Reflective Ruff Rap (RRR / RHW) 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 / RHW 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 / RHW is non-toxic and it’s performance is not affected by extended exposure to the elements.
RRR / RHW is an excellent REPLACEMENT for the
standard white, blue, pink and grey house wraps and is typically installed over wood or insulating sheathing, and under
siding or other exterior coverings.
RRR / RHW is also an economical replacement for our “BTUFOIL Reflective Bubble Insulation” on wall applications. It creates a protective barrier against air infiltration and unwanted liquid moisture. In addition to sealing out air, it is designed to allow damaging moisture to escape from inside the home or building. Greater summer and winter Energy Efficiency, LOWER HEATING & COOLING BILLS.
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
