Our F/R Aluminum Foil Facing is a specialized material designed to significantly improve the fire resistance and thermal performance of various insulation systems. This product, also known as AG-R701, is a key component for enhancing the safety and energy efficiency of buildings. Unlike a simple aluminum foil tape, this laminated facing provides a comprehensive barrier that is perfect for use on ducts and ductwork where fire and heat resistance are paramount.
This fire-retardant Aluminum Foil Facing is essential for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications:
