REFLECTIVE INSULATION & RADIANT BARRIERS

Silver Shield™

Fi-Foil’s Silver Shield is an insulating product composed of multiple layers of low emittance (low-e) materials designed to significantly reduce radiant heat transfer. The inside layer is a metalized polymer. The outside layer is reinforced aluminum foil kraft paper bonded with a fire retardant adhesive. The layers expand when installed to form a reflective air space to provide enhanced thermal performance and protect the low emittance surface from the performance reducing effects of dust accumulation. Since metalized and foil-based aluminum products have a near zero water vapor permeance, Silver Shield is perforated to allow water vapor transmission.

Radiant Shield

Fi-Foils Radiant Shield is a heavy duty two-sided aluminum foil Radiant Barrier. Designed and reinforced with woven polyethylene, it provides industrial strength for any Radiant Barrier application. The product is also designed with perforations to allow vapor transmission.

HY-Fi^®

HY-Fi is a cutting edge hybrid insulation product that provides a very cost-effective approach to creating high R-value walls. The HY-Fi hybrid insulation system combines low emittance surfaces and enclosed air spaces. When used in combination with traditional insulation, such as fiberglass batts or spray foam, it creates a superior insulating system at an unmatched price point. HY-Fi is an especially attractive solution in areas with stringent building codes as it provides insulators and builders with a versatile, low cost, and easy to install hybrid system that achieves R-21 in small wall spaces.

VR Plus Shield™

VR Plus Shield is a multi-layer reflective insulation for use on furred-out masonry walls. This unique insulation has multiple layers that separate when installed to create three reflective air spaces, with R-values up to R-7.1 on 1.5” furring. VR Plus is available in both a standard, non-perforated version that functions as a vapor retarder, and Hi-Perm, a perforated version that allows vapor transmission depending on the design of the building envelope and climate zone requirements.  VR Plus is available with a staple tab for wood framing or with a tape tab for metal framing.

M-Shield™

An advanced insulation used on furred-out masonry walls, M-Shield™ is designed to resist mold growth by combining a synthetic polymer facing on premium grade aluminum foil. The synthetic polymers contain no cellulose and therefore reduce the risk of exposure to create safer and better air quality. When tested to ASTM standards, M-Shield™ exhibited zero growth of mold or mildew. Remarkably easy to install, Fi-Foil reflective insulation is one of the fastest growing technologies in the world—designed to get you more R-value for less, saving labor and material.

With third-party verified code compliance plus an industry leading 10-year transferrable warranty, in more humid climates, M-Shield™ is a smart choice to insulate all your masonry buildings.

AA2 Vapor Shield™

An insulation solution used on furred-out masonry walls, AA2 is remarkably easy to install and effective in improving building performance and comfort. Fi-Foil reflective insulation is one of the fastest growing technologies in the world. It’s designed to get you R-value for less, saving labor and material. With third-party verified code compliance plus an industry leading 10-year transferrable warranty, AA2 is a smart choice to insulate all your masonry buildings.

RetroShield^®

RetroShield® is a revolutionary system developed for the metal building industry. Attractive, high performing and remarkably easy to install, RetroShield® is ideal for retrofitting and upgrading insulation systems in new and existing metal buildings. Patented Clip & Pin components provide an extraordinary one-pass installation that can dramatically reduce or eliminate down-time for the operation or building owner.

Our patented Clip & Pin components offer a mechanical attachment to the building frame without bands or other support mechanisms required by other systems on the market.

SkyFlex

SkyFlex is a tough, flexible air barrier for use in residential and commercial building applications. The product consists of two layers of aluminum deposited to a layer of woven polyethylene. When exposed to air films or enclosed air spaces in building cavities, SkyFlex’s low-emittance exterior layers reduce radiant heat transfer.

FSK Shield™

RF Shield

Fi-Foils RF Shield is a multi-layered specialty barrier with security shielding to block electromagnetic (EM) and radio frequency (RF) interference in order to protect highly sensitive information. Designed for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) rooms, areas where a TEMPEST enclosure is required or anywhere frequency blocking is desired. RF Shield has two (2) outer layers of 99% Pure Aluminum Foil with an inner layer of Fiberglass reinforcing and Kraft paper, made in the USA.
RF Shield reduces sound attenuation and meets or exceeds minimum requirements for shielding effectiveness at 378 frequencies as tested by an accredited NSA Approved TEMPEST facility. RF Shield provides high performance frequency shielding with an average RF Attenuation of 73 dB.
Compliance and Approvals:

• Meets ASTM F3057-16 Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness for Glazings
• Meets ASTM D4935-99 Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness for Planar Materials
• Meets or exceeds NSA minimum requirements with RF Attenuation
• Meets ASTM E84 Flammability with Flame Spread 15, Smoke Developed 5

RBI Shield™

RBI Shield™ is a multipurpose reflective bubble insulation for residential, commercial and institutional markets.
When used for a Sealed Crawl Space application provides an air and moisture barrier to improve indoor air quality and control pests. The system is a vapor retarder with added R-value to keep the floor warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer for greater efficiency and comfort. Subsequently, less load on HVAC units in some cases can prolong the life of these systems. Available in single and double bubble versions; standard widths of 16", 24", 48", 66" or 72" and 96" available through special order; square edge, staple tab or integrated tape tab; all rolls 125 in length.
Compliance and Approvals:

• Meets or Exceeds ASTM C1224
• Meets International Building, Residential and Energy Codes
• Meets Florida Building, Residential and Energy Conservation Codes

SkyFlex VT

SkyFlex VT is a vapor transmitting flexible air barrier for use in residential and commercial buildings. Product consists of a patented vapor transmitting CLAF® fabric reinforced with metalized film. Vapor transmitting air barriers are a leading choice among architects and building science experts who advocate letting the envelope dry to reduce risk of moisture accumulation and increase overall indoor air quality. When exposed to air films or enclosed air spaces in building cavities, SkyFlex VT’s low-emittance metalized surfaces reduce radiant heat transfer for greater efficiency and comfort.

Mechanical Fastener

Our Mechanical Fastener Systems are designed to work with all types of metal framing. The Patented Clip-Pin and Washer components make installation quick and easy to significantly reduce downtime for retrofits and save labor with new construction.

The same trusted components used in our RetroShield System® are now available and sold separately. The Mechanical Fastener Systems work well with any metal building insulation (MBI), bubble insulation or facing. Fi-Foil mechanical fasteners can easily handle a backload of cellulose or fiberglass less than R30. When installed 5’ on-center spaced 18” apart, the Clip-Pin Fastener System designed for purlins can provide a mechanical connection strong enough to securely hold in excess of 60 lbs of mass insulation.
