Space Age™ Reflective Bubble Insulation is a lightweight, pliable insulation that contains no scratchy, harmful fibers. Space Age consists of a compact diamond shape polyethylene air bubble sandwich between reflective aluminum foil. Space Age™ Reflective Insulation is excellent as a primary insulation for buildings of all types. Space Age™ Reflective Insulation is safe to handle, lightweight and works very well in areas with limited space. Space Age™ Reflective Insulation has numerous applications for residential buildings, commercial, industrial and agricultural projects.

Space Age™ Reflective Bubble Insulation reflects 97% of radiant heat energy, keeping buildings cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Why Space Age™ Reflective Bubble Insulation Works...
Radiant heat or infrared works in the same way as visible light; heat is generated when this energy is absorbed. Common insulation products, like most building materials, will absorb a large percentage of the radiant energy they encounter. Testing has shown the Space Age surface reflects 97% of radiant heat.
