DeYou aluminum foil facing is typically made of a layer of aluminum foil laminated to a backing material (7u foil and 10×9 mesh glass cloth, laminated with F/R glue). This combination enhances the mechanical strength, and fire resistance of the material, and as well as its ability to resist ignition and prevent the spread of flames.
Some of the benefits of using aluminum foil facing in insulation systems include improved thermal performance, moisture resistance, fire resistance, and overall durability. It can help reduce energy costs, improve indoor comfort, and contribute to a more sustainable and energy-efficient building.
Our F/R aluminum foil facing is available in various thicknesses to suit different requirements, offering durability against physical damage and environmental factors. It can be easily applied to various surfaces and structures, often using staples, nails, or adhesive. It is lightweight and easy to handle, cutting down on labor time and costs. Aluminum foil insulation facings are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial insulation applications. They are often used in conjunction with other insulation materials, such as fiberglass, foam board, or mineral wool, to enhance the thermal performance of the insulation system.
