- Does it really keep items cool or warm in transit?
- The reflective foil slows radiant heat transfer and the bubbles trap air, which helps steady temperatures. It slows temperature change rather than holding a set temperature, so pair it with a cold pack or insulated box for perishables.
- How does it compare with plain bubble wrap?
- Plain bubble wrap cushions but does not reflect heat. This adds a metallised foil face for thermal reflection, so it does both jobs, though the foil makes it stiffer and less conforming around odd shapes.
- Can I use it for building or loft insulation?
- It is used for sheds, warehouses, campervans and reflective barriers. It is a thin reflective layer, not a substitute for thick mineral wool or foam in a heated building, and check local fire rules before installing it.
- How thick is the cushioning?
- The bubble layer is 10mm, so it pads light and medium fragile items well. Very heavy or sharp-edged loads can crush the bubbles, so add extra layers or rigid support for those.
- What is on the roll?
- One roll of metallised foil bubble wrap measuring 750mm wide by 50m long. It can be cut with scissors or a knife to the size you need.
- Which side faces the heat?
- The shiny foil face is the reflective side. For best results, face it toward the heat source or the open air gap, and leave an air space where you can.
