Reflectix vs Block-IR (CAP)

[noone88]

I had some Block-IR from CAP and I also stopped by Lowe's for Reflectix. They are almost the same product. Imagine thin layers of bubble wrap with foil on each side; that's what these products are.

I believe the Reflectix brand may be superior because I saw a double-layer of bubble insulation versus a single layer of bubble insulation in the Block-IR.

Lastly, Reflectix is a bit cheaper than Block-IR. 4'x25' roll costed me $44ish + tax. Horticulture.source.com has the Block-IR 4'x100' for $200 + shipping.

I've heard its the same thing as far as blocking IR goes. Although, Around here the Lowe's/Home Depot version costs about half of the price of Block-IR.

Nice.......are you using this right now?

Not currently, I may be soon though, depending on which route I take on an upcoming project.

4x175 (700 sq ft) for 239$

Plus they are 'local' to me.

Reflectix and Block IR are same thing. 2 layers of emergency solar blanket with bubble wrap in between.

Just don't spill any ph down or any acidic mixture for that matter. Wipes the reflective properties right off
