Solavis RadiantShield Insulation has been developed as both a vapour barrier and a high-performance insulation. RadiantShield is designed to combat heat gain and heat loss in all three forms (radiation, convection, and conduction), resulting in thermal performance superior to many conventional insulations.
RadiantShield is suitable for use in the Residential ceiling, roof, wall and underfloor applications. Solavis RadiantShield insulation is made up of a layer of fire-retardant polyethene air bubbles sandwiched between two 99+% pure aluminium foil. It reflects back up to 96% of the radiant heat to achieve thermal comfort inside the home all year around.
Solavis RadiantShield is a clean, safe and fibre-free insulation designed to replace conventional bulk insulations. It is in full compliance with ASNZS 4859.1 and achieves over R3.0 for summer in residential ceiling applications.
Because our reflective insulation is foil facing on both sides, it will provide benefit by reflecting heat for both summer and winter conditions (compared to single-sided foils which only reflect heat in one direction).
