Reflective Insulation and Radiant Barrier

Dramatically reduces heat gain and heat loss in your home!

MicroVent™ is a clean, non-toxic, easy to install, self-taping radiant barrier that provides increased comfort, energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs.This product is mold and fungus resistant. It is perforated for breathability under vinyl siding. This Product is highly recommended for use with vinyl sided structures.

MicroVent™ effectively reflects a heat source as opposed to absorbing and dissipating it as fiber glass insulations must do. This reflectivity works both ways: radiating summer heat outward and retaining winter heat inside.

Benefits and Specs 

Reflects Heat: MicroVent effectively reflects a heat source as opposed to absorbing and dissipating it as fiberglass insulations do. This reflectivity works both ways: radiating summer heat outward and retaining winter heat inside. Easy to Use (New Patented Self-Taping) - MicroVent is made with plies of MICROFOAM (an extremely low-density, flexible polypropylene foam), it is a much lighter weight and easier to handle than other reflective or fiber glass insulation products. Smooth Finished Surfaces - MicroVent will provide equal or better insulation properties when compared to much thicker 2" - 3" fiber glass insulation. Incorporating an airspace on both sides of MicroVent allows for optimum insulating value. Practically Eliminates Bird and insect infestation. Condensation Control - When installed correctly, MicroVent provides an excellent thermal and vapor barrier, greatly reducing condensation build-up. Simple, Safe Installation - MicroVent requires only a pair of scissors or utility knife and a staple gun. It does not require masks or long clothing for installation. MicroVent does not contain hazardous material that cause itching or respiratory problems. MicroVent is safe and easy to use. MicroVent rolls are 125' long and come in 48" widths.

MicroVent has a patented self-sealing tape on a foil flange running along one edge to make installation fast and easy. A utility knife and a staple gun are the only tools necessary. No need for protective clothing and masks. MicroVent does not contain hazardous chemicals or harmful materials that cause itching or respiratory problems. MicroVent is safe and easy to use.
