What is
Insulation?

An answer to unwanted energy transfer:

• As insulation in buildings, Insulation acts as a radiant energy barrier, a convective energy barrier, and a conductive energy barrier.

And more:

• As an air/vapor barrier, Insulation prevents drafts and problems caused by water condensation.
   
• Within a radiant heat floor system, Insulation helps to retain and distribute heat within the concrete.
   

A Closer Look...

At the center of Insulation is a white polyethylene film, which causes to reflect nearly all white light (84%).

A sheet of bubble pack (multi-celled plastic film) is laminated to both sides of the polyethylene film. The bubble pack supplies air, which is considered to be one of the best insulation materials.

A layer of metalized polyester is laminated to the outermost sides of the bubble pack.   This 'metalized polyester' is a polyester substrate that has aluminum vapor-deposited on it. The resulting product is thinner, and does not conduct electricity.   The polyester coating protects the aluminum against punctures and allows Insulation to be used in building construction without strapping.

• Controls heat loss and gain by repelling 94% of hot or cold energy


• Improves comfort with insulative value.


• Prevents air infiltration


• Seals drafts

• Will not attract lightning

• Resists environmental breakdown and disintegration


• Strong: high tensile strength of 4.8 Newtons/mm


• Will not absorb moisture


• Non-corrosive


• Blocks the sun's UV rays


• Resists high heat before melting


• Deformation of the bubblepack occurs at 300°F


• Melting of the polyester protective coating occurs at 400°F.

• Non toxic


• Non carcinogenic


• Clean -  does not promote the growth of bacteria or fungi


• Washable
  
• Handling does not require protective clothing or a respirator.

Acts as a thermal energy barrier in both residential and industrial buildings.

Also lends itself to innovative applications, as it is thin, flexible, and light weight.

• Comes in lightweight, 19 pound (8.6 kg) rolls.


• Pliable.   Can be shaped.


• Installs using common fasteners: nails, staples, tacks, bolts, tape, and glue. Velcro fastening systems also work.


• Cut with a utility knife or scissors.


• Sew with a commercial sewing machine using a walking foot and a long stitch.
