Product details:

EcoFoil Single Bubble Foil Insulation is primarily used in pole barns, metal buildings, basement walls, crawl spaces, and storage units located in moderate climates. Single bubble insulation combines the heat-shielding properties of solid radiant barrier with a layer of polyethylene bubbles, which acts as a built-in air gap that reduces contact between temperatures on either side of the product. The layer of bubbles effectively combats the formation of frost and condensation that can occur when temperature differences are extreme on either side of the material. It's very thin (approximately 1/8" thick), lightweight, and installs easily with minimal equipment.

Important - You must tape any seams on the insulation. By doing this, the product acts as one sheet and maintains the moisture barrier. EcoFoil Single Bubble Foil Insulation is not to be used for under slab applications as the radiant barrier product is exposed. We offer a specific EcoFoil Under Slab Insulation where the radiant barrier is encapsulated between two layers of bubbles.

R-Value Of Radiant Barriers

Rather than rating by R-value, all radiant barrier products are measured by their reflective and emissive properties. EcoFoil single bubble insulation is 96% reflective and 4% emissive, meaning the product only allows 4% of radiant heat to pass through.

There are some companies out there posting big R-Value numbers for their radiant barriers, but those numbers are rating the entirety of the system—including the product, air gap, and other building materials. In reality, most radiant barriers by themselves have little to no R-Value. If you need to satisfy a building code of a specified R-Value, we recommend the use of a traditional insulation in conjunction with our radiant barrier in order to meet code. For more information on R-values, see our How It Works page or contact a member of our friendly service team via chat, by calling (888) 349-3645, or using the form here.

Materials:

Ecofoil Single Bubble Reflective Insulation is made from a single layer of polyethylene bubbles, sandwiched between two highly reflective surfaces with a metalized coating. This product is classified as Class 1/Class A in accordance with the ASTM-E84-09 fire test standard. The product was mounted in accordance to ASTM-E2599-08. It is lightweight, durable, and is easy to handle and install.

10-year limited warranty:

This product carries a manufacturer’s 10-year limited warranty against material defects, including but not limited to de-lamination, surface imperfection, foil corrosion, and air retention. Please note: this warranty does not necessarily cover defects due to improper installation, natural disasters, normal wear and tear, or exposure to chemicals and gasses. View Manufacturer Warranty

Awesome!

Really great material and perfect for our needs:)

Bubble insulation is great

We purchased these rolls of bubble wrap for our floors on our shed to house build. It came highly recommend to help keep critters out and give warmth to our flooring. It is very easy to work with and put up. We live in a cold climate, so we look forward to seeing how it works for us. Delivery was super fast.

Fantastic!

We just finished installing it today, and it worked perfectly. Will be buying on the next building we do. Thank you.

works as advertised

we used as directed to add a new layer of thermal break in the big garage
lowered transmitted temps by 4-8 degrees F
so now garage ceiling temps are 72 to 75F on the foil, vice 80 or above
this is at the 16 foot level in a 26x 53 steel garage with r34 in ceiling and r34 on walls, with outside temps at 100-104

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose Single Bubble or Double Bubble Reflective Insulation?

Generally speaking, you should install single bubble in moderate, warmer climates (Southern US). Single Bubble Reflective Insulation will help prevent the formation of frost and condensation when temperatures are cold on one side of the material, and warm on the other. The larger these temperature differences are, the greater the risk of condensation. If you’re concerned about condensation and would like to maximize protection against it, choose Double Bubble Reflective Insulation.

What do the bubbles do?

The layer of bubbles provides a thermal break between hot and cold air, and helps eliminate condensation from forming in your structure. Single Bubble has a single layer of bubbles and is typically used in the southern states where temperature differences inside vs. outside your structure aren't as extreme as northern states with harsher winters.

How much tape do I need?

1 roll of tape will be needed for every 500 sq ft of reflective insulation. It's important to tape the seams between adjoining sheets—never use tape to attach the product directly to your structure. Taping the seams creates a vapor barrier when installed properly, and helps ensure the reflective properties of the insulation.

Which tape do I choose?

For Foil/Foil finishes, choose Metalized Reflective Insulation Tape
For White/Foil finishes, choose White Reflective Insulation Tape

Should I choose a white finish or a foil finish?

Some customers prefer the white finish as a visual preference. Both White and Foil finishes reflect radiant heat equally well.

How do I install Single Bubble Insulation?

Installation methods will vary, depending on your application. If your structure has exposed studs, the material can be stapled with a staple gun. If you have nothing to staple the product to, choose a spray adhesive like Spray-Lock Multi-Purpose Eco-Friendly Spray Adhesive. More information on installation methods can be found under the "Shop by Application" tab in the main menu at the top of this page.
