Reflective Ruff Rap (RRR) represents the next generation in house wrap technology. This revolutionary new product offers the construction industry a durable weather-resistant house wrap, with the added benefits of a radiant barrier. This pin perforated house wrap provides a tested R-value of 3.8, a perm rating of 22.
RRR is a single layer of highly reflective metalized aluminum, laminated to a formulated blend of polyethylene and is pin perforated. This results in a house wrap that acts not only as a superior air infiltration barrier, but it also adds a radiant barrier to the exterior of the home, blocking up to 96% of radiant heat. This results in better year round efficiency and comfort levels. Also, unlike other house wraps or insulating products that are traditionally used, RRR is non-toxic and it’s performance is not affected by extended exposure to the elements.
RRR is typically installed over wood or insulating sheathing, and under siding or other exterior covering. It creates a protective barrier against air infiltration and unwanted liquid moisture.
ADVANTAGES
Increases
wall insulation efficiency
by 20% + and also stops 96% of radiant heat transfer
Reflects heat out in the summer – reduces air conditioning costs
Reflects heat back inside during the winter – reduces heating costs
Increases overall home comfort, Quick, safe, and easy to install

RRR
is an excellent REPLACEMENT
for the standard
white, blue, pink and grey house wraps. RRR also provides
a "
Radiant Barrier Effect " by reflecting 96 % of radiant heat transfer,
thereby increasing the Thermal Efficiency of walls. Greater summer and
winter Energy Efficiency, LOWER
HEATING & COOLING BILLS.
NEED A REFLECTIVE VAPOR BARRIER
RVB is the answer
RVB
is identical to RRR except there are NO PERFORATIONS, and is
intended to be used as a 96 % REFLECTIVE HEAT & VAPOR
BARRIER where
indicated.
