Flexfoil is a low-e reflective insulation. It will help to keep your
home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This uniquely
desig ned
material reflects up to 97% of radiant heat back to its source. It
works much like a thermos where hot liquids stay hot because the heat
within the bottle is reflected back; cool liquids stay cool because
the outside heat is reflected away. Approximately 50% to 75% of all
heat loss in a home is due to radiant heat loss.
 
Flexfoil is a uniquely designed system of materials. The interior
is made of one or two layers of insulating air bubbles. The outer
surface is a sheath of 99% pure aluminum foil. Product is available
with foil on one or two sides
Flexfoil can be used by itself or in conjunction with standard mass
insulation materials. It will increase your home's efficiency along
with raising comfort levels. The product is non-toxic, non-allergenic
and pest resistant. Some typical applications include:
- Hot water
heaters
- Garage doors
- Pipes & ducts
- Attics & crawl spaces
- Basement walls & floors
- Radiant Floors
- Barns
Flexfoil is very easy to install. The only materials you will need
are a staple gun, measuring tape, scissors, and Flexfoil seaming
tape. No special clothing or breathing equipment is needed.
