Fi-Foil’s new Flash & FOIL Frame Wall Insulation is an improved insulation solution designed to save you money. The results are superior to the Flash and Batt approach that has been recently employed.
Combine Fi-Foil’s VR Plus Shield® Reflective Insulation with spray foam insulation to reduce costs and increase R-Values in any frame wall construction.
Simply spray a desired thickness of foam on the back-side of a frame wall – this seals the joints and provides thermal protection. Then apply Fi-Foil’s VR Plus Shield® Reflective Insulation to the face of the studs. The three layers of VR Plus Shield® expand to form reflective air spaces in the remaining portion of the cavity.
Benefits
Why replace fiberglass batt with Fi-Foil’s VR Plus Shield® Reflective Insulation?
• Higher R-Value…R-values in a 2" x 4" wall range from R-11 to R-20, based on the foam manufacturer’s claims. A complete table of R-values determined by the thickness and type of spray foam is available by calling 1-800-448-3401.
• Less Cost…vs. fiberglass batts.
• Stops Radiation…as a reflective insulation, VR Plus Shield’s multiple layers separate to create three reflective air spaces to virtually eliminate heat transfer.
• Less Storage Space…500 square foot rolls are easy to store and transport.
• Vapor Retarder…available in a Hi-Perm perforated version that allows vapor transmission and a standard non-perforated version that functions as a vapor retarder, if required by code.
• Green Building Material…contributes to LEED and NAHB credits.
