Astro-E Reflective Insulation

The Revolutionary  Insulating Material That's Safe,  Effective, Versatile And Easy To Install.

ASTRO-E reflective foil insulation consists of a layer of polyethylene bubble film sandwiched between two layers of 99.9% pure aluminum foil, making a structure 1/4-inch thick. ASTRO-E is a lighter weight, less expensive structure that, in many applications will give performance comparable to ASTRO-FOIL. Standard roll sizes 48" x 125' and 72" x 125'.

  • It reflects heat - keeps buildings warm in Winter and cool in Summer.
  • It stops air infiltration - seals drafty buildings.
  • It acts as a vapor barrier.
  • It is strong, light weight, clean and does not degrade over time.
  • It is easy and fast to install - usually saves up to 50% labor time.
  • It improves comfort AND saves money.
More Efficient, Safer To Use and Easier To Install Than Regular Bulk Mineral Fiber Or Foamboard Insulation For Pre-Engineered Metal and Post-Frame Buildings.

ASTRO-FOIL is a revolutionary type of industrial, commercial and general purpose insulation incorporating state-of-the-art technology in design and manufacture. It includes a building code approved vapor barrier, air infiltration barrier and powerful insulation all in one.

Its unique composite design consists of layers of polyethylene air bubble pockets, surrounded by a thin layer of reflective aluminum foil that is inorganic, water-resistant, puncture-resistant, termite and fungus resistant, non-allergenic and inhospitable to nesting rodents.

ASTRO-FOIL is easy to install-it's thin, pliable, lightweight design is especially suited for pre-engineered and post-frame buildings. ASTRO-FOIL offers increased energy efficiency over traditional insulation products. And it's safe... there are no protective masks, gloves or safety glasses required. Standard 4'and 6' wide rolls can be easily trimmed with a utility knife or pair of scissors to fit any application. ASTRO-FOIL's lightweight design makes it easy on your building's design load.

Guidelines for all Astro-Foil Installations

  1. ASTRO-FOIL works best when there is a 3/4' air space on each side of the insulation. (Larger air space is fine but a smaller one reduces its thermal effectiveness.)  
  2. ASTRO-FOIL should always be installed on the inside of the structure.  
  3. ASTRO-FOIL will not cure existing problems. Leaking roofs, rot or mold situations or other moisture or structural problems should be corrected before installation.  
  4. Any deteriorated wiring should be replaced prior to installing ASTRO-FOIL.  
  5. ASTRO-FOIL should be at least 3' from any heat producing fixtures, chimneys, blowers, etc. NEVER install ASTRO-FOIL directly above lighting or other heat producing devices.  
  6. Always turn off all electricity in the area when installing ASTRO-FOIL.
