Single bubble insulation for residential and commercial applications
This insulation product consists of 1 layer of 5/32" (4mm) polyethylene bubble that is sandwiched between two metalized, low emissivity surfaces. The R-value ranges from 4.9 to 14.1 (see "Technical Data" tab below). The polyethylene encapsulated air bubbles serve as an effective thermal break as well as a vapor barrier while the two outer metalized surfaces reflect up to 96% of all radiant energy. Important - Use reflective tape to seal seams which improves performance. Compare to Double Bubble or Prodex Total Insulation.

Reflective insulation is the most effective when airspace exists between the insulation and the adjacent material. The R value of the system will vary dependent on the airspace size and the direction of the heat flow, and the conductive and convective properties of surrounding materials. We are not able to expand on the Characteristics, Values or Regulations shown in above chart. All pertinent technical information available is posted above. Please consult your local code official if concerned with an approval.
