Reflective Foil Insulation – Understanding the Different Installation Options
To complete an insulation project effectively and easily you need to hire good insulation installers and use correct products in the correct application. You also need to ensure you have a correct installation. The only way you can accomplish this is to have an understanding of the different product types available.
Insulation installers will come and assess your home and give you with a quote for ceiling insulation. They will then install your ceiling insulation, complete the formalities and apply for the rebate payment once the job has been completed. Insulation installers handle every aspect of the procedure so that you don’t have to.
Reflective foil insulation comes in a wide range of sizes and styles. Unfortunately most insulation installers, especially e-commerce suppliers offer only a fraction of the overall products that are available and in only one edge detail. Different edge details provide different installation options.
Using the correct products and good insulation installers can save you valuable time in installation and can make the installation go much easier. This ultimately makes your project more efficient and cost effective.
Insulation installers offered three edge details.
1. Square Edge: When a roll of reflective foil insulation is designated as square edge, the edges of the material have no staple tabs or extra material allowing you to hang the material. This is similar to un-faced fiberglass insulation. Square edge insulation is attached through the face of the product. These products are best suited for ground applications and large runs of walls or ceilings.
2. Tab 2 Sides: When a roll of reflective foil insulation is designated as Tab 2 or Tabbed 2 sides, the roll has extra material or tabs on both sides allowing installation into studs or joists. This is similar to faced fiberglass insulation with installation tabs. This is the ideal product to use when you want the reflective foil insulation to run parallel with wall and ceiling bays.
3. Quick Seam: Insulation installers design this edge in a combination of installation tabs and an adhesive strip. Quick Seam is an excellent product to use when working with large runs of reflective foil insulation. It allows you to attach the material to itself making installation much easier. After installation is complete, you still need to tape all the seams with a high quality foil tape designed for use with reflective foil insulation. The adhesive strip aides in installation but is not to replace taping the seams which completes the radiant barrier.
Insulation installers use R3.5 batts which will decrease noise transference as well as heat flow. This will make your home cooler in summer, warmer in winter and will help save you hundreds of dollars each year in electricity bills. The best part is our insulation installers do all of this at NO charge to you.
