Q: Why is BTU FOIL different from other reflective insulation?
A: Performance, quality and technology sets BTU FOIL apart from other radiant insulation.
BTU FOIL ™ high performance stays consistent with age. Using the purest
aluminum in our
product guards against oxidization and keeps BTU FOIL ™ reflectivity at an optimum 97%.
Q: What is the advantage of 99.9% pure aluminum?
A: BTU FOIL uses the highest-grade aluminum. This means BTU FOIL
products are guarded
against oxidization. Other reflective insulation
uses less than 99.9% aluminum that can cause them
to deteriorate with
age. Each layer of BTU FOIL aluminum is also thicker than
most other
reflective insulation. This ensures that our product does
not experience "pin-holeing" that can
also deteriorate your reflective
insulation with aging.
Q: What is the advantage of BTU FOIL ™ EVA bond?
A: BTU FOIL uses a special adhesive called EVA to
bond our layers of aluminum FOIL and
polyethylene bubbles together. The
EVA adhesive is an extra thin yet very strong film. Other
reflective
insulation uses a thicker type of film that can cause delamination
between their
aluminum and bubbles. BTU FOIL EVA bond guards against delamination.
Q: What is a vapor barrier? Can I use BTU FOIL as a vapor barrier?
A: A vapor barrier keeps moist warm air away from colder air to prevent condensation. BTU
FOIL doubles as a vapor barrier in many applications because of its extremely low moisture
permeance level. Installing BTU FOIL eliminates the cost of a separate vapor barrier.
Q: What is the maintenance on BTU FOIL ?
A: BTU FOIL ™ quality and durability is second to
none. While other types of insulation can
crack or become black with
moisture and mold BTU FOIL is flexible yet tough and is resistant to
all moisture, mold and fungi. Once installed BTU FOIL requires no maintenance and no worry.
Q: Is BTU FOIL covered by any warranties?
A: Manufacturer Warranty covers all of our products with a stated warranty of 25 Years
for our ULTRA PREMIUM BTU FOIL line.
