Does this work just like the other regular insulation foils? How thick is this?

Regular foil is paper thin this is like 1/8" like packing plastic. The box is about 2'x2'x4'

I used it in my garage on exposed roof rafters. I like the look of the white instead of the foil yes, it works the same as other foul bubble insulation. It's about 3/8" thick.

We haven't used it in the summer yet but it is double bubble around 1/4-3/8" thick. We are using it on our popup camper to layer the ends and top to keep heat out. We went camping when it was cold and used it and it seemed to keep some of the wind and cold out. Hope this helps!

It seems like foam. Do the specs not say? I used it on outside pipes this winter during two blasts of temps in the 20s for more than 24 hrs and it worked fine. The auto seal is so much better than using electrical tape. Installation was a snap. I'm very happy with it and recommend it.

Plain aluminum (kitchen) foil works well for this purpose. This product should work a little bit better as it will (slightly) reduce conductive heat loss as well.

It comes around the edges - don't know for sure what you mean by thick - but really works good!!

I don't know if it's an approved practice, but I've done it. I use a lot of heavy duty and non-stick aluminum foil, too. That's the easy and wasteful way.

It works with other plastic wrap, but their wrap is better. I am planning to use my empty one for aluminum foil but I haven't done it yet. I can see no reason for it not to work. I ordered a second one so I can do this. I really like their wrap box.

It is not terrible thick, about like a cardboard liner or silicone liners you can buy for cookie sheets. But it lays flat and cleans up easily. I cut it to fit the pan you place in the toaster oven

yes, these are very thick. I use mine to freeze lunch portion left overs. When you accidentally drop one of these plastic containers after it is frozen, it doesn't break like other flimsy ones.

I'm no expect. From what I've read about reflective insulation is it only has about R-1.7 rating at best when it doesn't have an air space. Everything I've read about this type of insulation states it works best with an empty air space between the wall and foil. All seams must be taped over, preferably with aluminum tape.

I've never used a emergency blanket so couldn't tell you.. However I can tell you it is pretty thin.looks just like foil but no where near the feel. The sound IS annoying but it works. We use it foil size up, but there is a insert that I noticed says you can use it cloth-ish side up. Makes the same amount of noise. Sorry I didn't have the name of the material. Pretty light though.

The insulation is polyester batting. Not sure what brand it is, but it will be similar to hollowfill.

All I did was wrap it around the pipe and double insulated it with M-D Building Products 2378 Foil Backed Pipe Wrap and M-D Building Products 4929 3-inches-by-25-Feet Fiberglass Pipe Wrap I bought here at the time I got this tape. I also used a Farm Innovators Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock for the electrical extension and it's already been tested to -13 below 0 and it's worked without having to let the water trickle all night and no pipe freeze ups.

Similar products have a conductive insulation R-value of 6.5. However, the full insulation value also includes the aluminum foil on both sides of the double bubble insulation. The aluminum foil adds a reflective insulation value. The effect of both the bubble insulation and the reflective foil is said to reduce heat loss by 40 % or so. The aluminum foil reflective portion is said to be similar to the effect the foil has on the radiant heat entering your attic space.

No way to measure thickness of the foil, but it is thicker than aluminum foil on a roll. Bends easily. Melts when it catches on fire as it sometimes does.

It's a little thicker than heavy duty aluminum foil. Don't have an exact measurement though. It's not really flimsy & doesn't rip easily. It's really quite strong.

You definitely can not tell any difference in thickness. Have used these for a couple years. You will not be disappointed. Huge rolls. The roll won't fit in your unit so I just put the roll on the outside and feed them through the hinge area. Works perfect. I find no difference in the ability to remove all air. They seal and vacuum perfectly

Yes, if you keep the foil side facing into the heated space. It has no insulating value though since it is very thin.
