HVAC
APPLICATIONS: Our Low-E Insulation is quickly becoming the
insulation of choice for many quality HVAC contractors. Low-E
HVAC is constructed of 1/4" polyethylene foam faced on both
sides with 99.4% pure aluminum. Used mainly as a duct insulation
this product has many benefits for both the installer and the
homeowner versus typical duct insulation. Because Low-E is faced
on both sides with pure aluminum it has an extremely low
e-value(.03) which stops up to 97% of radiant heat transfer.
Low-E absorbs absolutely no moisture, so if condensation would
occur the insulation will not lose its performance value nor
will it mildew or deteriorate. It's totally non-toxic and there
are no adhesives used in its construction, resulting in a clean,
fiber free, hypo-allergenic duct wrap. Best of all, for the
installer it is lightweight, cuts with a razor knife, and
there's NO ITCH! Give it a try and find out for yourself. See
why Low-E HVAC Insulation is "the most versatile HVAC insulation
on the market today" RADIANT HEATING APPLICATIONS: A number of
products in the Low-E line lend themselves to various radiant
heating applications. Our standard double-sided Low-E or Econo-E
make an excellent crawlspace or floor joist insulation,
installed with or without radiant heating. Up to an r-20 can be
achieved when these products are installed on the bottom of a
minimum 2 x 8 floor joist. More importantly, you gain the added
benefit of a radiant barrier which reflects up to 97% of the
radiant heat back to where you want it, THE FLOOR! Mass
insulations don't do this; they simply store the heat and allow
it to pass slowly through to the other side. There are several
benefits to using Low-E in this application: Superior thermal
performance; high r-values; and the more important benefit of a
radiant barrier. It also provides an excellent vapor barrier
(when seams are sealed properly.) |
