Aluminum Foil Insulation Description

This specialized insulation is constructed as a flame-retardant (F/R Grade CM) composite material, specifically designed to withstand demanding environmental conditions. The structure is built for maximum efficiency and durability:

Dual Foil Layers: Consists of two outer layers of pure aluminum foil that function as the primary radiant barrier, reflecting heat radiation from both directions.

Reinforced Core: The layers are bonded together using F/R Glue and reinforced with a 2-way fiberglass scrim to prevent tearing, punctures, and stretching, ensuring robust material handling and longevity.

Vapor Barrier: An internal layer of F/R Kraft paper further enhances its function as a robust vapor barrier, actively preventing condensation and moisture buildup within the insulated space.

This layered approach makes the aluminum foil insulation highly effective for use in areas requiring superior moisture control and reliable thermal separation.

Features
- Maximized Reflective Properties: Double-Sided Design with Pure Aluminum Foil, maximizes the ability to reflect radiant heat, leading to better temperature stability and significant energy savings.
- Energy Loss Reduction: High Radiant Barrier Efficiency, can reduce energy loss costs by 5% to 10% by minimizing heat transfer through radiation.
- Superior Strength & Durability: 2-Way Fiberglass Scrim Reinforcement, provides exceptional resistance to tearing and physical damage, ensuring the double-sided reflective aluminum foil insulation maintains integrity over an extended period.
- Moisture & Condensation Control: Foil and F/R Kraft Layers, acts as a highly effective Vapor Barrier, preventing moisture accumulation and protecting building materials from degradation.
- Safety Rated Flame-Retardant (F/R Grade CM): Meets fire safety requirements, making it safe for use in homes and commercial buildings.
Applications

The versatility and protective properties of Double Sided Aluminum Insulation make it suitable for a wide range of thermal and moisture control applications:
- Attics: Installed under roof rafters or over attic floor joists to reflect heat radiating from the roof in summer and help maintain warmth in winter.
- HVAC Ductwork: Used to wrap and seal ducts, providing a heat barrier and preventing energy loss and condensation on duct surfaces.
- Crawl Spaces & Floors: Applied on crawl space walls or the underside of the subfloor to reflect heat and mitigate moisture penetration.
- Garages and Sheds: Used on walls and ceilings to help regulate internal temperatures in unconditioned spaces.
- Walls & Roofs: Incorporated into building assemblies to enhance overall thermal resistance and act as a reliable moisture barrier.
