Radiant barrier is the greatest invention and solution to a well-protected wine room. Since condensation is the number one problem of a wine room, radiant barrier stops the heat exchange reducing the condensation factor by 95%. Once you eliminate the huge fluctuations in temperature from the warm walls to the cool room, condensation will not […]
Read moreMulti-layering should be the talk of the town regarding insulation! NASA has perfected MLI blankets enabling us to get to and from space safely, protecting the equipment inside and out, the capsules, landing vehicles, rovers, telescopes and astronauts. My question is, why has it taken the rest of us so long applying it to so […]

In the 1850’s he experimented with the effect of insulating using high and low emissive metals facing air […]
Read moreThe simple answers to radiant floor heat, “To heat, or Not to Heat?” That is the question. Radiant floor heat is one of the most energy efficient ways to heat a room and will provide energy savings for the long term. Floor heat provides the most uniform heating available today. Forced-air systems use vents to […]
Read moreRadiant barrier and metal buildings is the greatest, smartest, most energy efficient amalgamation possible. Metal buildings are exceptionally conductive which, creates numerous energy use issues. Applying just thermal insulation (conductive) is inadequate due to the constant and gargantuan heat gain and loss in metal structures. As stated in our article, Cold Climate (Insulation and Radiant […]
Read moreWhy? Because this revolutionary idea on an “old” theme is the installation answer to contractors’ dreams. The product was developed with pole barn, metal building and end user in mind however, it works for residential use too, and in a big way. This new variation on a theme, is twice as stiff as other bubble […]
Read moreThermal bridging accounts for up to 30% heat lost in residential buildings and heat gained in metal buildings. With ONE very simple installation application, 3 layer (multi-layer) bubble foil radiant barrier, not only can the thermal insulation be left out of the install but the thermal bridge can be broken when placing the last layer […]
Read moreThe first, fastest, cheapest and, easiest place to begin insulating a garage, is the garage door. Most doors are made of aluminum which, as a metal, heats and cools according to the weather. Garage door insulating KITS are easy to find and fast to install. I used one of our kits on my garage door, […]
Read moreMost of the foil bubble product used for perishable items, does not achieve the level of reflectivity where it can be called radiant barrier and, the bubbles are smaller and fragile. In the world of packaging, it is not always about ensuring someone’s order arrives safely and still cold. Usually, it is a tug-of-war between […]
