Polyshield Agri-Barrier foil/white, 95% reflective, perforated ceiling material has many applications. It is generally known for its superior performance in Agricultural Confinement barns. The white polyethylene surface makes for a superior washable ceiling material. Polyshield AgriBarrier consists of a highly reflective material which reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it. An optional perforated material is available to control condensation.
Our Ag Barrier is 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 tough versatile, perforated, and breathable material is suitable for numerous livestock and agriculture buildings.
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 Ag Barrier 8.5' folded Radiant Barrier is a 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.
Agriculture applications:
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
Product Highlights:
Livestock buildings tend to trap radiant heat in the summer and lose valuable warmth in the winter, making temperature control a real challenge. Ag-Barrier reflects up to 95% of radiant heat, helping to maintain a cooler interior during hot seasons and retain warmth in colder months.
-
A more stable environment means healthier animals, reduced stress, better feed efficiency, and ultimately, higher productivity.
