Foil Anti Heat Roof Insulation

Although standard fibrous attic insulation like fiberglass blocks conductive heat loss in the winter it is not very effective at blocking the radiant heat from a hot roof in the summer.

Foil anti heat roof insulation. Perforated breathable metalized attic foil house wrap reflective insulation blocks 95 of heat. Our heat wave pro thermal insulation blanket is made by filling two strong foil outer layers with a jute material and natural cotton denim fibers. Unlike thermal insulation like fiberglass batts or blown cellulose radiant barrier insulation has no r value and is usually made of foil. While traditional insulation materials work by slowing down conductive and convective heat flow radiant barriers and other reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat flow.

The foil insulation is typically installed under the roof deck. The list of uses includes crawl space radiant floor attic and walls. Does not compress collapse or disintegrate. Reflectix requires only basic tools.

The jute and denim are treated for fire mold and mildew resistance. Heat wave pro has a class a fire rating and meets fire resistance standards fmvss 302. A stapler tape measure utility knife straight. 4 8 out of 5 stars 169.
