InfraStop® Bubble Insulation in Costa Rica: Under Metal Roof, Over Metal Purlins with Furring What a great project. Look at InfraStop® insulation in action in this beautiful masonry home in Costa Rica. We spoke with our customer M.F prior to him building his home. He told us he wanted to use...
Check out this video showing a shipping container insulated with reflective bubble foil insulation. Awhile ago, we provided the insulation for a shipping container building overlooking the Freedom Tower and Statue of Liberty in New York City. We’ve been slow to get the footage of the project out, finally putting the...
There are many reasons to insulate crawlspaces with InfraStop® insulation. Using Foil Double Bubble InfraStop® reduces heat loss and keeps floors warmer. It also prevents condensation from causing mold and bacterial growth as well as prevents ground moisture from causing dry-rot. InfraStop® is an excellent vapor and radon barrier and deters insects...
Sometimes deciding the best way to insulate your project can be difficult. You must be somewhat like a detective and really examine your particular project, because each application is different.

Foil insulation, bubble foil insulation, and reflective foil all work the same way. By being reflective, they block radiant heat using radiant barrier technology. Conventional insulation does not work the same way. Remember, there are only three modes of heat transfer; conductive, convective, and radiant. When you want to keep things...
If we had to name one of the best performing applications for our Tempshield bubble foil, it would have to be for crawlspace insulation. Solid r-values are achieved in this application as well as foil insulation’s proven ability in moisture prone areas. There are two standard insulation methods. You can run...
What actually happens in your attic and how are radiant barriers effective? To answer this question we need to look at how your attic works in the form of heat transfer. As the heat from the sun warms your roof deck, this heat is passed through the roof into the roofing materials...
Reflective foil insulation or radiant barriers block 96% of radiant heat transfer. In attic applications this is the most common form of heat transfer. In the summer the sun heats up the rooftop.
