- Can this replace fiberglass batts in a wall?
- No. On its own it rates around R-1.1 in a wall cavity. Use it over batts or as a radiant barrier, not as the only insulation.
- How do I get the higher R-4.2 rating?
- Leave an air gap on at least one reflective side, such as across rafters or furring strips. Flat against a surface it drops to its lowest rating.
- What is in the double pack?
- Two Reflectix BP48010 rolls, each 48 inches wide by 10 feet long, for 40 sq ft total coverage.
- Can I use it around ducts and water heaters?
- Yes, that is a common use. Wrap with an air gap where possible and tape the seams with foil tape.
- How do I cut and fasten it?
- Scissors or a utility knife cut it cleanly. Staple through washers or tape edges so the foil does not tear.
- Does it work in cold weather?
- It is rated for -60 to 180 F, so it handles cold attics and crawl spaces. It reflects radiant heat in both directions.
