Aluminum Foil Facing used for insulation systems, high tensile strength and good abrasive-resistance, and BS 476 Class O Fire-Rating approval.
Aluminum Foil Facing is typically made of a layer of aluminum foil laminated to a backing material. F/R Aluminum Foil Facing (7u foil and 10×9 mesh glass cloth, laminated with F/R glue).
Some of the benefits of using Aluminum Foil Facing in insulation systems include improved thermal performance, moisture resistance, fire resistance, and overall durability. It can help to reduce energy costs, improve indoor comfort, and contribute to a more sustainable and energy-efficient building.
Aluminum foil insulation facings are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial insulation applications. It is often used in conjunction with other insulation materials, such as fiberglass, foam board, or mineral wool, to enhance the thermal performance of the insulation system.
