Choose the 2mm Pro if:
- You live in a hot or moderate climate.
- Your building doesn’t rely on a heating system regularly (less than about 8 hours/week or not at all)
- You want a lightweight insulation option that’s easy to handle.
Choose the 6mm Supreme if:
- You live in a cold climate or experience harsh/wet winters.
- Your building requires regular heating (8+ hours a week but not full time 24/7).
- You need enhanced moisture resistance and greater insulation power.
Choose the Radiant Barrier (or Foil/White) if:
- Your goal is heat rejection only - not looking for a vapor barrier.
- Your building is not heated/cooled.
- You want an economical way to cut down on the heat coming inside for an effect like putting the building in the shade.
Choose the Thermal Wrap if:
- You are creating a fully conditioned space that is heated/cooled daily (like an office or a home).
- You are looking for a vapor barrier wrap product for new construction.
- You plan to use another insulation in addition to the radiant barrier, like spray foam or batt insulation for a higher R-value.
- You have a limited space to install and need a thinner product that is also a radiant barrier and vapor barrier.
