REFLECTIVE INSULATION

The power of reflection

Five lines of insulation products suitable for all types of projects.

Several ideal properties for all types of buildings:

  • Light and resistant;
  • Waterproof;
  • Resists mildew and moisture;
  • Easy to install;
  • Environmentally safe;
  • Multipurpose.

Conduction

Thermal transfer through a solid body or two conductive bodies that are in contact.

Advantage of Duchesne reflective insulation : air bubbles reduce conduction.

Example : Stove or oven.

Convection

Fluid movement (e.g. : air, water) which, under the influence of temperature variations will transport heat.

Advantage of Duchesne reflective insulation : reduces movement of air within structures.

Example : convection oven.

Radiation

Heat, under the form of electromagnetic waves, propagates from a high to a low temparature body.

Advantage of Duchesne reflective insulation : contributes to reducing heat losses by radiation, which accounts for 75% of all heat losses in residential buildings.

Example : isothermal container (thermos)
