The only choice for under Vinyl Siding, HardiBoard and Attic Radiant Barrier Installation.

MicroVent is a perforated reflective insulation and radiant barrier. The perforation provides breathability, making it perfect for

• Attics with existing insulation.
• Placing under vinyl siding.

MicroVent is ½ microfoam polyproplylene with reinforced, high purity aluminum foil. This makes it an excellent thermal, vapor, condensation barrier. It is mold, fungus, and insect resistant.

MicroVent has a reflectivity of .97 and a R-Value in the wall (horizontal) of 10.2

Microvent at a Glance

• REFLECTS HEAT
  MicroVent™ effectively reflects a heat source as opposed to absorbing and dissipating it as fiberglass insulations must do. This reflectivity works both ways: radiating summer heat outward and retaining winter heat inside.
• EASY TO USE(New Patented Self-Taping)
  Because MicroVent™ is made with plies of MICROFOAM (an extremely low-density, flexible polypropylene foam), it is much lighter weight and easier to handle than other reflective or fiberglass insulation products.
• SMOOTH FINISHED SURFACES
  MicroVent™ will provide equal or better insulation properties when compared to much thicker 2"-3" fiberglass insulation, but will not produce an "oilcan" effect like thicker insulation can, due to the nominal thickness of MicroVent™
• PRACTICALLY ELIMINATES
  Bird and insect infestation.
• CONDENSATION CONTROL
  When installed correctly, MicoVentâ„¢ provides an excellent thermal and vapor barrier, greatly reducing condensation buildup.
• SIMPLE, SAFE INSTALLATION
  MicroVentâ™ requires only a pair of scissors or utility knife and a staple gun. It does not require masks or long clothing for installation.

"Out performs ALL OTHER thermal barriers"

Temperatures in attics can reach and exceed 170 degrees. - This can make a home uncomfortable, expensive to cool, and shorten the life of a home's A/C system. MICROVENT™ can prevent 97% of the radiant energy from transferring into the attic area, reducing peak attic temperatures drastically, and improve the heat transfer in your attic with as much as 50% or more. 75% of your heat loss or heat gain is radiant, why not use an insulation that will reduce the radiant heat gain or loss by 97%? By installing MicroVent reflective aluminum foil radiant heat barrier insulation in your attic, you can help increase comfort in your home and decrease residential utility bills. MicroVent™ insulation is the best radiant barrier to retard or retain the radiant heat that strikes the surface of your home, business or animal barns.

We've cut out the middle man to get you the highest quality insulation at factory direct pricing.

Example uses of MICROVENT™ Reflective Foil Insulation

Post Frame Applications
Installed in the wall and roof of post frame buildings, MicroVent solves the two most critical issues, which are heat gain/loss and condensation control

Metal Building Retrofit Application
MicroVent is commonly installed with new buildings, but it may also be installed in existing buildings to the underside of the purlins. MicroVent insulation helps to make the interior more comfortable, and will not cause condesation issues. MicroVent is ideal for meal buildings because the material resists abuse during and after installation. It is also preferred for this application because it looks great and hides unsightly purlins

(Radiant barriers installed in this manner must be perforated MicroVent™ to prevent moisture from being trapped in the mass insulation. In areas where dust accumulation would be an issue, it should be noted that the emmitance of the top surface of the radiant barrier would be degraded, reducing the thermal performance of the radiant barrier.)

MICROVENT™ Advantages

Energy efficient PERFORATED RADIANT BARRIER ALLOWS MATERIAL TO BREATHE

It allows moisture and humidity to escape. Eliminates Condensation. Condensation in attics can cause water build up, mold/fungus growth, additional a/c costs, wood rot, ceiling problems and much more.

Moisture condensation can be a real concern when a radiant barrier is installed on the attic, particularly in extremely humid or cold climates. Water vapor in the air can condense on the surface of the roof sheet. To minimize the risk of water damages to ceilings or risk of corrosion due to condensation under roofs, a micro-perforated radiant barrier could substantially assist in the reduction of condensation and prevent potential moisture problems

MicroVent™ is the best insulation to use under vinyl siding, HardiPlank or anytime you want to eliminate condensation problems.

• Perforations eliminate trapping of water vapor behind the panel
• Low moisture absorption
• Flexible -- bends easily around corners without crackingo
• Provides a solid, flat surface for new vinyl siding installation
• Does not crumble and clutter the jobsite
• Will not encourage bacteria, fungi or mold growth.
• Easy to install
• No carcinogenic fibers to breath
• it provides a continuous layer of thermal and air infiltration protection.

EASY QUICK INSTALLATION.

Staple to sheathing and install sidingl. Has self seaming tape to reduce installation time and moisture leaks. NO OTHER TAPE NEEDED! No need for house wrap, then insulation that only gives you very small R Value. MICROVENT WILL GIVE YOU R 10.2 on side wall application WITHOUT air space and you will not need a separate moisture barrier.
