Protection from solar heat
Reflect-R's pure aluminum facing reflects 97% of radiant heat gain. Faster Onsite installation Variable widths, custom lengths and the rigidity of the 1/2" core will save man-hours on your jobsite. Safer In-place fire protection Reflect-R's fiberglass core reduces the risk of fire spread as compared to many non-fiberglass core reflective insulations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

How is the R-Value determined? The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) requires reflective insulation R-Values to be determined by using the ASTM C 1224 test. This test determines an R-Value for the entire assembly. The assembly consists of two 2"x4" wood studs 16" on center, 1/2" plywood deck on top, and the insulation installed at the mid-span of the 2"x4". The reflective airspace is critical to creating R-Value. The greater the airspace, the greater the R-Value. How can other reflective insulation have a greater R-Value? Some suppliers still use the ASTM C976 test, which allows them to place the insulation on the outside edge of the 2"x4", thus creating a 3-1/2" air space. In July of 2003, the FTC ruled to no longer accept the ASTM C976 test as a "fair and accurate" test in establishing R-Values. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Heat Gain
Heat is transferred through three different processes as shown above: convection, conduction and radiation. Of these three, radiation creates 93% of summer heat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
