Home Insulation - Astro-Foil in Residential Applications

Aluminum foil reflects 97% of radiant heat and only emits 3% making it an excellent material to reduce radiant heat transfer and meet your residential insulation needs. ASTRO-FOIL reflective insulations and R+HEATSHIELD radiant barriers are made with 99% pure aluminum foil. Using these residential insulation products in the applications below will provide extra energy savings:

1. Put ASTRO-FOIL or R+HEATSHIELD as a radiant barrier in your attic to prevent heat build up during summer months and reduce heat loss during winter. Your air conditioner and furnace will thank you!
2. Either wrap your house with R+HEATSHIELD or install ASTRO-TAB in your sidewalls to enhance the performance of mass insulation by reducing drafts, providing a thermal break and creating a more thorough building envelope.
3. Use ASTRO-TAB or ASTRO-FOIL to insulate below your radiant heat floor and you will reduce hot spots, prevent downward heat loss, and decrease boiler loads.
4. Use ASTRO-FOIL for your Garage Door to keep your garage temperature more comfortable throughout the year. Don't forget that you can also install it in the walls and on the ceiling.
5. Whether you wrap your ducts with ASTRO-FOIL or line them with ASTRO-SAFE, you will minimize energy consumption by keeping the air flowing through the registers not escaping into unwanted areas.
6. Line your crawl space with ASTRO-FOIL to insulate the floor and eliminate ground moisture from transferring to your living space.
7. Insulate your water heater with ASTRO-FOIL to save energy by minimizing water temperature fluctuation, reducing cycle time.
8. We've got the stuff! TUFF-STUFF under radiant heated slabs will greatly reduce downward heat loss and prevent moisture transfer. Installers jump up and down over our STUFF. Can't do that with foam board!
