Abstract
A reflective insulation system. The reflective insulation system includes a reflective layer such as aluminum, a layer of fiberglass, and a layer of vapor retarding material. A first side of the layer of fiberglass is bonded to the reflective layer by a deposit of hot melt glue. The second side of the layer of fiberglass is bonded to the layer of vapor retarding material by a second deposit of hot melt glue. The vapor retarding layer may be a plastic material, such as polypropylene or a reflective material, such as aluminum.
Claims14
A reflective insulation system, comprising:
- a) a reflective layer;
- b) a layer of fiberglass having a first side bonded to said reflective layer by a first deposit of hot melt glue;
- and
- c) a layer of vapor retarder material bonded to a second side of said layer of fiberglass by a second deposit of hot melt glue.
A reflective insulation system, comprising:
- a) a perforated layer having an outer surface that comprises aluminum;
- b) a layer of fiberglass having a first side bonded to said perforated layer by a first deposit of hot melt glue;
- c) a layer of kraft paper bonded to a second side of said layer of fiberglass by a second deposit of hot melt glue;
- d) a layer of scrim bonded to said layer of kraft paper;
- and
- e) a layer of polypropylene bonded to said layer of scrim.
A method of making a reflective insulation system, comprising;
- a) unrolling a length of reflective sheet from a roll of reflective sheet;
- b) applying a first deposit of hot melt glue to a first side of said reflective sheet;
- c) unrolling a length of a vapor barrier sheet from a roll of vapor barrier;
- d) applying a second deposit of hot melt glue to a first side of said vapor barrier;
- e) unrolling a length of fiberglass insulation between said length of reflective sheet and said length of vapor barrier sheet from a roll of fiberglass insulation;
- and
- f) pressing said reflective sheet relatively toward said vapor barrier sheet to bond the reflective sheet and said vapor barrier sheet to said fiberglass insulation;
- g) perforating said reflective sheet;
- and
- h) rolling said reflective sheet, said vapor barrier sheet and said fiberglass insulation onto a roll, wherein excess air trapped between the reflective sheet and the vapor barrier sheet is forced out perforations in said aluminum sheet.
A reflective insulation system, comprising:
- a) a reflective layer;
- b) a layer of fiberglass having a first side bonded to said reflective layer by a first deposit of glue;
- and
- c) a layer of vapor retarder material bonded to a second side of said layer of fiberglass by a second deposit of glue.
