ARK-F80LD
Foil/Scrim/Kraft/Foil – Dual-Sided Reflective Insulation Facing
ARK-F80LD is a high-performance Foil/Scrim/Kraft/Foil insulation facing designed to support radiant heat management, moisture control, and durability in residential and commercial building assemblies. Its multi-layer construction combines reflective aluminum foil on both sides with reinforced scrim and a kraft layer, providing a durable facing with reflective surfaces on both sides.
The dual foil surfaces help reflect radiant heat when properly installed with the required air space, while the reinforced scrim provides added tear resistance and dimensional stability. The kraft layer contributes vapor-control performance where required by the insulation assembly.
Lightweight and easy to handle, ARK-F80LD is suitable for a range of applications, including walls, ceilings, and HVAC duct insulation systems where reflective performance and durable construction are important.
Key Advantages:
- Dual Reflective Foil Surfaces – Reflective aluminum foil on both sides helps manage radiant heat transfer when properly installed.
- Reinforced for Durability – Scrim reinforcement provides added tear resistance and helps maintain facing integrity during installation.
- Vapor Control – Kraft layer helps provide vapor-control performance in suitable insulation assemblies.
- Thermal & Moisture Management – Designed to support radiant heat control and moisture management within appropriate building assemblies.
- Lightweight & Easy to Handle – Practical construction helps simplify handling, cutting, and installation.
- Versatile Applications – Suitable for walls, ceilings, and HVAC duct insulation systems.
- Built for Demanding Applications – Multi-layer construction provides a durable facing solution for residential and commercial projects.
Reflective on Both Sides.
Dual aluminum foil surfaces provide reflective properties on both faces, helping manage radiant heat transfer when properly installed with the required air space.
Built With Reinforcement.
The integrated scrim adds strength and tear resistance, helping the facing withstand handling and installation demands.
Help Control Vapor.
The kraft layer contributes vapor-control performance where a suitable vapor retarder is required within the insulation assembly.
Designed for Thermal Performance.
The reflective foil surfaces help support radiant heat management as part of a properly designed and installed insulation system.
Built to Handle the Jobsite.
The reinforced multi-layer construction provides durability during handling, cutting, positioning, and installation.
Easy to Work With.
Lightweight construction makes ARK-F80LD practical to transport, handle, and install across a variety of applications.
One Facing. Multiple Applications.
Designed for walls, ceilings, and HVAC duct insulation systems, providing a versatile solution for residential and commercial projects.
