Product Description
Installing a radiant barrier is the only way to effectively block the transfer of radiant heat. Used as a standalone product in some applications or in conjunction with other types of insulation these reflective foil insulation products are extremely effective. We supply a wide variety of foil insulation products to complete any project.
Our Poly / Double Bubble / Foil Square Edge Insulation product consists of a single layer of polyethylene bubbles sandwiched between a highly reflective surface and a White polyethylene sheet. The product specific design is to reduce the amount of radiant heat transfer in residential and commercial buildings. The importance of the white poly on one side is for any open application where the insulation will be visible. The polyethylene sheet’s washable finish is UV resistant ensuring a good finish. All products in this class are Class 1 / Class A Fire Rated in compliance with the ASTM E84 fire test standard and pass the NFPA 286 Full Room Burn Test. In addition to increasing thermal resistance, all of our bubble core products are approved vapor barriers.
Radiant Barriers are useful anywhere insulation is useful. To understand why they are effective insulators you must understand the two modes of heat transfer and how they work. Heat travels in your home by a mixture of conduction, convection, and radiation. Fiberglass, cellulose, rock wool, and spray foam are all designed to stop the flow of convective and conductive heat. Although each of these insulation types is important and effective, they are not designed and therefore poor at stopping the flow of radiant heat. The two best insulating materials on earth to block radiant heat is gold followed by aluminum. This is why reflective foil insulation and radiant barrier technology exist and are now commonplace in today’s insulation system.
