Product Information

Reflective insulation reduces the transfer of heat across air space. The R-value of reflective insulation and mass insulation is based on the same fundamental equation - The ability to stop heat transfer. You owe Insulation4Less.com and Prodex an apology. You should remove our names from your article. You spread your broad brush over an entire industry without taking the time do the extra research to make sure your criticisms applied to each company. Whenever to you include "All" you'll make this error. It is never "All" of an industry, religious group, gender, nationality, etc. that can be described as "bad".

As far as I am concerned none of the comments that occurred here after your silence on the matter [May --> July] are relevant to the real-world building science that makes the premise of this article and lots of the comments FLAWED. I can poke myriad holes in your arguments and we are talking about the wrong things in the first place. Mr. Holliday, did you tell the FTC that? Nope! Why? I guess because it's so much easier to go after little Insulation4Less and Prodex than whistle blow against the big boys. That doesn't fit with getting those advertising dollars! Hey everyone how much to you want to bet, he didn't utter a word about the marketing practices of fiberglass, rigid board, cellulose or spray foam to the FTC. Funny how big money makes friends. Metal buildings tend to be more susceptible to temperature fluctuations. By using this insulation, you can regulate the internal temperature and create a more comfortable environment inside your metal building. House Wrap

Firstly, foil insulation isn’t just a layer of tin foil with some stuffing thrown in for good measure. Multifoil insulation is a high-tech solution made from many layers of reflective aluminium foil, thermo-foam and polypropylene (wadding to you and me). Although multifoil insulation is made from layers, the build-up of the multifoil remains slimline whilst still offering outstanding therm insulation performance. This is an interesting footnote to the field of radiant barrier controversies. Evidently the Rudd government in Australia was offering incentives to encourage the installation of residential insulation. Evidently some radiant barrier manufacturers or distributors convinced a government official that radiant barriers are a type of insulation, and should therefore be eligible for the government insulation subsidies, just like fiberglass. Another quote, "The bubble wrap layer is unnecessary, since it adds cost to the material without adding any useful thermal performance." Combi" Installation - use SuperFOIL with any other insulation including mineral wool or foam board such as PIR to achieve the required insulation U-Value. With an air gap and taking into account adding an air barrier and using foil where the radiant levels are high, the stuff though marketed horrendously does do a job.

This effort by us to first give you a chance to correct your errors before we take further steps doesn't appear to be working. Our patience is wearing. In the art of war, when one tactic fails, peruse another. Is that what you want? Would love any suggestions for creating an insulated cavity against a vapor tight exterior wall, as we are now very reluctant to place cellulose between two vapor barriers- thank you! When using SuperFOIL, the great thing about installation is there isn’t much cutting to be done! Because the insulation is installed in a continuous layer, there is no difficult cutting to fit! Simply roll to the desired length and cut once, that’s it! A. Here you go: Prodex Headquarters are at Zona Franca Bes Coyol Alajuela, Alajuela 330-4060, Costa Rica.No, we haven’t spelt ceiling wrong. We are talking about ensuring your foil insulation is fully sealed once in place. By ensuring your insulation is sealed, you will be achieving maximum performance from your foil insulation. Sealing is easy to do with multifoil insulation, done by using foil tape over all joints, gaps, and tears. It takes a little bit of time to do. Still, by completing this, you will notice a considerable difference in draughts throughout your home. The Cleanup The houses perform extremely well in both summer and winter. The additional building cost was reasonable, and much cheaper than spray foam. Installation requires no special tools or respiratory masks or clothing. I agree that the advertising techniques may be flawed but the product itself, when installed correctly, is effective. Once you have finished your install, make sure to tape up any joints, tears or edges using SuperFOIL superior tape. By ensuring all of these areas are sealed, you are creating an airtight finish that helps to give you maximum performance from your insulation, as well as eliminating any draughts. Tip Number 5 – Finish

But for an R=.75 value it doesn't seem worth it. Do you think the extra air between the double bubble and dome interior/exterior walls will increase the efficacy of the product? How would I calculate the R-value in such a case? When screwing through the battens and into the SuperFOIL, it is important to make sure you have the product compressed fully and to drive the screw through.

An insulated garden shed floor can save as much as 40% of the heat that would have been lost. When looking to insulate a shed floor you have two options, to install insulation within the foundations of your shed, or to create a false floor in your shed. It is much easier to install insulation within the foundations during the building process, as doing so within an existing shed is likely to be a painful process as it involves removing all flooring in your shed. For an existing shed, making a false floor offers good thermal insulation, with a much easier installation process. in July, and the outer surface will not condense. It is doing SOMETHING. It is REAL insulation :-)." You might have a cold workshop with heat escaping through the roof. Stapling a layer of Reflectix along the rafters will cut down on some heat loss and stop air infiltration. If you cannot or are unable to insulate the ceiling with fiberglass or foam, Reflectix is an alternative. As a nice byproduct, its reflective surface would give your shop more ambient light.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm not surprised that when "a yurt in Vermont" is insulated with bubble wrap, "the bubble wrap is inadequate." Since the main benefit from foil-faced bubble wrap is due to its radiant-barrier facing, the product is basically worthless unless it faces an air space. A decade ago, when I was the editor of Energy Design Update, I noticed that many manufacturers of foil-faced bubble wrap were promoting their products for use under concrete slabs on grade. In this application, the shiny foil is clearly not facing an air space, so the exaggerated R-value claims made by bubble-wrap manufacturers were particularly outrageous. My article exposing the bubble-wrap scammers appeared in the September 2003 issue of EDU. One of the greatest benefits of this insulation is its ability to save energy. By reducing the stress on your heating and cooling systems, it allows them to operate more efficiently, leading to significant energy savings and lower utility bills. Easy Installation and Maintenance Q: Can this insulation be used on both sides of a wall? A: Yes, this insulation can be installed on both sides of a wall to maximize its effectiveness.
