Although comparable in price to R-17, with an attractive white facer backing, R-Value 15.3 reflective insulation is the preferred interior appearance for many metal building purchasers. This product’s R-value is slightly reduced from 17 to 15.3 due to replacing one side of the polyethylene backing and reflective reinforced foil with the ALTERNATIVE UV-resistant White attractor Facer.

People choose white reflective insulation over the traditional silver finish for variety of reason:
- Appearance: The white finish offers a clean, bright look that is often preferred choice for insulation buyers. It lightens interior spaces due to its brightness.
- Additional Reflective Properties: The difference from white reflective insulations from silver is that it reflects a broader spectrum of the sun’s rays, including visible light, which contributes to heat gain. This can result in a cooler interior space as compared to using the silver finish, which mainly reflects infrared radiation.
- It Reduces Glare: White doesn’t produce additional glare. However Silver reflective insulation can produce significant glare when exposed to sunlight.
- Has UV Resistance: White reflective insulation finishes are treated for enhanced UV resistance. This will prolong the life to the insulation since UV rays can degrade the insulation over time.
- Architects Prefer White: It simply compliments a wider range of finishes and styles.
Why you shouldn’t use spray foam insulation
- It is too expensive
- It doesn’t protect your steel building from radiant heat transfer.
- It is labor extensive, so a professional is required for installation
- A great deal of spray foam can release toxic fumes when it burns
