Supafil Frame insulation is a water-repellent, loose-fill, fibrous glasswool thermal insulation product. Supafil Frame insulation is identified by branded bags with labels containing detailed product and batch information. The Masonry Protection Barrier is used to reduce water penetration through masonry veneer walls, and is specified by Enstall Insulation Ltd.

- Timber-framed walls with masonry veneer cladding, with or without wall underlay.
