| Q: | 75% OF TOTAL BUILDING HEAT TRANSFER IS THROUGH RADIATION - WHY USE PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE NO EFFECT ON RADIATED HEAT? |
| A. |
After years of research
and use in Commercial, Industrial and Residential applications, it has
been proven that Reflective Foil Insulation products are excellent insulators. The effect of ULTRA PREMIUM BTUFOIL tm Reflective Insulation on radiant heat gain and loss is nothing less than astounding. Although conventional mass insulation products (fiberglass, loose fill, wood, etc.) are somewhat effective against convection and conduction, they have no effect on 'radiated' heat transfer. In fact, They (fiberglass, loose fill, wood, etc.) actually ABSORB 80 % - 95 % of the Radiated Heat Energy. ULTRA PREMIUM BTUFOIL tm Reflective Insulation, Reflects 95 % -97 % of the Radiated Heat Energy Back to it's source, which makes ULTRA PREMIUM BTUFOIL tm Reflective Insulation an exceptionally energy-efficient insulation. It reduces radiant heat loss in winter or gain in summer, ULTRA PREMIUM BTUFOIL tm Reflective Insulation lends itself to a myriad of applications. It provides a clean, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic heat barrier that replaces conventional insulation and offers 100% protection against vapor and radon. |

R-values: Are
a measure of thermal resistance to heat transfer caused by conduction
and
convection, but do not measure a product's ability to reflect radiant
heat
energy.
Conduction: Fast-moving molecules on the hot side colliding with and transferring energy to slower-moving molecules on the cold side cause conduction through a solid material. Convection: Occurs when air or fluid moves; warm air rises and cold air falls to create a convection loop. Conventional mass insulation slows down the transfer of heat caused by conduction and convection, and the effectiveness of the slowing down process is measured in Hr ft2/BTU (R-Value). True real life R-Vaules are difficult to determine due to the mass insulation degradation caused by condensation, compression and insulation integrity. Radiation: From a heat source, radiation is transmitted though air or a vacuum to cold surfaces at the speed of light, but only manifests itself as heat when the rays strike an object and is absorbed. Conventional thermal insulation does not stop these heat rays. However, properly installed ULTRA PREMIUM BTUFOIL tm Reflective Insulation will STOP this radiant heat transfer by reflecting 95 % - 97% of radiant heat rays. A layer of ULTRA PREMIUM BTUFOIL tm Reflective Insulation in the center of two air spaces has two efficient reflective surfaces. This serves to protect against heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. The surface facing the flow of heat will reflect 95% - 97% of the heat rays. This means that only 3% - 5% of the radiant heat rays will escape through the product verses 100% escape through conventional mass insulation. |
