Reflectix Reflective Foil Insulation vs túlan Self-Adhesive Aluminum Foil Insulation Roll

Both rolls reflect up to 97% of radiant heat and stick on with self-adhesive backing, so the real split is thickness and size. The Reflectix roll is a thin foil-and-polyethylene sheet in a 1x5m size, best for wrapping radiators, sheds, camper walls and other large flat surfaces. The túlán roll is a 5mm foam-backed pad in a smaller 1x2m size, better for car doors, engine bays and tight spots where padding and sound damping matter. Owners of thin foil rolls report they tear easily and do little for conducted heat; foam-backed pads hold up better against vibration but cover less area.

• Choose the Reflectix roll if you need to cover a large flat area such as a roof, wall, floor or radiator and want a thin, light, waterproof foil sheet.
• Choose the túlán roll if you are insulating a car door, trunk, engine bay or other tight spot and want a thicker foam-backed pad that also damps sound.
