About the product:
"Looks can be deceiving." Currently about 75% of the radiant
barriers in the consumer marketplace are imported from China or Malaysia. There
are even American Distributors that "claim" American Made because they rebox it
into different size products after they import it. Much of the newer import
material is 94-96% Aluminum. Again, be careful. Much of this product looks the
same as ours. The lower the aluminum content the faster the product will oxidize
and thus, less effective it will be. They will also drop their product guarantee
to 12 years. The import dealers, if any, usually have a 5 year performance
guarantee. Adequate air flow is important. Perforation is critical. Some of the
imports are not even perforated.. They are ineffeciently punched and thus, have
residual material that can maintain moisture and re-seal over. The cheaper,
import product is now being shipped with a polypropylene center. Polypropylene
is cheaper to manufacturer, has lower tensile strength and will melt under lower
temperature...again causing eventual mold, mildew and condensation. THE NAKED,
UN-EDUCATED EYE WILL NOT DETECT ANY OF THIS. We use a MONO-FILAMENT POLYETHELENE
as our center which together with proper perforation and a slightly thicker
product allows us the warranty and guarantee's we can offer.
We carry a performance bond and, predicated on sales volume, will be increasing
our product liability insurance this year.
