REFLECTIVE FOIL INSULATION

Reflective foil insulation, also called multilayer foil insulation is a new type of insulating product that consist of a 80% foam core with an aluminium laminate each side that allows you to create much more comfortable garage space. The way it works is, instead of slowing down heat transfer the way traditional insulation does, foil actually blocks 97% of energy transfer in and out of the door structure. Reflective foil insulation was introduced onto the market as a smart thermal insulation material. This material is clean, lightweight, recycled and more important - 5.5mm thick. Moreover, reflective foil insulation can be very easily installed as a garage door insulation. It is so easy so anybody can do this. All it needs is double sided tape. Some foil comes as a self-adhesive blanket. It is not itchy and no dangerous chemicals in the garage can ruin this type of insulation. From an aesthetic point of view it is very tidy, shiny and clean not only for you, but your family too. It is class A fire rated, mould proof and it will even help deaden sound up to 50 percent. Along with being lightweight, it is usually quick and easy to install. It can be easily cut with a stanley knife. Reflective foil insulation allows you to upgrade your garage door efficiency at very little cost to you (£69.90). This material is easily accessible at popular shops like Screwfix, Wickes or B&Q.

LOW-E™ is the most popular foil insulation brand in the UK, coming from America, where it has been used for over 20 years in various applications. LOW-E is a real game changer when it comes to insulating your garage door. It's cheap and flexible enough to bend back on itself. Its aluminum surfaces have an emissivity of 0.03, which means only 3% of radiant energy will pass through. When installing reflective insulation on garage doors, it is important to allow for sufficient space for air layers. Reflective foil is often confused with multi foil insulation. Multifoil is made up of multi-layered reflective films used in tandem with PIR board to enhance thermal performance. These layers comprise of reflective films interspersed with insulating sections, generally made from wadding. These wadding and reflective layers interact with each other to maximise the thermal efficiency of the structure in which they are applied. Multifoil insulation is ultrasonically welded while reflective foil is single reflective facing material.


REFLECTIVE FOIL INSULATION REVIEW

An air space is needed for a radiant barrier to work. By definition, you must have a void for radiant heat to even exist. If you don’t have an air space then you are basically dealing with conduction. Unlike conduction, reflective foil insulation in order to work they need space to block heat. Research indicates that foil insulation works best when it is placed near the heat source. This means that gluing it to the garage door surface is the best way to keep cold out of the garage.
