High-Performance Reflective Insulation
WHY CHOOSE REFLECTIVE INSULATION?
RESISTO high-performance reflective insulation products effectively reduce energy costs through their use of radiation heat transfer. This phenomenon occurs when the infrared heat of a hot surface is transferred to a cold surface through an air space. Radiation thus comes into contact with any type of material and is then diffused, absorbed or reflected. For example, air, water and glass diffuse visible light to varying degrees, while a white surface (like snow) reflects it, and a black surface absorbs it.
BENEFITS OF REFLECTIVE INSULATION
• Quick and simple installation
• Reduction of condensation, air infiltration and energy costs
• Decrease of heat input to the inside, with excellent R-value
• Stable and durable vapour barrier
• Prevention of condensation, and properties not affected by mould
• Easy-to-clean aesthetic finish
THE RESISTO SOLUTION
THE PRODUCTS IN THE RESISTO REFLECTIVE INSULATION LINE HAVE A THICKNESS OF 3/16 IN (0.48 CM) OR 5/16 IN (0.79 CM) AND ARE COMPOSED OF SEVERAL LAYERS. THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN ROLLS OF VARIOUS WIDTHS AND LENGTHS.
To ensure the strength of the product, each reflective surface is bonded to a polyethylene liner on which a metallized coating is applied. The metallized facer of RESISTO HIGH-PERFORMANCE REFLECTIVE INSULATION reflects the radiant energy that comes into contact with its surface. In this way, the heat is kept inside or outside the building, depending on the climate. These metallized facers are applied over rows of air bubbles to optimize the product and give it rigidity and greater strength. In addition, these two inner layers of bubbles control the heat flow through conduction
