EcoFoil Radiant Barrier is NEW and IMPROVED!
Solid radiant barrier consists of a solid (non-perforated) metalized aluminum foil sheet. Both sides of radiant barrier insulation have nearly 97% reflectivity, providing protection against the gain or loss of radiant heat. Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, foil insulation radiant barriers block the transfer of radiant heat rather than absorbing it. Metalized aluminum radiant barrier also acts as a block against convective air flow reducing this form of heat transfer as well.
Radiant barrier foil insulation has two properties that give it supreme performance against the transfer of radiant heat.
1) Reflectivity - Both sides of radiant barrier consist of metalized aluminum which reflects or blocks nearly 97% of radiant heat from transferring through the barrier.
2) Emissivity - The emissivity of a material refers to how much heat is absorbed and radiated from its surface. The natural elements of metalized aluminum foil insulation result in a very low emmitance of heat energy.

Why Buy EcoFoil Radiant Barrier Insulation?
1.) EcoFoil Attic Insulation is new and improved.
2.) Our metalized aluminum radiant barrier is the toughest in the industry. Each 1,000 square foot roll weighs 28 pounds and is virtually impossible to tear. If you are not satisfied we will return the product and refund you 100% of your purchase.
3.) EcoFoil Metalized Aluminum Radiant Barrier is the most reflective of it's kind and reflects nearly 97% of radiant heat.
4.) EcoFoil is the first to pass the ASTM E84-2009 test which is the industry standard for testing products for flame spread and smoke development.
All radiant barrier tested under older versions of the E84 test that have not been retested are not Class 1 / Class A products under the new testing criteria. The criteria was changed because the previous methods allowed for the product to be mounted inside the test chamber using poultry wire. This is not how radiant barrier is installed in real world applications such as an attic. Old products, made from pure aluminum will not pass the test without using poultry wire. These older products made from pure aluminum spread flames and smoke quickly when poultry wire is not used. Remember - We don't use poultry wire to install radiant barrier in an attic. With that said, please do yourself a big favor and only install a Class 1 / Class A insulation product in your attic.
5.) Our radiant barrier is a Class 1 / Class A insulation product under the new ASTM E84-2009 testing method. Learn about the ASTM E84 fire test .
Our radiant barrier insulation is the first and currently the only radiant barrier being sold online that is both made from metalized aluminum and has passed the most recent ASTM E-84 testing requirements as a Class 1 / Class A radiant barrier. What does that mean to you? It means if there is a fire, our product will spread less flame, less smoke, and ultimately perform better compared to a product that does not pass under the new ASTM standard. It means that anyone who says they have a Class 1 / Class A tested radiant barrier under ASTM E84 and has not tested under the new ASTM E84-2009 standard, is not telling you everything. It also means that they have likely not tested under the new ASTM E84 mounting method (ASTM E2599) which is the required method of installing radiant barrier in the test chamber. The likely reason is because their product won't pass the test. EcoFoil is proud to be the first in the industry to bring you a Class 1 / Class A fire rated product. To learn more about the new ASTM E84-2009 standard, and the new mounting method, ASTM E2599, call an EcoFoil Customer Service Associate today. In the meantime, feel confident that you are buying the best product your money can buy.

6.) It's easy to use, ships fast, and is priced the same or better as other products that will not pass the E84-2009 test.
7.) Your satisfaction is guaranteed. We'll be here before, during, and after your purchase with excellent customer service!
How can I be sure I'm buying a product that is a Class 1 / Class A insulation product by today's standards?
First of all, if the product is 99% pure aluminum, it is not a Class 1 / Class A rated product under the new testing requirement ASTM E84-2009. If someone tells you there product is simply an "E84" product, they did not say it was E84-2009. In order for radiant barrier to pass the new E84-2009 test, it must be made from metalized aluminum, not 99% pure aluminum. Please contact an EcoFoil Customer Service Associate if you need clarification, or would like more information about ASTM testing requirements.
