Pearl sheet insulation is a light reflective sheet used under roofs and around ducts to cut radiant heat.
Overlap and tape the joints.
What is a pearl sheet insulation?
Polyurethane (PU) foam fills, seals and insulates gaps around pipes, ducts, doors and panels. Spray cans give expanding foam on site, while two-part systems made from polyol and isocyanate produce rigid foam for panels and cold rooms.
Silicones, gas sealants and foils finish the job. High temperature and fire rated grades exist for hot or fire-separating joints. Therefore, choose the grade by temperature and fire needs.
