Foil Bubble Insulation
Foil bubble insulation differs from the standard radiant foil barrier in that it has a layer of air cushioned between the external layers of foil. The bubble layer is either a single layer or double layer, called double bubble foil.

A variation of the foil bubble insulation has one side of the product colored white. This version is used when the insulation will come in contact with uncured concrete, with the foil side placed away from the concrete. Additional uses for foil bubble include many of the places where standard radiant barrier foil is used, such as crawl spaces, radiant floor heating, garages, barns, and steel structures.
Another good use for foil bubble wrap insulation is to improve the efficiency of your hot water heater. When you include at least a 5/8-inch space between the wrap and the outer surface of the heater, it can improve the R-value by over 4. Garage doors can now be insulated with foil bubble insulation by applying it directly to the back surface. Make your heating and cooling system more efficient by wrapping foil bubble wrap around your ductwork while including at least a 3/4-inch airspace. More of the heat or air conditioning you pay for will reach your living space.
Do you have belongings in a mini-storage unit? Ask the owner of the facility if you can tape foil bubble insulation to the walls and ceiling. This will help keep the interior temperature fairly uniform and will create a thermal break to practically eliminate the condensation that is so common in metal structures.
Are you interested in radiant floor heating? Whether the heating system is installed over concrete or wood, foil bubble is more effective and easier to install than foam board products, which tend to be brittle and prone to cracking.
