Aluminum foil vapor barrier is laminated 5 layers of structure, the outer layer is aluminum foil and kraft paper.All 5 layers laminated together using a flame-retardant adhesive. The outer layer is aluminum foil and kraft paper, middle layer is the glass fiber layer double side coated with flame-retardant adhesive, it increased tensile strength of FSK, and the aluminum foil and kraft paper are firmly bonded.

Aluminum foil vapor barrier is a flame retardant, vapor-barrier, and insulation facing for the insulation industry. Aluminum foil vapor barrier protects insulation materials as like as a jacket. It is most commonly used to exposed surfaces of Duct wrap, HVAC Ductwork, Exterior wall insulation, Metal building insulation, Pipeline insulation, Hot water tank insulation.

How do you install aluminum foil vapor barrier?

Start with the ceiling then the walls.
Staple the foil vapor barrier to all interior surfaces; the wall and ceiling, not the floor. Overlap your wall foil over the 3″ of the ceiling, helping to keep rising heat near the ceiling.
