Dallas Professional Reflective Foil Insulation Contractor
Dallas Super R Plus & TempSheild Reflective Insulation
Reflective foil insulation
is a thin, lightweight layer of metalized film that provides resistance against the three types of heat flow: conduction, convection and radiation. This type of insulation works best when it is facing an airspace and is installed in the envelope of a building. Reflective foil insulation reflects radiant heat energy instead of trying to absorb it or slow it like typical fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Reflective foil insulation reflects up to 95% of radiant energy in addition to resisting other types of heat transfer thus providing an effective insulation and heat barrier.
The two most typical reflective foil insulation applications Perkins Inc. installs is Super R Plus stapled to the roof rafters inside the attic and TempSheild Double Foil Bubble insulation over knee walls in the attic. Both of these applications will reduce radiant heat gain and create a more comfortable living environment.

The difference between Super R Plus and TempSheild Bubble
Super R Plus and TempSheild Bubble reflective insulation product are very similar in that they both reflect an average of 95-96% of the radiant heat that strikes their surfaces across and air space. Super R Plus is a fairly thin product that is about the thickness of a standard business card. Super R Plus has a reinforcement layer in the middle (typically referred to as a woven scrim) to make the product strong and tear resistant.
TempSheild bubble reflective insulation product is a thicker product with an "insulating" middle layer of air bubbles. Because of the presence of the small insulating layer, a reflective insulation product by itself achieves a small R-value.
