HeatShield Products

HeatShield Radiant Barrier products are for use in ceilings and under floors in residential, agricultural, and commercial buildings. They are a strong thin sheet material with no insulating bubble layers like Astro-Foil. They serve as a radiant barrier in attics with regular mass insulation, under floors and in crawl spaces, and in metal building applications.

R+HeatShield - Low cost product for residential and price sensitive markets.

HeatShield II - Commercial/Industrial grade product available to meet current designs and specifications. Aluminum Foil on one side and MPET on the other.

HeatShield III - Recommended for new commercial and industrial designs. Meets or exceeds HeatShield II specifications and is preferred by installers. Available at the same price as HeatShield II. Aluminum Foil on both sides. May also be used in residential applications.

Specifications:

HeatShield Rolls

The tiny holes in the Perforated version of HEATSHIELD allow moisture to escape from your regular insulation.

The solid version may be used in applications other than over conventional insulation.
