GF - HEAT SHIELD

GF Heat Shield

More efficient, easier to install, cost effective and easier to use than mineral fiber or foamboard insulation.

GF Heat Shield is a revolutionary insulation material, ideal for retrofit or new construction applications in commercial, industrial and agricultural pre-engineered metal and post frame buildings.
Its unique composite design consists of thin layers of reflective aluminum foil bonded with reinforced fiberglass and polyester. In many applications, GF Heat Shield is more effective than 3" to 6" of conventional mass fiber insulation. Yet, GF Heat Shield is far from conventional. In addition to having excellent R-values to fight conductive heat transfer, it provides high (97%) reflectivity against radiant heat, something mass insulations just can´t do.

Advantages:

Reflective - Reflects heat energy. Keeps buildings warmer in Winter and cooler in Summer.
Clean, Non-carcinogenic - Installation requires no special protective clothing, gloves, masks or respirators.
Lightweight - Material is thin, pliable and easy to install, and has little or no effect on building design loads.
Compact - Works well in limited spaces and is easier to ship and store.
Tough - Tear & puncture resistant. Can be pressure washed.
Water-resistant - GF Heat Shield non-permeable surface keeps moisture out.
Wind barrier - GF Heat Shield solid suface absolutely stops air infiltration, adding to the energy efficiency of any buiding.
Fire-retardant - GF Heat Shield has a Class 1, Class A fire rating and low smoke spread.
Enduring - Material is impervious to fungus and inhospitable to insects, birds and nesting rodents.
Reflects light - Can reduce indoor lighting requirements by 40%.

Installation on roofs

1. Measure the length to be applied, then cut similar length of it. Add an inch or two to assure complete coverage at top and bottom.

2. Position first length at corner, wrapping around the corner and fasten with self-tapping screws or with aluminium foil tape, sufficient to hold in place.

3. Cut a second length and position next to the first length. Butt sides evenly together or slightly overlap. Tape all seam following the instructions under taping tips.

4. When securing bottom, staple or tape insulation to the sill plate or a furring strip secured to the floor.

5. At corners, wrap around the corner and continue vertical installation as described in the previous steps. Attach metal sheeting directly over insulation in the conventional manner.

6. Measure and cut lengths as in step 1. Attach to the inside of the top of the wall plate as in step 2. Begin hanging and securin subsequent strips as in step 3. Leave approximately 1’’ airspace between wall and insulation. Continue installation per steps 4 and 5, following recommended taping instructions.
