Foil Faced Vapor Barrier

Insulation Facing Description

This insulation facing, a type of foil vapor barrier, is laminated with a five-layer structure. It with a 3-way scrim and 80gsm kraft backing is a high-performance insulation material designed to offer excellent thermal resistance and moisture control. The outer layer is composed of aluminum foil and kraft paper. The middle layer, a double-sided adhesive-coated glass fiber layer, increases the tensile strength of the Foil-Scrim-Kraft, ensuring the aluminum foil and kraft paper are firmly bonded.

Whether you are looking for reliable foil face insulation for residential homes, industrial applications, or commercial spaces, this Foil Faced Insulation Vapor Barrier offers the perfect solution for superior insulation and moisture control.

Features:

This aluminum backed insulation offers multiple benefits for your projects:

Radiant Barrier: The aluminum foil acts as a radiant barrier, reflecting heat to help maintain a consistent temperature and reduce energy costs.
Moisture Control: The 80gsm Kraft Paper Backing functions as a vapor barrier, preventing moisture from entering the insulation and causing damage.
Enhanced Durability: A 3-way scrim provides added strength and durability, preventing tearing and punctures.
Flexibility: The material is flexible and easy to cut, allowing it to be fitted into irregular spaces, such as around corners and between beams.
Fire-Resistant Properties: The FSK facing often includes fire-resistant properties, making it a safer option for various building applications.
Improved Thermal Performance: The reflective foil facing enhances the insulation’s thermal performance by reflecting radiant heat.
Easy Installation: Flexible and easy to cut, this aluminum faced insulation can be fitted into irregular spaces like corners and beams.

Applications:

HVAC Systems: Ideal for duct wrap and HVAC ductwork where both thermal insulation and moisture control are critical.
Exterior Wall Insulation: Perfect for exterior walls in both residential and commercial buildings.
Metal Building Insulation: Often used in industrial buildings due to its durability and thermal reflective properties.
Pipeline and Hot Water Tank Insulation: Provides essential insulation and moisture protection for piping systems.
