Why Reflective Insulation? Reflective insulation resists all three types of heat transfer, Conduction, Convection, and most importantly, Radiant Energy Transfer. The design incorporates the proven effectiveness of the Thermos Bottle, with improved flexibility and light weight, that makes installation and handling a pleasant experience. Properly installed, Reflective Insulation resists convective currents and provides an excellent barrier against air infiltration from the outside. It also is an excellent vapor barrier. Unlike bulk insulation, reflective insulation does not absorb moisture at all. In fact, installed in conjunction with mass insulations it can help them stay drier and warmer, and by eliminating condensation, improve the performance of the bulk insulation.

Regular Insulation vs. Radiant Barrier People in well built, well insulated, and energy efficient home and offices have been asking themselves for years why their heating and air conditioning systems continue to use hundreds, or even thousands, of rupees per day continually adding or extracting heat from their "energy efficient" buildings. Insulation was designed to slow down conductive heat transfer, and although it does a good job of that, it does little to protect against radiant heat, the primary cause of discomfort and high utility bills. In summer, insulation can actually act as a "heat sink", trapping the heat of the day, and allowing it to "beam" into the building all day, and late into the evening. Used for years in residential and commercial buildings, and popularized by use in the space programs, the Radiant Barrier system is fast becoming a household word. Industry experts predict that all buildings will eventually have radiant barriers in place because of their universal benefits. The concept is simple: each unit of radiant heat energy that is reflected away from your building in summer, and each unit reflected back in during winter, means less operation of your heating and air conditioning systems, less wear and tear on your equipment, and less money you pay in utility costs. A radiant barrier reflects radiant heat energy instead of trying to absorb it. What does this mean in your home or business? During the winter, 50-75% of heat loss through the ceiling/roofing system and 65-80% of heat loss through walls is radiant. In the summer, up to 93% of heat gain is radiant. If you are depending on R-value (resistance) alone to insulate against heat gain and loss, you are losing half the battle. Remember that many bulk insulation products are semi- transparent to radiant energy and are affected by changes in humidity (moisture levels).

Benefits of using Reflective insulation: - Significantly reduces cost of installation - Light-weight - Stops 97% of radiant energy transfer - Saves money on heating and cooling - Increased comfort levels - Requires no gloves or breathing gear - Clean and non-toxic - Superior water vapor barrier - Will not harm people, animals or plants - Helps control condensation - Resists mold, mildew, most insects - Excellent fire rating - Does not attract birds or rodents - No maintenance, water repellent.

Characteristics of Silver Batts One of the most versatile products ever developed and can be used in non- traditional insulation applications. Reflects up to 97% of radiant heat striking its surface. Saves money on heating and cooling Provides an efficient, effective, space saving method of temperature control. Can be used all year round to reduce heating and cooling costs, by retaining heat in the winter and repelling it in the summer months. Provides an excellent vapor barrier. Eliminates condensation. Class A/Class 1 fire rated product. Can be used to wrap your ductwork to reduce your heating and cooling costs. Operant temperature range - 20 o C to 100 o C No maintenance, non-combustible, water repellent. Does not absorb dirt, moisture or oil and cleans easily with soap, water and a cloth. Reduce energy loads, thus reduces CO 2 and green house gas emission. Conserve energy/ energy saving. Non-carcinogenic and non-toxic Can be installed with a pair of scissors, staple gun, tape measure and foil tape.

Why do we insulate? Where do we insulate? For Comfort To help Control Condensation To reduce Energy Consumption · Stud walls · Overhead door insulation · Under rafters (new or retrofit) · Metal building side walls · Under crawl spaces · Hot water heater blanket · Pipe and duct wrap · Car, van and RV applications · Air conditioner covers · Survival blankets · Under concrete slabs · Food storage and coolers

R-Value The R-value of a material is its resistance to heat flow and is an indication of its ability to insulate. It is used as a standard way of telling how good a material will insulate.The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. The R-value is the reciprocal of the amount of heat energy per area of material per degree difference between the outside and inside. Its units of measurement for R-value is: (square meters x degrees C)/watts in the metric system o The R-value is proportional to the thickness of the material. For example, if you doubled the thickness, the R-value doubles. o Insulation for the home has R-values usually in the range of R-2 up to R-10.

Installation: Why do people love using Reflective Insulation? It is easily installed with the use of a razor knife or scissors, a staple gun, tape measure and ESP foil tape. Even though it can be pasted with adhesive. High-Efficiency Performance. Outstanding Safety, Health and Environmental Benefits. Cost-Effective and Versatile. There are no itchy fibers!

Single-Layer Reflective Foil Laminate In an open shed, where the air temperature is the same as outside, foil reduces radiant heat, stops condensation. (Fibrous insulation over the foil adds no benefit.)
