Reflective Foil
Reflective foil insulation is designed to block radiant heat transfer across open spaces. Because it absorbs and emits only a small amount of heat it is most effective at keeping your home or building cool in hot, sunny climates. Reflective foil insulation can be used under roofs, in walls and under floors.
Features and benefits of reflective insulation:
- Light-weight, very strong and easy to install
- Will not allow moisture to pass through in either direction
- Eliminates condensation within the ceiling and walls when properly installed as a vapour barrier
- Unaffected by humidity with lower moisture transfer and absorption rates than bulk insulation–therefore no mildew, mould or fungus growth
- Not a nesting material for rodents, birds or insects
- Non-toxic, fibre free – ideal for asthma or allergy sufferers
- Excellent acoustic properties.
- Suitable for both new and renovated properties
- The products comply with the Australian Standards of Insulation Materials including fire and R- value calculations
