From the Manufacturer
Reflectix is a 5/16-Inch thick, seven layer, reflective insulation which is available in rolls of various widths and lengths. It is used extensively in both specialty and standard construction projects. Two outer layers of aluminum foil reflect 97-Percent of radiant heat. Each layer of foil is bonded to a tough layer of polyethylene for strength. Two inner layers of insulating bubbles resist conductive heat flow, while a center layer of polyethylene gives Reflectix high reliability and strength.

We park our RV in the hot Arizona sun during the summer & needed this to help reduce the heat inside. The 2 ft x 25 ft roll was easy to handle & super easy to cut to fit each of our windows. I managed to cover 6 windows that I wanted to cover with this one roll (I have 3 additional windows that I prefer not to cover). It was 90°+ outside when I installed it, and I immediately felt a cooling off with each window as I covered them. Helped keep the RV cooler by several degrees during the hottest part of the day.

Probably the BEST Product I have EVER Bought! Works to keep Heat IN when cold, as well as Heat OUT when hot!Used all lwinter to surround my space heaters and hold the heat next to where I sit to eat, use computer… Also put in bed-side window to keep the cold OUT… This summer, I tried the same for bed-side window to keep the western sun OUT, as the sun baked the bedroom and raised the room’s temp dramatically; Works EXCELLENTLY FOR BOTH!Bought last winter, will NEVER go without! I have fitted several western windows now, and place tightly against glass in the afternoons, then remove. Because of its foil, I find cutting the pieces slightly larger than the windows, I am able to just push into place and pull to remove…A couple days ago I made an interior windshield glass cover for my car. It took One large and Two smaller pieces taped together (Use wide strong tape, not office paper tape) for the over-sized windshield and This time I did also apply two small pieces of self-adheseve velcro to the inside top of the glass and to the wrap. Once again, cut a little tiny bit larger than the glass, as the foil helps to retain the piece’s shape. It actually took me several trimminimg cuts to maintain the slightly bigger shape that helps hold it in place… I have since used it many times to help keep the Summer Sun from BAKING the interior of my car – up and down EZ! and even tho it’s three pieces taped together, the foil material is very resilient and I believe this is All-round AWESOME STUFF!Before Next Winter, I will buy it again, the cost here is the most reasonable I’ve seen, and I continue to find uses for this as time goes by! There are videos of folks using it around or inside their ice coolers, and I have No Doubt that will be Next on my list of Fabulous Uses for REFLECTIX BUBBLE WRAP!!! Would give this MORE STARS if it were an option!!!

I bought this guys to Blick the hot sun from shining inside car windows. You have to cut the shape of the window cut the heat down inside your vehicle.

I became homeless in the summer and managed. But now winter has hit and it’s a very different story. I went through all the YouTube videos to get ideas and saw this stuff that was supposed to be just as good as ThermaWrap and not as pricey. I have to say it did cut the draft coming through the windows considerably. But once it gets below the 30’s it really doesn’t matter at that point. You will freeze your ass off. – It was a bit tedious measuring, cutting and fitting the windows, but in the end it worked. Definitely going to get another roll. (I know this sounds stupid to say because it’s called “Reflectix”, but I wish there was some way they could have put a black finish on it so it looks tinted out) That is my only gripe

This product is great to help keep the RV cooler. Easy install and we’ll worth it.

I bought this to make a cover for both my chest freezer I use as a cold soak and my 8′ round stock tank pool. Used metal tape for the seams. The pool cover is the opposite of a solar cover — keeps my water from heating up more than a few degrees on a sunny day! Keeps the water refreshing how I like it. Some days I just fold back a section, get in to cool off, and get out and fold the section back in place. I ended up needing a second roll to finish the projects, so I may put some up in my south facing windows with velcro patches on really hot days….

Like:The ease of use. Short staples work. It cuts easy for weird shape holes and such.Dislikes:Kind of expensive for not a lot of square footage.I get it though. It’s bubble wrap. I’ll see how well it keeps the heat out of my shed. Thank you. 🙂

Bought this for our rv and have completed making covers for the windows. I used a little strip of Velcro to secure while traveling. You could notice a difference in the temperature right away. It does a great job keeping the heat out. I will be adding this inside my cabinets as well.

It does the job. Helped cool down our RV a good amount. You just cut it down to the size of what you need.
