Product: Insulation & Membrane

Secure Your Home with Gharhub

The protective cover of any building is made up of insulation and waterproofing membranes. They control indoor climate, avoid moisture infiltration, save energy and increase the structural life expectancy. To the homeowner who intends to design the long term comfort of his house, contractors who intend to prepare the BOQs of roofs and basements as well as developers making plans of MEP and finishing schedules, it is of essence to understand the current price of insulation and membrane in Pakistan.

This guide will de-code pricing, trends in the market, kinds of products, and technicals such that you can select the most appropriate protection layer on your roof, walls, and the foundation.

What does “insulation and membrane price in Pakistan today” actually mean?

Prices which are posted online are not the numbers.

Actual costs differ due to:

• Here, XPS, EPS, glass wool, jumbolon, and bitumen membrane are all materials used.
• Thickness: 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″
• Density and R-value: heat resistance is dependent on this.
• Membrane roll sizes (membranes): 3mm, 4mm or 5mm sheets.
• Quality of brand: imported and local.
• The method of application: Torch-applied, adhesive-applied, mechanical fixing.
• Condition of surface: required particularly of the roof and basement preparation.
• Primer + overlap sealing (cost of labor).

Two projects in the city can get a different quote based on the thickness, brand, and installation requirements.

For true comparison, request:

Material + thickness + density/R value + sheet roll/ size + delivery basis.

Snapshot: Where are insulation and membrane prices trending this week?

According to information found in the tracker and distributor lists in late September 2025, it can be analysed as follows:

Insulation Materials

• XPS Sheets: PKR 250 -420 per sq. ft (based on thickness and density)
• EPS Sheets: PKR 180-320 per sq. ft
• Glass Wool: PKR 150-280 per sq. ft
• Jumbolon Sheets: PKR 220-380 per sq. ft

Waterproofing Membranes

• Bitumen Membrane 3mm: PKR3,300-4,400/roll.
• Bitumen Membrane 4mm: PKR 4,600-6,200 per roll.
• Self-Adhesive Membranes: PKR 450-750 a sq. ft.
• Acrylic Waterproofing: PKR400-850/l.

Depending on the brand of the product, the thickness of the product, the mode of installation, and the place, these prices vary.

Understanding “insulation material rate” versus invoice price

The insulation material rate often refers only to the cost of raw materials.

Actual invoice depends on:

• Sq. ft coverage area
• Required thickness (1-4 inches)
• Installation labor cost
• Primer, cleaning, repair of cracks on the surface.
• Overlapping and torching duration of waterproofing.
• Membrane primer Chemical.
• Water resistant coating over the surface (protective screed/geo-membrane)

Example:

XPS at PKR 350/ sq ft can be less but 2 inch thick XPS + membrane + screed could add a lot of cost per-square-foot.

Always calculate:

(Cost of Materials x Area) + (Cost of Labor x Area) + Additional Coats/Primer.

This is your actual BOQ, not the per-sheet or per-roll number only.

City-wise nuance: why Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad differ

The regional differences are brought about as a result of:

• Karachi: Demands high membrane because of humidity + flat roofs- >cost is higher to install.
• Lahore: XPS/EPS are in great demand due to heat waves; they compete on price.
• Islamabad: Grades of insulation are premium because of long winters.

Do not make city-to-city comparisons unless:

Material + Thickness + Density + Type of installation + Surface Prep Requirements are also the same.

How to read and negotiate insulation & membrane rates in Pakistan today?

Apply a rigorous assessment technique:

• Compare quotes: Match thickness + density before comparing quotes.
• Request R-Value certification: R-value should be higher, which implies increased heat-resistance.
• Check roll size or sheet size (membranes range 8 -10 sq. m).
• Reviews Checks on primer and overlap requirements.
• Ask to install the price of installation on its own.
• Check sheets on density consistency: Dense sheets become flattened with time.
• Check batch and ware conditions: Heat spoils membrane rolls.
• Examine the technical data sheet (TDS) of heat, moisture, and UV resistance.
  

Insulation & Membrane Market Trend Chart Explanation

Below is the Building Thermal Insulation Market Comparison chart, which demonstrates how Pakistan uses insulation in comparison to the major Asian economies. With the new focus on energy efficiency, insulation, and membrane use in construction to minimize heat transfer, lessen water vaporization, and cut down on electricity expenses is becoming a decidedly vital element of construction today, and thus builders cannot do without it.

Why Choose GharHub For Insulation and Membrane?

• Durable heatproofing and waterproofing fabrics.
• Reliable open pricing.
• Easy online ordering and quick delivery.
• Suppliers of high-profile products that are strict on quality.

What is the purpose of an insulation sheet?

Insulation sheets minimize the heat transfer, and they will keep your house cool during summer and warm during winter. They also save energy and prevent the services of surface damage due to temperature.

What is an insulation membrane?

It is a covering that is used to prevent heat, moisture, and vapor infiltration into walls, roofs, or floors to enhance building energy efficiency and structural integrity.

What is a membrane sheet?

Membrane sheet is a water-resistant sheet applied to prevent seepage of water in roofs, basements, foundations, and wet spaces such as washrooms.

What is the price of a membrane sheet in Pakistan?

The cost is based on the thickness of the sheets, brand, and type (bitumen, PVC, HDPE, vapor barrier, etc.).

The insulation and membrane price in Pakistan at the moment is a cost per material, varying by thickness and being a cost to install, not a one-price item. Before concluding BOQs confirm thickness, densities, roll sizes, how it should be applied and labor needs. Your structure can be secured with resistance to heat, moisture, and withstand severe deterioration over a long period of time with proper verification and high-performance materials.
