Advantages of Reflective Foil Insulation over Bulk Insulation

Reflective insulation (Reflective Foil Insulation and foil bubble insulation) is widely seen in aluminum foil material which has been specially designed to resist & block heat in open spaces. Reflective foil insulation is popularly used to keep the house and other building cool in a sunny day or in hot climate.

While on the other hand, Bulk insulation is a sort of insulation which is more commonly used in Australia and acts as a blanket to preserve warm climate in winter and cool in sunny season. Rock Wool, Natural Wool, Polyester and Loose-fill insulation are some of the bulk insulations which are being used.

Bulk insulation like cellulose insulation have the possibility of absorbing moisture in humid climate, while reflective foil insulation and , foil bubble insulation offers no such worries as being made from metallic foil. Also, Bulk insulations are heavier than reflective insulation and foil bubble insulation which may cause ceilings to wilt, which is also one of the major advantage of reflective foil insulation over different types of bulk insulations.

Reflective insulation or Reflective Foil Insulation is moreover installed in quite cost-effective way than using bulk insulation such as spray-foam. This kind of bulk insulation needs special efforts in installation as it needs special instruments along with the expert hands. Also, this type of bulk insulation is not environment friendly and it releases greenhouse gases during its applying, which is not at all the case with reflective foil insulation. As reflective foil insulation (foil bubble insulation or reflective insulation) doesn't have such possibility and thus it is environment friendly insulation.

There's possibility lying in bulk insulation that some small gaps and holes left behind even after finalizing the installation, which gives space to R-value to get reduce and thus the level of integrity of perseverance for keeping inside climate firm may get abridge. At other side, foil bubble insulation (reflective insulation, in common) gives no space to loose R-value and thus it is far more effective in resisting the temperature to change its state.
Reflective Insulation is very easy to install and also last really long with less or no maintenance. Over the period of time, bulk insulation needs maintenance along with the solution to fill the holes and spaces created due to its heavy structure, and thus add more cost. While foil bubble insulation and other reflective insulation needs no such maintenance even over the period of time and thus reflective foil insulation offers consistent performance as an ideal reflective insulation.

Adding to above points, one more thing goes into favor of reflective foil insulation and foil bubble insulation, that is, it is approved by AAF (Australian Asthma Foundation) as a non-toxic insulation material. If we compare bulk insulation with the previous then there's a possibility of inclusion on toxic material in them. Also, some of the insulation materials come under this insulation has fur in its made that may cause asthma and allergy to some of the people.

The last and the most important point is that foil bubble insulation & reflective foil insulation satisfy all the fire safety guidelines provided by Building Code Requirement for Fire Safety, While bulk insulation doesn't fulfill the fire safely guidelines. It is but obvious as few bulk insulation use special type of wool as insulation along with some inflammable materials which makes it more unsafe to use.
