BACKGROUNDProduct image • Product description • Contact information

Description: Fi-Foil's VR Plus Shield is triple-layer reflective intended for use in vertical wall cavities formed by furring strips attached to the inside of masonry walls. VR Plus Shield is formed by an outer layer of 35lb white kraft paper coated with polyethylene, a layer of 30lb natural kraft paper laminated to a minimum 0.00025" 99% pure aluminum foil, and a layer of minimum 0.00035" 99% pure aluminum foil. Upon installation the layers open using internal expanders. The internal airspaces range between 1/4" and 1/2". The thickness of the third air space is dependent on the thickness of the furring strips. The Hi-Perm version includes small perforations for applications not requiring a vapor retarder. Tape tab and staple tab versions are available. The tape tab is recommended for metal furring and the staple tab for wood.
