Multi layer reflective foil insulation is recommended for use in a range of applications.
Multi layered thermal reflective insulation.
Nasa scientists have discovered that a thin layer of aluminum can insulate as well as a 7 foot thick piece of conventional insulation.
Multi layered thermal reflective insulation or attic radiant barrier insulation uses the same technology to keep your attic temperature constant that nasa uses for the space program.
Given this alternative approach to thermal performance specifiers now need to consider surface emissivity and thermal resistance when specifying thermal insulation products.
All of our products are designed to help improve the performance of mass insulation by increasing the thermal efficiency and reducing radiant conduction and convection heat transfer.
For example a 2 by 4 section of wall with fiberglass batting might have an r value of 11 to 15 while 7 layers of aluminum foil subdividing the space.
We have several multi layer reflective insulation products to meet different installation methods and applications.
In construction multi layer reflective insulation systems either achieve a higher r value for a more energy efficient home or allow an r value that matches local codes in a smaller space.
The reflective technology integral to multi layer insulation can assist in reducing thermal losses from buildings.
