How can thin insulation work without thickness?

Why does thin insulation work?

For a great many people, insulation comes down to one thing: thickness.

Here is a counter-example that shows how much the performance of an insulation layer depends on criteria few people ever hear about.

When living space is tight, conventional insulation simply takes up too much room.

R'BULL is a thin insulation product that solves the space problem: it makes up for its low thickness by reflecting infrared heat instead of absorbing it.

Conventional insulation works, and takes up room

Conventional insulation resists conduction and convection well, thanks to its thickness. It comes with one serious drawback: it eats into the room. That is where R'BULL reflective thin insulation stands apart. It suits tight spaces, and in particular building renovations where the depth available for insulation is limited.

What R'BULL reflective thin insulation brings

To make up for its low thickness, R'BULL reflective thin insulation relies on several other properties:

1. Thermal reflection

Its two pure aluminium faces work like a sunshade: they reflect far infrared radiation, a specific form of heat that only a thermal mirror can send back.

2. Airtightness

Much like insulating double glazing, R'BULL reflective thin insulation is airtight thanks to the thousands of sealed dry air bubbles it contains.

3. Watertight and vapour tight

It is also watertight and vapour tight, which means it keeps its insulating properties over the years, including where moisture is present.

4. Compression resistance

Its high density means R'BULL reflective thin insulation will not settle over time, so performance holds.

5. Simple, continuous installation

R'BULL reflective thin insulation comes in 25 square metre rolls, which gives continuous cover with no thermal bridges. Fitting is quick and straightforward, and the product cuts to size to follow awkward shapes and angles.

6. Comfort and safety

Being semi-rigid, R'BULL reflective thin insulation is easy to handle and keeps the air gaps regular. It is made of durable materials and is flame retardant throughout, which protects both the building and the people in it.

7. No health risk during installation

Fitting R'BULL reflective thin insulation calls for no personal protective equipment: it releases no dust and no harmful smell.

In short: effective, and out of the way

To sum up, R'BULL reflective thin insulation behaves differently from conventional insulation. It is effective, easy to fit and takes almost no room. Its reflective properties send the heat wave back rather than absorbing and storing it as thick insulation would. Improving the energy performance of your home or building means you can spend your time and money on things that matter more.
