TekFoil Reflective Foil Insulation

The primary function of reflective insulation is to reduce radiant heat transfer across open spaces, which is a major contributor to heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. TekFoil products are engineered to provide an extremely effective, low cost system to help keep BTUs where they belong: outside when it's hot, and inside when it's not. Once installed in a building cavity, air is trapped, reducing heat flow by convection. TekFoil stops radiant heat flow by both reflectivity (97% reflective) and emissivity (only 3% emissive). Perforated TekFoil can be used under vinyl siding for reflection of heat and will not affect the siding. TekFoil advantages:

Provides high R-value.
Eliminates cold floors.
Class A/Class I fire rating.
60 PSI crushing resistance.
Provides reflective insulation for radiant heat loss or gain.
Positive thermal break will reduce or eliminate condensation and is impervious to moisture.
Quick and easy to install, store and handle. You only need a pair of scissors and a staple gun.
Cut costs in half. Installs on walls, ceilings and under concrete slabs.
Effective as a vapor barrier and a radon barrier.
Will not promote the growth of fungus or bacteria.
No change in performance due to compaction, settling, or moisture absorption.
Environmentally safe and non-toxic. Provides a healthier environment for livestock.
