Overview:

Polyair Reflective Insulation combines thermal reflective layers of pure aluminium foil with a series of multi layered inner core compositions. Suitable for commercial, industrial, residential and agricultural roofs, ceilings, walls and suspended floors.

Product Description:

Polyair insulation blankets are comprised of a nominal 4.5-16 mm thick and 1200 mm wide fire retardant polyethylene bubble film or cross linked XPE fire retardant foam layer between two layers of reflective and low-emittance aluminium foil, which reflects up to 95-97% of radiant heat. One side of Polyair is treated with a light coating to reduce glare during installation. Polyair products are used for roofs, ceilings, walls and suspended floors.

Polyair provides effective energy efficiency without creating human or environmental risks associated with airborne fibres or Volatile Organic Compounds (manufacturer’s claim).

Polyair is safe to handle, no protective equipment such as gloves or breathing apparatus is required. The products are fibre free, non itchy and non cancerous. Polyair is also water proof which ensures no moisture retention, no fungi or bacterial growth.
