Es un buen aislante para frio y calor

I have not had a chance to test this out yet in terms of keeping heat out, but it arrived in good shape. It is a bit thinner than I expected, but has the advantage of being very easy to cut with scissors and to bend, while being stiff enough to stay straight and stand upright if that is what you want. It is also super lightweight.I live in the SF bay area in California and sun on my planters on my paved patio can be brutal in the summer, baking the roots of plants. I found that the plants in my fiberglass planters that face south dried out super fast, and I think it is just the heat of the sun hitting them. So I am going to try lining the inside of the planters with this, to reflect the heat back out, and then fill them with potting soil. Between the reflective foil and the thin layer of foam, that should help. But I won't know until this summer. However, I am happy with this product--I think it will be very easy to work with and easy to line the planters with.I also think it could be a great product for reflecting heat that comes through a wall, where you have limited space to insulate. We are thinking of using it behind our medicine cabinet which is recessed into an exterior 2x4 stud wall that gets morning sun and gets very warm in summer. If we were putting in a new medicine cabinet, we would definitely try using a product like this, or maybe the foil-bubble-foil type, to provide some protection from heat.

I bought this to wrap an inexpensive greenhouse that lives on our patio. We tried everything we could but it didn’t stay warm enough. As soon as I wrapped it in this the temperature went up ten degrees. We’re now able to maintain 65 degrees even in 34 degree weather. We have a very small low wattage space heater in there to help maintain the heat and it’s hooked up to a thermostat. We also have a grow light. The wrap is open in the middle of the front so I can get into the greenhouse and overlaps the openings of the actual greenhouse cover. I wanted to let oxygen flow some while allowing little heat to escape. Our system is hydroponic and the water has a weak heater that couldn’t keep up in cold temps. Very excited to grow happy fresh vegatables in the winter.

I was surprised how well this stuff works! I installed it in cat house with an oil filled space heater and temperature controlled outlet. The temperature stays between 59 and 61 degrees at all times.

Measured my 2-door garage door and ordered based on those measurements but only had enough to do about 85% - 90% of the door. That being said, I still like the product: it cuts easily, is easy to handle and seems to be the right thickness to help keep the garage cooler in the summer. Would suggest ordering more than you think you need if using for a garage door.
