Alububble 1983
Alububble 1983 (Double sided Alububble) Overview
.GIF){kind=spacer}
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.

The guarantee does not cover the discolouring or deterioration of the product due to it being installed in a corrosive or contaminated environment.
The extent of the liability shall be restricted to the replacement of the product only and does not include the cost of removing and refitting the roof.
Alububble 1983 Advanced Benefits
- 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 reducing 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.
