Yes, but don't believe a word of it, though.

Multi-foils have been caught out in recent years lying through their
teeth about the performance of their materials. Some manufacturers
have had it tested properly, and use resistance figures of ~1.7mēK/W;
YBS I notice still quote the very discredited 6.1mēK/W. Real world
testing has been done proving that anything more than 1.7mēK/W is
bull****.


So no better than a rather thin sheet of Celotex?
