TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
REFLECTIVE HOUSE WRAP
Product Description:
REFLECTIVE SURFACE
rFOIL™ Reflective House Wrap is a house wrap made up of a single layer of
highly reflective aluminum laminated to a thick sheet of polyethylene for
superior durability and performance. Reflective House Wrap helps in
preventing water and air infiltration through residential wall assemblies, while
at the same time allowing for the transmission of water vapor.
rFOIL™ Reflective House Wrap can increase the performance of existing wall
insulation by up to 20%, while blocking up to 96% of radiant heat transfer. This
translates into significant energy savings in terms of heating and cooling costs,
in addition to providing a more comfortable living environment.

protective barrier against air infiltration and unwanted liquid moisture. In addition to sealing out air, it is designed to allow damaging
moisture to escape from inside the home or building.
