Diamond and grid embossed reflective films look alike on a spec sheet but spread light differently. How each reflects, where each is used, how to decide.

Not as a radiant barrier. Why foil needs an air space to reflect heat, what happens when it is sandwiched, and how to design the assembly so it works.

What A1, A2, B, C and the s and d suffixes mean, which classes foil laminates can realistically reach, and how to ask a supplier for the right report.

Three common foil insulation constructions, what each is good at, where each fails, and the questions to answer before you specify one.

A checklist for converters and brands ordering reflective films and foil laminates by the roll: what to state, what to send, and what to ask for back.

Standard metallised PET film is not fire retardant. Which fire-rated grades exist, which tests apply (CPAI-84, EN 13501-1) and how to specify one.

Both look silver and both reflect, but metallised film and aluminium foil differ in cost, durability, emissivity and barrier. A buyer's comparison.

A short guide to the units used for reflective films and woven laminates, how to convert between them, and which numbers actually predict how a material performs.
