Foil Vapor Barrier
Foil vapor barrier is superior to traditional products, because it adds an additional thermal barrier that works to reflect summer heat back outward and winter heat back in toward the interior of the structure.
Foil Vapor Barrier - Foil House Wrap Info
In addition, foil house wrap works with the airspace behind brick or siding to create an extra insulating effect. Unlike the other radiant barrier foil products that have micro perforations, foil house wrap is a solid surface, to help it act as a vapor barrier. When purchasing radiant foil for use as a house wrap, make sure the product is a solid surface.
Foil vapor barrier is also commonly used in sauna construction. It is installed behind wall panels and ceilings to help retain heat and to keep the moisture from penetrating the wall space. Bathroom remodeling jobs present a great opportunity to use foil barrier near showers and tubs, as well.
