rFOIL Reflective Insulation has been a leading manufacturer of high-quality thermal insulation for the metal building and metal roofing markets for over 35 years. Backed by this successful manufacturing experience, we are honored to have been voted a Metal of Honor winner again this year by the readers of Metal Roofing magazine! Thank you!
Maintaining our commitment to developing innovative new product solutions, rFOIL is excited to announce the introduction of Staple Guard™ — a new insulation product for the post-frame and metal building industry! Staple Guard is composed of a super-strong white woven scrim bonded to a heavy-duty bubble layer and a highly reflective radiant barrier film. This provides outstanding tear-resistance, keeping the insulation firmly in place. The reflective radiant barrier film blocks 96% of radiant energy which reduces radiant heat gain / loss in buildings, saving energy and reducing heating and cooling costs. Additionally, this product helps prevent interior condensation and will not promote the growth of mold, mildew, or fungi. Also, there is no need for personal protective equipment when installing the product.
Manufactured by Covertech Inc., rFOIL products have earned a reputation for quality, performance, and durability. The use of rFOIL Reflective Insulation has grown in metal buildings and metal roofing systems across North America, for its ability to control heat transfer and prevent interior condensation.
Metal building and metal roofing systems are challenging to insulate. In the summer, heat radiates from the hot, sun-heated metal into the structure, easily raising the interior temperatures well above ambient outside air temperatures.
In cold seasons, containing interior heat is a challenge as well. The key to rFOIL’s thermal performance is the reflective aluminum surface. Metalized aluminum film has outstanding thermal properties and reflects up to 96% of the heat that is radiating inward from the hot metal, dramatically reducing interior heat gain. Conventional mass insulations do virtually nothing to stop radiant heat gain. In cold seasons, rFOIL reduces heat loss due to its low-emittance properties, which makes it difficult for heat to radiate away from its reflective surface, thereby helping keep heat inside. rFOIL reflective insulation is composed of one or two highly reflective aluminum surfaces and an inner core of high strength bubbles. The bubble core reduces interior condensation by providing a thermal break between the exterior metal and the building interior. A white interior facing is also a popular product option.
We would like to thank Metal Roofing Magazine readers again for this award. We are humbled by your confidence in our products and will continue our mission to manufacture high quality, high-performing thermal insulation that you can rely on.
