Reflectix is a polyethylene bubble wrap-like reflective insulator that you can use to reflect heat. The bubble wrap insulates the air space and provides strength to sustain the reflective foil surface. All the massive bales of fiberglass, foam, and denim can seem intimidating when looking for insulation. So, when you see Reflectix, it can appear to be a respite from all others because it is compact, tidy, and clean, with thermal-blocking R-values. Reflectix is a type of insulation for various applications and an ideal option if you cannot or will not insulate the ceiling using fiberglass or foam. Also, you can use it for confined spaces where thick insulation and other types of insulation are ineffective. Here are other ways of using Reflectix: Reflectix can help you augment dense insulation with a reflective one to produce a more complete, insulated home. As a bonus, its reflective surface would increase the amount of light in your space. Reflectix can help with any area of your home where chilly air is flowing in. Although many people prefer caulking, there may be instances where Reflectix will better prevent airflow. You can wrap Reflectix around pipes and heating vents or drape it around your water heater as a thermal blanket if your local codes allow it since it is so flexible. Some homeowners apply Reflectix to their garage doors’ inside to assist in insulating these rooms for use as workshops. You can also use Reflectix as basement ceiling insulation when you attach it to the centers of the floor joists above. Even though Reflectix works best with airspaces, there are some applications where adding airspaces is impractical, such as around vents, pipes, and water heaters. One advantage of utilizing Reflectix over fiberglass insulation is that it is resistant to mold and mildew. Therefore, you can clean it even if mold and mildew grow on your material, unlike fiberglass insulation which you should throw away when it gets moldy.
