Alububble 2906

Alububble 2906 (Single sided Alububble) Overview


Alububble® is a superior performance radiant barrier material, simple to use and cost effective.

This product is manufactured using a modern sophisticated continuous laminating process which consists of a layer of low density Polyethylene air cells laminated on both sides with aluminium foil or alternatively on one side with a white polyethylene layer which provides an aesthetically pleasing finish to the underside.

Alububble® uses the thermos principal of providing a reflective barrier along with adjacent air space to keep the building cool in summer and warm in winter.

Alububble® will not propagate fire and does not present a fire hazard when installed in a building.

Alububble 2906 Advanced Benefits and Features

  • Protects your roof space from heat build up due to radiant heat penetration by acting as a heat barrier to protect all services within the roof space from from drying out, cracking and degradation due to UV and Solar heat gain.
  • An effective water vapour barrier under roof tiles or sheeting.
  • Improves the performance of bulk insulation by effectively reducting the temperature within your roof space.
  • Non Toxic
  • Non Carcinogenic
  • Does not attract rodents
  • Has no fibres
  • Easy to install – No safety equipment needed during installation
  • Reduces Dust penetration into the roof space.
