Can you think of five instances where bubble pack or bubble foil insulation is used?  If you do most will probably come from the packaging industry.  Bubble mailers and box inserts are two examples. 
But this is only one application. There are eighteen more industries where bubble pack and bubble foil insulation are successfully used.  See [...]

Practically everyone has a use for bubble foil or bubble pack insulation.  Use it for packaging and shipping.  Use it for temperature control in long term storage. 
 On the construction side, foil insulation can be used anywhere in conjunction with radiant heat and many other applications.   Wrapping hot water heater and pipes is a great, low [...]

Do you ever wonder how the insulation in your home works?  This concept is one of the most challenging topics to explain to consumers.  Explaining radiant heat and radiant barrier technology can be even more difficult as the transfer of radiant heat is invisible.  It is also sometimes difficult to explain how using this technology [...]

Using bubble foil or bubble pack insulation has certain advantages in pole barns, post frame buildings, and steel and metal buildings.  Traditional insulations are typically installed directly to the roof deck.  Condensation has been known to occur where they are applied in contact with the roof deck, especially if compression and vapor tight seams are [...]
