Radiant Barrier Installation Sheet for Subfloors | InfraStop®
Installing InfraStop® Radiant Barrier Foil Insulation underneath sub-floors is an excellent way to stop radiant heat loss to basements, increase comfort, and lower utility costs. InfraStop® is safe, simple, and easy to install especially in under sub-floor applications because this is one of the few times there are no obstructions. InfraStop® is unaffected by moisture and humidity and creates an excellent vapor barrier. InfraStop® insulation provides a radiant barrier to stop heat loss and adds R-Value to existing insulation.
