TempShield™ Double Bubble
Foil/Foil Insulation
 
TempShield™ Double Bubble Foil is our
top-of-the-line Reflective Insulation, and is available
in 300 and 500 Sq. Ft. Rolls. Widths: 4', 5', 6', and by
Special Order 8', and 10' widths.
TempShield™ Double Bubble Foil is
two layers of 5/32" barrier bubble film laminated between two layers of foil.
TempShield™ Double Bubble Foil is designed to be
used for for water heater, metal and
commercial buildings (photos 1 & 2), stud walls,
roofing systems, basements, and crawl spaces when
reflectivity and higher R factors are required. Vapor
Retardant.

Thermal resistance measurements have been made according to the most
recent test revisions using a calibrated hot box operated in accordance with ASTM C 976. Analysis of
results was done in accordance in ASTM C 1224. The R-values observed are highly dependent on method of
installation.
How Radiant Heat Transfers Through Roofs
 |
TempShield™ is
used as insulation against radiant heat transfer and can be used to its greatest advantage in
instances where radiation is the predominant means of heat transfer. It is the bright
aluminum surface of all TempShield™ properties. This happens in two ways:
TempShield™ is an excellent reflector of all long wave
radiant heat that strikes it - reflecting up to 97% of all radiant heat.
TempShield™ will reradiate only 3% of
heat in which it comes in close physical contact, compared with the approximate 90%
reradiation of ordinary building materials, at the same temperature.
