Reflectix offers a wide range of applications and products for installation in Agricultural and Livestock Buildings. Depending on the structure of your building and the level of benefit required, there is an energy efficient, “easy to install” option to consider.

Benefits

  • Wide range of performance options (R-value depends on application)
  • Quicker installation results in lower labor costs
  • Product does not contain fibers or dust that require respirators or protective garments
  • Lowers stress levels in livestock due to lower internal building temperatures (radiant barrier application blocks 96% of radiant heat)
  • Reduces the impact of the “black-globe effect” on livestock (reduces the absorption of radiant energy by the animal’s body and results in higher weight gain & reproductively and lower mortality rates).
  • Non-toxic / non-carcinogenic

Testing and Certification

Reflectix® products are thoroughly tested at either nationally approved, independent laboratories or leading universities. Tests are performed to current American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards when a standard exists.

Review These Important Safety Guidelines Prior to Installation:

  • ALWAYS check local building codes before installing Reflectix®.
  • ALWAYS check the area you are insulating and make any needed repairs. Any worn wiring should be replaced before you begin installing Reflectix®.
