The scientist of NASA were confronted for developing an insulation that can protect their astronauts from extreme high temperature in the sky. The traditional insulation material was impossible to use as it requires very thick surface that ranges around several feet and it was unconventional to wear those dresses in space craft. The solution for this major problem was to use the reflective aluminum foil insulation for making a barrier wall on their dresses.
Aluminum thermal insulation is work on the radiant barrier principal that reflects the temperature and sun rays back to atmosphere from where they are coming from. And it works in both hot and cold environment by reflecting high temperature rays to the direction of source. The same can enhanced with the use of polyethylene bubble insulation film that sandwiched between the aluminum foil. Though aluminum insulation reflects around 97 percentage of sun rays and radiant heat, remaining can be stop passing to home by air bubble film. And this is why most of the radiant barriers are the best choice for home and industrial temperature insulation.
This aluminum roof insulation is used to provide protection against the higher cold also as it reduces the temperature loss to outers surface of the home roof or wall. Particularly for the building that are made with higher amount of glass or steel. Whatever needs to be of keeping the close room at a constant temperature, it can be benefited with the use of radiant aluminum foil.
Studies have shown that radiant heat transmission is responsible for the highest amount of heat gain or loss in the building structure. During the hard summer, the ceiling or roof and wall of the building absorb radiation from the sun rays and transmit it inside the home. The same heat is then transmitter towards the attic room. However, most of the sun rays and heat is transmitted outside when radiant aluminum foil insulation is used. Also during the colder period the same thermal barrier stops the wastage of energy by reflecting cooler temperature towards the interior of the building. A properly installed aluminum thermal barrier stops 97 percentage of the heat transfer and saves money and energy both.
Aluminum foil thermal insulation can be used to multiple places where it can be found useful for stopping unwanted heat gain or heat loss. Aluminum foil insulation works effectively and efficiently and prevents the transmission of temperature that at the end results into wastage of energy.
