Reflective insulation, or a radiant barrier, is a radiant heat insulation composed of a layer of bubbles within two layers of aluminum foil. There are many brands of reflective insulation on the market but Therma-Comfort offers a uniquely designed system of materials made of layers of insulating, heat sealed bubbles encased in a 99% aluminum foil outer surface.

There are three methods of heat transfer: Conduction, Convection, and Radiant. Most insulating products resist heat transfer through conduction and convection by forming small air or gas pockets between layers of building materials such as fiberglass, recycled paper, and foam.
