Last weekend we spent time at a Healing Arts Festival. There were various health and healing venues and a couple of technology type booths. We displayed our green technology for the home showing air, water, and laundry solutions for a cleaner environment. It was educational and successful.
This week we will discuss two of the alternatives for duct insulation other than fiberglass.
One is a product called Reflectix, which is a bubble wrap coated on both sides by a foil coating. It is very clean and easy to use and relatively inexpensive. It is used for wrapping as well as lining the ducts. The insulation value is achieved through the air bubbles in the material. I recommend this for homeowners to wrap any metal ducts exposed to unconditioned space. It is easy to work with and clean-(you won't itch afterward). Be sure to use spray adhesive.
The other product is a rubber type similar to the black insulation on the suction line of your home air conditioner. It comes in various thicknesses for lining the ducting. It is fairly clean but used mainly by HVAC contractors in their fabrication shops.
