What is Multi-Layer Insulation?

To keep people and spacecraft safe from harmful radiation, NASA developed a method for depositing a thin metal coating on a material to make it highly reflective. On Earth, it has become known as multi-layer insulation technology and is an extremely popular form of insulation for buildings, homes, among other applications.

We use Multi-Layer Insulation products which are revolutionary in the growing reflective insulation market. Our products are extremely durable and provide many useful applications based on your particular insulation needs. Multi-layer Insulation products can help homeowners reduce the cost of heating and cooling for their homes while creating a more comfortable and healthy living environment.

How It Works

Adding this technology between the two outer layers of aluminum creates a compound effect on the blanket’s performance and separates us from the competitors because we are more than just a barrier. This helps the design to be more resistant to the transfer of conduction, convection, & radiant heat (99% aluminum can block up to 97% of radiant heat transfer).

Multi-Layer Insulation products are designed to help improve the performance of mass insulation by increasing thermal efficiency and reducing radiant, conduction, and convection heat transfer.

Our Multi-Layer Insulation employs two highly reflective aluminum surfaces to resist radiant heat transfer, a feature not offered by traditional mass insulation. These reflective surfaces are joined by a blanket type of fibrous center core.

For any climate Multi-Layer Insulation should be installed on the attic floor over insulation for maximum breathability and performance. The reason this method is so impressive is that multi-layer insulation makes regular insulation more effective. Installing foil on top of the insulation acts like the windproof shell on a jacket.

The With out Multi-Layer Insulation helps minimize convective looping within the insulation. By minimizing airflow within the insulation and minimizing radiant heat loss/gain from your attic, the Multi-Layer Insulation will make your home more comfortable and efficient overall.
