Foil insulation, bubble foil insulation, and reflective foil all work the same way.  By being reflective, they block radiant heat using radiant barrier technology.  Conventional insulation does not work the same way.
Remember, there are only three modes of heat transfer; conductive, convective, and radiant.  When you want to keep things hot or cold, there are [...]

We've toyed with the idea of a newsletter for some time now and have finally decided to take the plunge. But what to include? We've decided our newsletter is going to focus on an energy saving insulation concept or specific insulation product. Because our day to day focus is on radiant barriers and reflective foil [...]

Here is a packet of great information that discusses convective, conductive and radiant heat.  To understand heat flow and radiant barriers click the link.  This packet of information is put together as a study guide for architects working on continuing education credits.  It is a class named “Reflective Insulation, Radiant Barriers, & Control Coatings”  But the [...]
