Upgrade Your Roof with Advanced Insulation Technology
When planning a new roof, it’s not just about slates or tiles—the roofing membrane underneath plays a crucial role in your home’s energy efficiency, moisture control, and longevity. At Furber Roofing, we recommend YBS Multifoil Insulated Felt as a superior alternative to standard breathable felt for modern roofing projects.
Here’s why more UK homeowners, builders, and developers are choosing YBS Multifoil—and how it can benefit your home for years to come.
What Is YBS Multifoil Insulated Felt?
YBS is a leading UK manufacturer of high-performance roofing and insulation products. Their multifoil underfelt is a multi-layered, reflective insulation system that combines three key benefits in one:
✅ Breathable roofing membrane
✅ Radiant heat barrier
✅ Thermal insulator
This makes it an ideal solution for homeowners looking to boost energy efficiency without compromising ventilation.

Benefit:
