""" 2 sided reflective bubble wraps are very to most effective when used in combination with a bulk insulation material such as spun fiberglass, shredded treated paper fibers, wood/wood fibers, carpet etc, a trapped dead air space on both sides of the radiant bubble wrap material, etc. Radiant bubble wraps add their very effective radiant thermal transference blocking properties to the bulk insulating materials/dead air space conductive insulating properties. Moisture blocking bubble wraps also are an extremely effective moisture barrier which is inherently lacking in bulk insulating materials other than tight fitting porifera closed cell foams. However, most foams lack reflective properties unless foil surfaced.""
SO, this statement being accurate ? ,The construction of an RV floor or Ceiling usually would not allow for dead air space.Especially when it is installed in a slaphazard fashion.
So I am at a loss to see how they can come up with their calculation of an equivalent R value of 29. I guess they take the most advantageous portion of any research statement and transpose it to their advertising material weather it is correct or not ! Truth in advertising !
Thank You for posting that. I guess we should forward this info to the RV manufacturers that tout their use of Astro foil along with proper installation information.
