Aluminum Foil Insulation Description

 

Double Sided Aluminum Foil Insulation consists of two layers of durable aluminum foil, bonded together with a heat-resistant adhesive. The reflective properties of the aluminum foil work by reflecting radiant heat away from the insulated space, preventing excessive heat transfer. In hot climates, it helps keep interiors cool, while in colder environments, it retains heat, creating a more comfortable indoor climate and reducing the need for heating and cooling systems.

This insulation aluminum foil also serves as an effective vapor barrier. It prevents moisture from penetrating the insulation, reducing the risk of condensation and mold growth, which can damage the structure and degrade indoor air quality. As a result, this insulation material not only enhances thermal performance but also protects building structures from moisture-related issues.

Features:

  • Reflective Aluminum Foil: Offers excellent radiant heat reflection, improving energy efficiency.
  • Vapor Barrier: Prevents moisture infiltration, reducing the risk of mold and structural damage.
  • Energy Efficiency: Reduces heating and cooling costs by improving insulation performance.
  • Lightweight and Easy to Install: Flexible and simple to handle, ideal for various building applications.
  • Durable and Heat-Resistant: Built to withstand high temperatures without compromising performance.

Applications:

  • Attic Insulation: Prevents heat gain and loss, reducing energy consumption and maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
  • Wall Insulation: Provides both thermal insulation and moisture protection in wall cavities, enhancing energy efficiency and preventing moisture damage.
  • Roof Insulation: Reflects radiant heat, reducing the amount of heat that enters the building and improving indoor comfort.
  • HVAC Duct Insulation: Insulates HVAC ducts to minimize heat loss or gain, ensuring efficient air distribution and reducing energy costs.
