes?
EcoQuilt® by EcoSeal: A New Chapter in Insulation
What if insulation could be safer, cleaner, and more effective — all at once?
EcoQuilt® by EcoSeal is a multifoil insulation system built for modern homes.
Unlike fibreglass or other mineral-based products, it doesn’t degrade, doesn’t shed particles, and reflects heat instead of just slowing it down.
It’s this innovation — in both performance and health — that caught the attention of the Roofing Advisory Service.
Why the Roofing Advisory Service Endorsement Matters
When was the last time a national authority backed a new insulation product?
The Roofing Advisory Service has guided roofing professionals and property owners across the UK for decades. Their endorsement means EcoQuilt®:
-
Meets recognised UK roofing and insulation standards
-
Can be used confidently in loft, roof, and attic insulation systems
-
Delivers real, measurable thermal performance without compromise on safety or durability
In short: we’ve moved from “acceptable” materials to recommended best practice.
