  • Publication number: 20130047548
    Abstract: The reflective blown insulation with adhesive coating is a material for providing additional insulation to reduce heat loss or gain, particularly in homes and like building structures, by adding a reflective layer blown over thermal insulation in the ceiling or attic of the structure. The material includes particles of reflective material (foil, plastic, etc.) having adhesive surfaces. The particles are deposited over a layer of thermal insulation. The reflective blown insulation is especially effective when applied to the floors of an attic. The adhesive surfaces are effective to prevent the particles from drifting after being blown into the desired area and may incorporate a fire retardant.
