Reflectix

[cob]

Many members including me have used Reflectix. A recent post by SCD prompts this post.

this post is to inform those who use Reflectix of its limitations and proper installation.

this product needs to have an air gap in order to offer any insulation value.

lifted from https://www.reflectixinc.com/ FAQ

No Air Space = No Reflective Insulation Benefit (An R-1.1 is provided from the product itself for the Reflective/Double Bubble material.)

this is not truly a do not use post, but a be sure to install it in a way that is most efficient for you post.

Don't no where I got from but I do remember to only single wrap. May have been cosmetic cause it can be made to cover ugly.

My simple reason for use is to insulate the outside from scolding someone. It helps with column stabilization, but more over it makes it completely bearable to touch in case you bump into it.
