Metal Building Reflective Insulation
Product:
- Series 2520 Double Bubble Foil Insulation
- rFOILTM Reflective Insulation is a Double Bubble layer of Polyethylene bubbles bonded to and sandwiched between a radiant barrier metalized foil and white polyethylene sheet
- rFOILTM is specifically designed to control heat gain or loss, and to prevent interior condensation in all types of metal and metal-clad buildings
- rFOILTM meets ASTM E84-09 Fire Test Class 1 / Class A testing
- Square edge, tab 1 side, tab 2 sides, QuickSeam adhesive strip
- Thickness: 5/16” (double)
- Available sizes:
- 6’ x 125’
- 8’ x 125’
Features:
- Reflective metalized aluminum surface facing – lowers heating/cooling costs
- Blocks 97% of radiant heat transfer
- Multi-layer bubble core – does not retain moisture or mould, superior puncture resistance
- White interior facing option – easy to clean, safe, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic
- Practical Tab/Edge options – improves vapour-sealing efforts, UV-resistant
- QuickSeam (adhesive tape on tab) – various tab options ensure continuous vapour and condensation barrier
Applications:
- Pre-engineered steel buildings, post frame / pole barns, agricultural buildings, residential metal roofs, mini-storage units and livestock confinement
Notes:
- Cannot be used under concrete
- Install with white side facing down

Concrete Underpad Poly Barrier Foil Insulation
Product:
- Series 4320 Double Bubble Concrete Foil Insulation with clear poly on reverse side
- rFOILTM Concrete Underpad is an outstanding Reflective Insulation and puncture-resistant Vapour Barrier
- rFOILTM meets ASTM E84-09 Fire Test Class 1 / Class A testing.
- rFOILTM Concrete Underpad provides exceptional thermal value and a strong, permanent Vapour and Radon Barrier (7 mil)
- Square edge, tab 1 side, tab 2 sides, Quick Seam adhesive strip
- Thickness: 5/16” (double)
- Available sizes:
- 6’ x 125’
- White Poly Tape, 2” x 150’ Roll
Features:
- Reflective metalized aluminum facing (installed face down) – redirects radiant heat energy back to living area and provides a faster reaction time for Radiant Floor heating
- Multi-layer 7 mil bubble core – provides a continuous Thermal Break below the slab, strong puncture resistance and tear strength. Outstanding Vapour and Radon Barrier will also insulate the edge-slab and outside of foundation
- Lightweight flexible materials – just unroll, overlap and tape the seams.
- Ideal for edge-slab insulation and expansion joints;
- Easily folds up at perimeter footing
Applications:
- Insulating under concrete slabs, beneath concrete over-pours, edge-slabs and expansion joints
- Install with clear Poly side facing up
