How ARMA FOIL Works
|
|
Radiation is one of the biggest methods of heat lost or gained by your home. ARMA FOIL blocks up to 95% of this heat transfer. When ARMA FOIL is installed in a house attic or attached to the roof rafters in a commercial building, it will block 95% of the radiant heat from the sun from entering the home or building. This keeps the attic space cooler during the summer which reduces the amount of energy the air conditioner must use to cool down the house or building. In the winter, ARMA FOIL reflects radiant heat back towards the interior of the home, which in turn reduces the amount of energy required to heat the home.
|
 |
|
|
Not all Radiant Barriers are created equal.
|
ARMA FOIL is produced using the most technologically advanced processes in the industry to make a material that is light weight yet stronger than every other code compliant radiant barrier on the market. While our competition may tout their products' weight, we contend that just because something is thicker or heavier does not mean that it is stronger. As you can imagine, there are several real benefits to using a material that weighs less without giving up any tear resistance. Heavier rolls are much more difficult to work with, especially in attic spaces.
ARMA FOIL is double-sided, tear-resistant, Class A/Class 1 Fire-Rated using the newest code / testing procedure, clean, non-toxic and much more... Watch our videos below to learn more about what makes ARMA FOIL different than the others.
|
Old Way, New Way
ARMA FOIL™ is made using the latest technology in radiant barrier manufacturing. The foil is vapor deposited directly onto the fabric lining using a proprietary process and is not glued or laminated like all other materials on the market. Those products typically fail after several years within a hot attic environment. Sometimes they even fail right out of the box.
|
|
Wider is Easier!
ARMA FOIL™ is available in several new widths including: 51", 25.5" and 17". These widths make installation on 16" and 24" joist spacing a lot easier.
|
|
Lighter, Stronger, Easier!
The proprietary process with which ARMA FOIL™ is made allows us to provide a material that is both lighter weight and resists tearing much better than Polyester (PE) based materials. Since ARMA FOIL™ is not heat laminated, it does not suffer from the memory effect and it does not become brittle and zipper from a tear or staple.
|
|
97% vs. 95%, why the difference?
If a radiant barrier boasts a 97% reflectivity, it is not coated to protect against the oxidation which forms when aluminum is exposed to the heat and moisture found in an attic. Oxidation is an invisable layer that builds up on the surface of the foil and significantly lowers its reflectivity. ARMA FOIL™ is coated to prevent oxidation and ensure that it reflects 95% for years to come.

Buy with Confidence
|
Setting a new standard
in radiant barrier. |
ARMA FOIL is top quality material which is both double sided and high strength (it will not tear and holds staples well). It has both Class A and Class 1 fire ratings and meets the standards for C1313 radiant barriers set forth by the ASTM.
When you buy ARMA FOIL , you know you are getting the highest quality radiant barrier. Installing radiant barrier is an investment in both time and money, so buy the material which will last longer, and provide the best performance.
If you would like to evaluate the material for yourself, simply request a sample and we will mail one to you. Be sure to do some research and ask questions to be certain you are installing the right type for your particular application. Feel free to message us through the Ebay messaging system with any questions.

A Little Physics - Double Sided Radiant Barrier
|
There are two properties of Radiant Barriers which make them effective at stopping radiant heat. First, because the foil is reflective, it reflects the heat on the hot side. Second, since the foil has a low emissivity value of 0.05, it doesn't emit heat on the cold side. In order to benefit from both of these important properties, you must have foil on both sides of the material. A study by a Texas A&M University Professor demonstrated that double sided radiant barrer was nearly twice as effective at blocking heat as the single sided type. If you buy radiant barrier from somewhere else, make sure that it is double sided (you should see foil on both sides) for maximum effectiveness.

Radiant Barriers can reduce summer ceiling heat gains by about 16 to 42 percent compared to an attic with the same insulation level and no radiant barrier...

I ordered a 1,000 foot roll of the perforated radiant barrier foil from you a month ago to install in my attic...Wow! This is great stuff! ...the temperature in my attic has dropped 50%...I would like to order an additional roll to use in both my detached double garage and workshop. Thanks so much for making this economical and wonderful product available.

When you advertised it wasn't possible to tear the product by hand I was quite skeptical...until I took my best grip and REALLY tried to put a tear into it..Wow that really IS tough! Needless to say I couldn't do it.

I purchased a radiant barrier to be placed in my attic and also on my garage ceiling. I am extremely pleased with the products and spent weeks researching radiant barriers and searching tons of websites. But no other website offered so many installation tips, product information, and a fair unbiased review of the products on the market.
