A lower cost radiant barrier.

Description

RB-Res™ is a lower cost perforated Radiant Barrier. Like ARMA FOIL™, it is double sided with reflective metalized film on both sides. Polyester inner lining and scrim.

  • RB-Res™ achieved a flame spread score of 0 when tested under the newest fire code test, ASTM E84-10.
  • RB-Res™ is perforated to allow moisture to escape. It is not a good idea to install a non-perforated radiant barrier in an attic.
