Astro-Foil Reflective Insulation (foil/bubble/bubble/foil)

ASTRO-FOIL reflective foil insulation consists of two layers of polyethylene bubble film sandwiched between two layers of 99.9% pure aluminum foil, making a structure 5/16-inch thick. Depending upon the application, ASTRO-FOIL can outperform 6" of mass insulation in all climates. Even higher performance can be expected in hot, humid climates.

ASTRO-FOIL is excellent as a primary insulation for buildings of all types. Preferred by installers and building owners because it is safe to handle, lightweight and works especially well in limited space. There are numerous applications for residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings. Standard roll size: 48" x 125' & 72" x 125', other sizes available as shown below.

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.

GUIDELINES FOR ALL ASTRO-FOIL INSTALLATIONS

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.)
ASTRO-FOIL should always be installed on the inside of the structure.
ASTRO-FOIL will not cure existing problems. Leaking roofs, rot or mold situations or other moisture or structural problems should be corrected before installation.
Any deteriorated wiring should be replaced prior to installing ASTRO-FOIL.
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.
Always turn off all electricity in the area when installing ASTRO-FOIL.
