TempShield™ Double Bubble White/Foil reflective insulation is two layers of 5/32" barrier bubble film laminated between one layer of foil and one layer of white polyethylene. (Nylon Reinforced).
DESIGNED to be used for commercial or metal buildings where aesthetics is of primary importance.
The purpose for installing TempShield™ Double Bubble White/Foil in a concrete slab application is two-fold; first, it acts as a vapor retarder and second, it provides a thermal break. The thermal resistance of TempShield™ product under concrete is based on testing done on a calibrated hotplate using ASTM 518 test procedures. The thermal resistance is R-1.1.
Key Benefits
- Clean, Lightweight, Easy To Install
- White Appearance
- Saves Energy and Money

How Radiant Heat Transfers Through Roofs
TempShield™ is used as insulation against radiant heat transfer and can be used to its greatest advantage in instances where radiation is the predominant means of heat transfer. It is the bright aluminum surface of all TempShield™ products that gives it its insulating properties. This happens in two ways:
TempShield™ is an excellent reflector of all long wave radiant heat that strikes it - reflecting up to 97% of all radiant heat.
TempShield™ will reradiate only 3% of heat in which it comes in close physical contact, compared with the approximate 90% reradiation of ordinary building materials, at the same temperature.
