We know that foil makes a good insulator because of its very highly reflective properties, but does a thin layer of foil actually perform as well as a thick slab of insulation? Aluminum foil is a good reflector of radiant heat and a poor insulator of conduction and convection. Similar to the kind of insulation used on spacecraft to protect vital components, this foil offers unparalleled insulating properties over. Learn about the different types of foil faced insulation, such as foil fiberglass, bubble wrap, prodex and rigid panels, and how they can reflect heat and improve energy efficiency.
