MicroFoil – Insulation Option for Your Post or Stud Frame Building
MicroFoil is a clean, non-toxic, easy to install, self-taping reflective foil insulation and vapor barrier that provides increased comfort, energy efficiency, and lower heating and cooling costs. It dramatically reduces heat gain and heat loss in your structure by reflecting the radiant energy!
Reflects Heat – MicroFoil effectively reflects a heat source as opposed to absorbing and dissipating it as fiberglass insulations do. This reflectivity works both ways: radiating summer heat outward and retaining winter heat inside.
Easy to Use – Because MicroFoil is made with plies of Microfoam (an extremely low-density, flexible polypropylene foam), it is much lighter weight and easier to handle than other reflective or fiberglass insulation products.
Smooth Finished Surfaces – MicroFoil will provide equal or better insulation properties when compared to much thicker 2″-3″ fiberglass insulation, but will not produce an “oilcan” effect like thicker insulation can. MicroFoil is made with high quality reinforced aluminum foil film or a finished white reinforced polypropylene aluminum foil film. Choose the white-foil finish when a clean washable interior finish is needed and to give your structure a brighter look.
Condensation Control – When installed correctly, MicroFoil provides an excellent thermal and vapor barrier, greatly reducing condensation build-up.
Simple, Safe Installation – In addition, MicroFoil does not contain hazardous chemicals or materials that can cause itching or allergic reactions and all that is needed to install is a utility knife and staple gun. It does not require masks or long clothing for installation. To make installation fast and easy, every roll of MicroFoil has a patented self-taping flange running along one edge eliminating the need and the extra cost of seaming tape.
MicroFoil is an excellent building material for Montana. We know that the weather in Western Montana, Missoula, Hamilton, Bitterroot and the Flathead can be unpredictable with extreme heat and cold. MicroFoil works by radiating summer heat and retaining heat in the winter. Find out more by calling Alpine Custom Builders today at (406)777-7101.
