What is reflective insulation?
Reflective insulation uses layers of aluminium foil to combat radiant heat. By creating a thermal barrier, this cutting-edge solution prevents heat from entering or escaping your space for year-round temperature regulation.
Installed in roofs, walls, or under floors, it’s a versatile choice for maximising energy efficiency across homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.

Advantages of thermo reflective insulation
Whether you’re renovating your home’s roof, insulating commercial walls, or protecting industrial tanks, this foil insulation delivers exceptional results tailored to Australian conditions.
Handles the heat
Designed to thrive in Australia’s harsh climates, this solution outperforms traditional bulk insulation by tackling radiant heat head-on. It’s the smart choice for keeping homes cool in summer and industrial systems running efficiently in extreme conditions.
Boosts energy efficiency
Heat reflective insulation sheets transform how your building manages heat. By deflecting up to 97% of radiant heat, it dramatically reduces the need for heating and cooling systems, making it a must-have for energy-conscious projects.
Curbs energy costs
Reduced energy usage means more affordable utility bills. Thermo reflective insulation systems can pay for themselves over time, helping you save while enjoying a more comfortable environment.
Easy to install
Say goodbye to heavy, cumbersome materials. Thermo reflective insulation is lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle, making it perfect for quick installations. With the right advice, DIY enthusiasts can get the job done with minimal effort.
Keeps moisture at bay
Reflective insulation doesn’t just manage heat—it doubles as a vapour barrier. By preventing condensation and mould growth, it protects your property from long-term damage while maintaining a healthier indoor environment.
Eco friendly
By improving your building’s energy efficiency, thermo reflective insulation helps lower greenhouse gas emissions. It’s an eco-conscious choice that reduces your carbon footprint while complying with energy efficiency standards.

Thermo reflective insulation FAQs
What is the R-value of reflective foil insulation?
The R-value of reflective foil insulation depends on the specific product and how it is installed.
By itself, reflective foil typically has a lower R-value compared to traditional bulk insulation. However, when installed with an air gap, its performance improves dramatically by reflecting up to 97% of radiant heat. This makes it highly effective at reducing heat transfer and enhancing overall energy efficiency.
For even greater performance, it can be combined with bulk insulation to achieve a higher total R-value for the system.
How does reflective insulation work?
Reflective insulation works by deflecting radiant heat away from a surface using layers of aluminium foil. It minimises the amount of heat absorbed by a structure, helping to regulate indoor temperatures.
When installed correctly – often with an air gap – it boosts thermal performance and energy efficiency, particularly in hot climates.
Can reflective insulation be combined with other types of insulation?
Yes, reflective insulation can be paired with bulk insulation for improved thermal performance.
This combination offers enhanced protection against both radiant and conductive heat transfer, making it suitable for homes, commercial buildings, and industrial applications.
A layered approach is especially effective in climates with extreme temperature fluctuations.
Does reflective insulation keep cold out?
Yes. Reflective insulation is highly effective in both hot and cold climates.
In warm conditions, it reflects heat away, keeping spaces cooler. In colder environments, it reduces heat loss by reflecting radiant heat back into the building.
This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for year-round energy efficiency.
What are the applications of thermo reflective insulation?
Whether you’re managing a small home renovation or a large industrial facility, thermo reflective insulation provides the performance and adaptability you need for better thermal control and energy savings.
Here’s how it works for different applications:
Residential
Thermo reflective insulation is perfect for homes, garages, and sheds. It helps regulate indoor temperatures by keeping spaces cooler in summer and warmer in winter, boosting comfort year-round. It also supports compliance with energy efficiency standards, which can increase property value and reduce energy costs.
Commercial
For office buildings, retail spaces, and apartment complexes, reflective insulation enhances thermal regulation, cutting down on operational energy expenses. It’s an ideal choice for large-scale projects, with bulk materials available at competitive prices to meet budget needs.
Industrial
Designed to withstand extreme conditions, reflective insulation is widely used in manufacturing and processing facilities. It protects large tanks, valves, and boilers from heat loss and condensation, ensuring safe operations and reducing energy consumption. Discover heavy-duty insulation for demanding environments.
Can you paint reflective insulation?
Yes, reflective insulation can be painted, but doing so may reduce its effectiveness. The reflective surface is designed to deflect radiant heat, and covering it with paint can compromise its thermal performance.
If painting is necessary for aesthetic or functional reasons, make sure to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines or use a specialised coating that minimises impact on its reflective properties.
How do you install reflective insulation?
The best way to install reflective insulation is to ensure there’s an air gap on at least one side of the material. This gap maximises its reflective properties, allowing it to deflect radiant heat efficiently.
For optimal results, follow manufacturer guidelines or seek professional installation services.
