Multi Layered Thermal Reflective Insulation

Multi layered thermal reflective insulation or attic radiant barrier insulation uses the same technology to keep your attic temperature constant that nasa uses for the space program.

Multi layered thermal reflective insulation.

They have a high vapour resistance so may also function as a vapour control layer. For example a 2 by 4 section of wall with fiberglass batting might have an r value of 11 to 15 while 7 layers of aluminum foil subdividing the space. Their installation typically relying on the need for an adjoining cavity facing the surface reflective foil. Nasa scientists have discovered that a thin layer of aluminum can insulate as well as a 7 foot thick piece of conventional insulation.

All of our products are designed to help improve the performance of mass insulation by increasing the thermal efficiency and reducing radiant conduction and convection heat transfer. In construction multi layer reflective insulation systems either achieve a higher r value for a more energy efficient home or allow an r value that matches local codes in a smaller space. The reflective technology integral to multi layer insulation can assist in reducing thermal losses from buildings. Multi layer insulation mli is thermal insulation composed of multiple layers of thin sheets and is often used on spacecraft and cryogenics it is one of the main items of the spacecraft thermal design primarily intended to reduce heat loss by thermal radiation in its basic form it does not appreciably insulate against other thermal losses such as heat conduction or convection.
