Reflective Foil Insulation
 |
Reflective foil insulation is an effective solar energy barrier that can greatly reduce the transfer of radiant heat through siding and roofing. While most insulating materials rely on retarding the flow of heat through walls and ceiling, reflective foil insulation works by reflecting as much as 97% of the radiant energy back away from its surface. This can dramatically cut energy costs in air-conditioned housing, as well as create an effective “shade” in non-cooled out-buildings, garages, porches, and utility buildings.
General Features
- Radiant energy reflectivity (up to 97%)
- Reduces cooling costs
- Energy Star compliant
- 100% waterproof
- R-values unaffected by humidity and water

Installation
Reflective foil insulation consist of aluminum foil bonded to either one or both sides of a double layer of bubble insulation that can be taped to purlins, stapled to rafters or studs, or rolled out onto roof decking or existing shingles prior to installation of metal roofing or siding panels.
Prior to metal roofing installation, Reflective foil insulation can be:
- Laid out over roof decking or existing shingles
- Taped to metal purlins in steel buildings
- Stapled to wood purlins in post frame buildings
On existing structures, reflective foil insulation can be:
- Attached to the bottoms of metal purlins
- Laid down over ceiling joist or stapled to the undersides of rafters
To receive the full benefit from foil insulation, an air space must be created between the panels and the reflective foil surface of the insulation. Insulation should be stapled down and covered over with 1x4 or 2x4 purlins ahead of the application of the exterior covering.
