If you live in warmer regions, you have probably experienced excessive heat build up in your garage. The source of this heat may be your garage door. Your uninsulated or underinsulated overhead garage door allows radiant heat waves to penetrate, trapping the excess heat in your garage. REACHBARRIER garage door insulation kits use reflective foil bubble insulation to block the transfer of radiant heat energy through your garage door.
The REACH barrier Garage Door Insulation Kit uses REACH bubble insulation which is a Nylon layer co-extruded between two layers of durable and economical Reflective Polyethylene incasing two layers of 5/32" barrier bubble to create a radiant bubble insulation product.
REACH bubble insulation will retain its air much longer than competitive bubble products. Nylon is 100 times more resistant to the passage of air than polyethylene. This results in much more consistent RTM values.
Tests indicate that under a one pound psi load for four days, the competitive bubble can lose up to 35% of the air or thickness.
REACH bubble insulation will only lose 5% of it's air thickness. REACH bubble insulation's ability to retain its air longer means a better product for you.
REACH bubble insulation is also made of 20% recycled material resulting in a "greener" product.
REACH bubble insulation is also available in extended widths up to ten feet wide.
What is REACH barrier?
To understand what REACH barrier™ is, you need to understand why a radiant barrier is such an effective insulator and the two modes of heat transfer and how they work.
Heat travels by a mixture of conduction, convection, and radiation. Fiberglass, cellulose and foam are all designed to stop the flow of convection and conductive heat.
Although each of these insulation types is effective, they are not designed to stop the flow of radiant heat. REACH barrier™ reflective foil insulation and radiant barrier technology blocks up to 95% of the radiant heat.What is REACH barrier?
