Astro-Armour / Prodex is the latest in reflective insulation products. By incorporating a high-density foam and UV inhibitors within an effective reflective material, Astro-Armour / Prodex reflective insulation can keep 95 percent of radiant summer heat out of metal buildings and retain interior heat in the winter.
A reflective insulation does exactly that–it reflects heat away from the structure! The single largest type of heat gained by a building is in the form of radiant heat; given that most buildings can’t be moved under shade, adding a radiant barrier is the next best thing. This incredible technology works by reducing heat, air, and moisture transfer, resulting in more comfortable interior spaces and reduced energy costs.
