The HDPE furring strip spacers are great for use in NEW construction when you're wrapping the outside of the building to create the air gap between the foil surface of BlueTex™ and the metal skin. The air gap allows the foil to work as a radiant barrier to reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in winter. |

Double-Sided tape has a myriad of uses but particular to BlueTex™ installation, this can be used to attach the BlueTex™ to the outside of your frame without using fasteners. You can also use the double-sided tape to attach the 2mm Pro BlueTex™ to your roll up garage door or residential panel style garage door. |
