General information:
RadWrap/HouseWrap - Add R value to your building!
Introducing our white 8.5' wide radiant barrier (folded to 4' or 48"), featuring reinforced foil/white material with low emittance (E=5%) and 95% heat reflectivity. This versatile, perforated, and breathable material is suitable for numerous applications.
Our extra-wide, economical white radiant barrier is highly durable, made with a strong, reinforced, abuse-proof backing material, and is the perfect solution for attics and building wraps. This unique insulation product covers an expansive 1062 sq ft, sized at 8.5' by 125 feet. The product is designed to meet and exceed ASTM standards.
Our white 8.5' folded Radiant Barrier is a minimum 6-mil product that undergoes rigorous international testing, ensuring compliance with standards for surface emittance (E=5%), water vapor transmission, surface burning characteristics, corrosivity, tear resistance, and adhesive performance. As a result, it proudly achieves a superior Class A / Class 1 fire rating. This building product not only satisfies but surpasses local, state, and federal building codes.
.Incorporating white radiant barrier into the building envelope (crawlspace, siding, walls, attic, roof, metal buildings, agricultural buildings) is the most economical and easiest way to minimize heat gain and reduce moisture content. This directly leads to better overall insulation, improved R-Value, energy savings, enhanced comfort, improved building durability.
House Wrap - 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.
Product 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.

-
Experience year-round savings on utility bills with our commercial-grade radiant barrier attic foil. Weighing in at a substantial 28 lbs (could be as twice as heavier than some competitors), this highly reflective foil effectively blocks 95% of radiant heat gain and loss, maintaining consistent home temperatures.
-
Designed for easy installation, this DIY-friendly radiant barrier can be installed by simply stapling it to the underside of attic roof rafters with a staple gun. For comprehensive coverage, don't forget to also install it on all vertical exterior walls in the attic, including gable walls. This ensures complete insulation between the indoor attic area and the outdoors, maximizing the efficiency of your insulation.
-
Corrosion free:
The product is specifically designed to conform to ASTM standards for surface corrosion, guaranteeing its longevity, sustained low emittance, and high reflectance of radiant heat. This compliance ensures that the product maintains its integrity and performance over time, effectively reflecting radiant heat and maintaining its energy-saving properties. By meeting these stringent requirements, the product not only provides immediate benefits in terms of energy efficiency and comfort but also offers long-term reliability and durability, making it a smart investment for any building or renovation project -
Energy savings:
The white radiant barrier insulation significantly impacts energy savings, particularly when installed in attic spaces. Studies have indicated the potential for energy savings of up to 77%, with the actual savings dependent on factors such as the quality of installation, the climate zone, and other relevant considerations. Despite these variables, it's unequivocally established that incorporating a radiant barrier in the attic substantially reduces heat gain, thereby playing a crucial role in lowering energy bills. This makes the RB+ not just an effective solution for enhancing the energy efficiency of a home but also a proven method for achieving considerable cost savings over time -
Carbon footprint reduction:
Incorporating radiant barriers into a home significantly contributes to reducing the house's carbon footprint. By enhancing the energy efficiency of the building, radiant barriers ensure that less energy is required to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. This reduction in energy consumption directly translates to decreased reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions, thereby contributing less to pollution. As homes become more energy-efficient, they play a part in the broader efforts to mitigate environmental impact and promote sustainability. This move not only benefits homeowners through reduced energy bills but also aligns with global efforts to address climate change by lowering overall emissions
