Polyshield
With rising global temperatures and the effects of climate change, POLYSHIELD’s reflective thermal insulation has become increasingly vital. Designed to reflect 97% of radiant heat, POLYSHIELD helps maintain comfort by keeping heat at bay. It also serves as an energy-efficient solution, reducing energy consumption and lowering your carbon footprint. By understanding heat transfer dynamics and selecting the right insulation, you can enhance comfort and reduce energy use effectively.
FAQ
What differentiates POLYSHIELD from other reflective insulation products on the market?
POLYSHIELD stands out due to its certification from the Asian Reflective Foil Association (ARFA), making it the only such product in the Philippines with this accreditation. It is also ISO certified and holds the Eco-Specifier seal, qualifying it for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation.
Will I need POLYSHIELD insulation even if I have a clay tile roof, asphalt shingles, or stone-coated metal roofing?
Yes, you will. Radiant energy can penetrate through any roofing material. While clay tiles and asphalt shingles may absorb less heat compared to metal roofs, radiant energy from the sun can still pass through them. POLYSHIELD's insulation, featuring two layers of pure aluminum foil, is designed to reflect 97% of radiant heat, providing effective protection regardless of the roofing material.
How does POLYSHIELD reflective thermal insulation compare to fiberglass and rock wool?
POLYSHIELD's reflective thermal insulation, with its dual aluminum foil layers, is specifically designed to reflect radiant heat, which is crucial for tropical climates like the Philippines. In contrast, fiberglass and rock wool have low reflectivity rates and primarily absorb heat rather than reflecting it. These materials are more suitable for cold climates where they help retain heat generated by a furnace, making them less effective in tropical settings.
