Reflective insulation roof underlayment

rFOIL Reflective Insulation is an effective ultraviolet-resistant energy barrier that can greatly reduce the transfer of radiant heat through siding and roofing. It works by reflecting as much as 97 percent of the radiant energy away from its surface. It cuts energy costs, is easy to install and is fire-rated. rFOIL Reflective Insulation consists of polyethylene bubbles bonded and sandwiched between a radiant metalized foil and white polyethylene sheet. It can be taped to purlins, stapled to rafters or studs, or rolled out onto a roof deck or existing shingles before installation of metal.
