Ecogard Metallized Aluminium Foil Paper Insulation
Ecogard Metalizing Aluminium Foil Paper. Paper with a metalizing surface. Choose a type to view its dimensions and specifications.
Product selection and use guide
Ecogard Metallized Aluminium Foil Paper Insulation is a reflective insulation layer; paper, woven, bubble and foam backings must be distinguished before selection. The paper type uses a paper-based backing; check whether the selected face is pure aluminium or metallised.
How to choose
Check layer construction, aluminium or metallised facing, roll size and air-space details. Do not compare by shiny appearance alone. Consider support and edge handling to avoid tearing the layer.
Applications to consider
Consider it within a roof or other surface assembly specifically detailed for reflective layers.
Use limitations
It does not replace weatherproof roofing or thick insulation in every situation. Installation depends on air spaces, clean faces and joint continuity.
Pre-order checklist
- Send roof area, span direction, supports and overlap allowances.
- Confirm the core, facing, tape needs and penetration details.
- Confirm layer construction, roll size and joint closure method.
Frequently asked questions
Are pure aluminium and metallised faces the same?
No. Facing construction differs; choose by exact type data and project needs, not appearance alone.
Why should air-space details be checked?
A reflective layer must be assessed in its installed assembly; direct contact and facing an air space are different conditions.
Does foil replace roof waterproofing?
Do not assume so. Roof covering, drainage and weatherproof details still need separate design.
Is paper foil the same as woven foil?
No. The backing differs; do not assume the same tear resistance or layer construction.
