 Low-E Insulation has been manufactured, tried and tested in America for over sixteen years where it has proved itself again and again. We have now started to expand into Europe where it has continued to grow, because no matter what climate the problem is always the same- you want to stop the hot from getting to the cold. Whether the heat is outside trying to get in, or the heat is inside and you want to keep it where it is.
Low-E is manufactured using a patented heat lamination process, so there are no glues or adhesives used which can fuel fires or break down over time especially when exposed to hot and cold as often as insulation is.
- Resists all three forms of heat transfer very successfully.
- Low-E is manufactured using 40% recycled polyethylene foam for its core material.
- With a perm rate of 0.008 it is an excellent vapour barrier. Low-E won’t allow moisture to pass down through itself, unlike other reflectives and even if does get wet, it won’t affect the product or performance. So all moisture problems are eliminated.
- Because of its closed cell make-up, condensation will not form in the core of Low-E Insulation.
- The construction of Low-E means it will self seal around any nails or screws that puncture it during installation.
- Low-E is non toxic, there are no fibres to stick in your skin or get in your eyes and there are no carcinogens to inhale.
- Unlike some Insulations on the market Low-E doesn’t off gas over time and negatively effect indoor air quality.
- There is absolutely no safety equipment required to handle or install Low-E.
- It is very light and with 45m2 in a roll it Saves time, space and money.
- Its core design means that Low-E will not sag after installation.
- Low-E has sound deadening qualities similar to mass insulation.
- Low-E resists the growth of mould and fungi. It won’t attract birds or mice to nest.
- Low-E has a CLASS A/ CLASS 1 Fire Rating.
Warm air carries more moisture than cold air. When the warm air that is in a mass insulation cools down the moisture from the air is left behind, it is then absorbed by the insulation causing the insulation to become compressed. Once this happens, the insulation's ability to perform to standard drops tremendously. This happens more so in winter, when there is a greater difference between inside and outside temperature. In extreme cases the insulation must be removed. Low-E will protect a mass insulation from moisture absorption extendiong the life of your insulation system. Low-E helps meet lower U-value requirements in smaller cavities and unlike other reflectives, it self seals around fixing and it’s core won’t be effected by moisture. After over ten years in production that’s a guarantee.
