Duct Insulation
R-4.2  Utilizing Reflectix® to enhance the efficiency of your existing duct system, is one of the “easiest to install” products you can select. There are no fibers or dust contained in the product, thus no need for respirators or protective garments. This application is not recommended as a standalone solution for Air Conditioning Supply Ducts - Condensation may occur. The R-6 Duct Insulation Application (as a standalone product) is an acceptable alternative for installation on this type of Duct. This method (R-4.2) is acceptable for use on an Air Conditioning Supply Ducts if used in conjunction with existing Duct Insulation (example: fiberglass) with the goal of increasing the insulation system’s overall performance.Recommended Products: Double Reflective Insulation
