Polyshield RadWrap foil/white, featuring low emittance (E=5%) and 95% heat reflectivity, is a versatile and perforated material with numerous applications. Whether used as house wrap, in agriculture buildings, as roof underlayment, or as a crawlspace floor covering, RadWrap proves its adaptability.
Energy efficiency:
Polyshield RadWrap foil/white, 95% reflective, perforated 8.5 wide material has many applications. This 8.5' material was designed specifically as a house wrap, increasing your R-value, improving energy efficiency. The 95% Radiant Heat reflectivity when installed against 1" of air space provides a constant R value of R4.5. Thus, the additional R value to exiting walls R value improves the house/building Over All Thermal Transmission Value (OTTV) and energy optimization passive solution.
This product saves you time, money, and energy on installation. The white polyethylene surface makes for a superior washable wall material. Polyshield RadWrap consists of a highly reflective material which reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it. This perforated material is available to control condensation.
Benefits:
When employed as house wrap, RadWrap significantly improves air tightness, adds R-Value to the overall building envelope, and minimizes heat gain in the summer. Additionally, it effectively reduces condensation, optimizing overall insulation efficiency. The perforated model is especially suited for hybrid solutions when installed with mass insulation such as wool, foam, or fiberglass, providing a comprehensive and efficient insulation solution for diverse building needs.
The white polyethylene surface makes for a superior washable ceiling material. Polyshield RadWrap consists of a highly reflective material which reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it. An optional solid material is available.
Agriculture applications:
Polyshield AgriBarrier™ is specifically designed for agriculture use in confinement barns, offering a cost-effective insulation alternative for the industry. Composed of aluminum and polyethylene, this unique product stands out in the agriculture market.
Studies conducted at the University of Iowa highlight the remarkable impact of AgriBarrier. By eliminating the 'black-globe effect' through the use of reflective metalized film insulation, improvements are immediately noticeable. In poultry settings, broiler houses experience enhanced feed conversion, while independent studies reveal reduced heat leading to decreased animal mortality rates and improved feed conversion for pork producers. The addition of AgriBarrier, reflective metal building insulation, brings about these positive changes, resulting in better weight gain and overall health for animals.
AgriBarrier insulation functions by reflecting 95% of heat radiation back to its source. It's easy to install and delivers superior energy savings, reducing indoor temperatures in summer by up to 60 degrees. The reflective properties also aid in conserving heat during winter, contributing to increased energy efficiency. AgriBarrier has the potential to save up to 50% on cooling and heating bills. Furthermore, it seamlessly complements traditional insulation, enhancing the overall effectiveness of insulating materials
