INTRODUCTION

This installation guide is designed to help users of

Reective Air Insulation understand how it works

and to install it properly for maximum benet. Please

review this guide thoroughly before installing Reective Air

in any application. Pay particular attention to the product

diagrams, installation instructions and warnings for uses

where Reective Air is not recommended.

This Installation Guide will greatly enhance your ability

to get the maximum thermal performance from installing

Reective Air in the recommended applications.

How Reective

Insulation Works

In a typical building, heat is transferred in three ways:

Conduction (Direct contact)

Transfer of heat between two solid materials that are in

contact with each other.

Convection (Circulation)

Transfer of heat that is caused by the movement of

heated air.

Radiation (Electromagnetic)

Transfer of heat via infrared waves from one surface to

another.

Given that radiant heat has as much impact on

temperature as conduction and convection in a typical

building, reective insulation should be used in addition

to, or in place of, mass insulation to eectively control

heat loss and reduce energy consumption. Unlike mass

insulation, reective insulation blocks 95% of radiant

heat and provides superior thermal performance. Mass

insulation products do not reect heat, instead they slow

down the transfer of heat and are not eective against

radiant heat.

About Reective Air

Reective Air is a uniquely

designed system of materials

made of multiple layers of

heat-sealed air bubbles

layered with a 99% pure

aluminum surface. This

unique multi-laminate

combination delivers a high

performance insulation

product suitable for

agricultural, industrial and

commercial buildings, home

construction and many other

applications and uses.

Reective Air Insulation

is a unique thermal

barrier system that works

all four seasons. During the

winter Reective Air reects

escaping heat back toward

your living spaces, reducing

heat loss and lowering

heating bills.

During the summer it reects

heat away from your living

spaces blocking signicant

heat gain in your house and

cutting air conditioning costs.

Reective Air Works

Consider these benets:

- Blocks 95 percent radiant

heat transfer

- 100 percent eective

against convective

heat transfer

- Eective vapor barrier

- Maintains temperatures

and humidity distribution

of the structure

- Used in conjunction with,

or in place of,

mass insulation
