GHR has set a new industry standard in radiant barrier. Our Radiant barrier is made of a thin layer, 5 mil, of woven polyethylene that is sandwiched between two layers of a highly reflective metalized coating. With this polyethylene core the radiant barrier cannot be torn or ripped. Our radiant barrier is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, fiber free, and does not support nesting by rodents or insects. Our radiant barrier has tiny perforations that provide breath-ability and moisture vapor to escape. These perforations in the radiant barrier prevent condensation buildup making foil insulation a great choice for attic insulation.
Our perforated radiant barrier has a Class A/Class 1 fire rating and meets all the most current standards and codes for radiant barriers including the newest Fire Code (ASTM E84 / ASTM 2599) and new Corrosivity Testing (ASTM D3310). Perforated radiant barrier reflects heat back at the source instead of absorbing it like traditional fiberglass insulation.
Having a Class A/Class 1 fire rating does not mean the product will not burn; all radiant barrier type products will burn, the metalized product is not fireproof. If you still need convincing, go to the ASTM website and you can read summary pages of each standard, don’t just take our word for it, go straight to the source!
The classifications assigned based on the testing are just a measure of the burning characteristics of each product tested, not the fireproof-ness of the products. Aluminum covered radiant barrier products are pretty difficult to start burning, but once they flash (catch fire) the polyethylene scrim inside will continue to burn at a relatively slow rate.
Typical Uses: Under Roof, Roof joists, Cathedral Ceilings, Attics, Walls, House Wrap Floors, Crawl Spaces, Metal Buildings, Weed barrier, SCIF’s, Barns, Garages, Storage Units, Duct Work, Sheds, Warehouses, Grow Rooms, Greenhouses.
Product Features
