ThermalFlex™ Cavity
Flexible Reflective InsulationThermalFlex™ Cavity is a high performance reflective insulation, vapour barrier and radiant barrier.
ThermalFlex™ Cavity consists of cross linked, closed cell foam core for improved thermal performance.
On each side of this foam core there are layers of reflective foil, one side with an antiglare and the inside
reflective face which provides a high quality finish, particularly for shed applications.
ThermalFlex™ Cavity is also a fibre free insulation and non-allergenic.
ThermalFlex™ Cavity is rated Extra Heavy Duty and is strong and durable, making it perfectly suited for use
in wall applications. ThermalFlex™ Cavity is ideal for use in residential homes, commercial buildings and
domestic sheds, and will improve the energy efficiency and comfort of these buildings.
ThermalFlex™ Cavity also assists in reducing thermal bridging and minimising condensation along with
providing high thermal performance as a radiant barrier.
ThermalFlex™ Cavity is easy to install and is manufactured at 1350 mm wide for maximising coverage and
faster installation.
Product Advantages
- Insulation, vapour barrier and radiant barrier, reflecting up to 95% of radiant heat.
- Extra Heavy Duty for strength, durability and maximum tear resistance.
-
Low Flammability to suit bushfire-prone areas.
- R0.11 flexible insulation to help prevent condensation.
- Antiglare coating on the outer layer for installation safety and high quality foil finish on the inside.
Applications
Premium wall wrap for brick cavities.
