What is reflective foil insulation (RFI)?

Insulation is a material that is placed on the side of a wall that is internal to space being insulated. RFI is a reflective insulation that has the explicit objective of insulating the inside space from heat generated particularly by light-i.e. sunlight. You'll likely find reflective insulation at the closest point of contact in which the sun hits the so called membrane of the inside room. This location is key, because the insulation is reflective, i.e. it bounces light and heat in, generally, the opposite direction. So, if you place RFI at the bottom of your insulation stack, your this will likely produce a sort of greenhouse effect, where whatever heat does get through the initial layers of insulation, will be reflect by the outer reflective insulation but will likely be faint enough to be trapped at a rate of 98% back inside the room.

RFI is cost effective; it's a light material, and builders like it because it's amiable in terms of shaping in hard or difficult contorted positions on more intricate roofing and insulation projects. RFI is typically made of aluminum, and is relatively light weight and physically easy to manage.

Again, the location within the stack of insulating materials should be at the top or closest to the point of contact, i.e. closest to the sun. RFI is known to reduce the amount of heat that lower lying insulating materials have to absorb by a rate of 15 to 65%, depending on the quality, the thickness, the engineering of the aluminum.

RFI is relatively cheaper in the Atlanta, Phoenix, Miami, and Los Angeles metros due to those locations' overbearing sun exposures during the summer, or even year round. Some fireproofing insulation comes built in with RFI; these products however are only found in roofing insulations, and less so with room to room insulating materials and products. Foam board insulation does not typically carry any RFI features, while mineral wool insulation never carries any RFI features.

Where can RFI be installed?

RFI is typically installed in and during roofing projects. Again, the objective is to place your RFI where the building will be seeing the most sun-or any sun for that matter. If you're on a tight budget, you really shouldn't skimp on RFI, though. It's difficult to undo or redo, and when you get insured, you incorporate such features as RFI into your risk profile-i.e. your insurance agent will ask you if you have RFI installed, and where you have it installed. Same goes for tax credits related to energy savings, so called green initiatives, and sustainability programs in your area.

RFI is usually installed toward the top of your house, but your sun exposure is unique to your building, and should be analyzed and respected on a case by case basis. Your basement, as unusual as it might be, could be a point of high sun exposure. You might have a sun or moonlight feature that is an opening at mid ground to your basement. You'll want to check this point for abnormally high sun exposure, especially if it's on the side of the property that bears the brunt of the morning or setting, or worse, lunch time sunlight.

When can RFI be installed?

RFI is installed when the property project is completed; it's typically installed soon after the frame of the project and building is completed, when there's a roof to speak of, and an insulating room to protect the exposed insulation material from the elements. The timing of RFI installation is key, since it's very difficult to go back and correct poorly timed RFI pieces-especially if the roofing project is one that's intricate, detailed, or unconventional.

RFI is a great tool to use, if you're lacking in space, or if you're in an industrial space that doesn't allow for very many of the conventional insulating materials that aim to absorb. They're also great for outdoor use, where humidity and rains can spoil absorption based insulating materials, such as wool insulation. The general rule is that if your property and building project is over 1,000 square feet, you'll not want to do this project on your own, but rather have a professional contractor do this for you.

The Wise Homeowner's Choice - Aluminum Patio Covers!

As a wise homeowner you're always on the lookout for improvements to your house, and to your budget. An aluminum patio cover is one such astute improvement. It extends the useable area of your house. The improvement adds value to the house. You can use the aluminum patio cover for any number of things - a shed for your car or for gardening equipment, a canopy for an entrance, anything that requires a little more space than you already have. An aluminum patio cover may appear costly compared to other patio covers, but when you factor in the durability, ease of installation and zero maintenance of aluminum patio covers, the cost of ownership is actually much less than that of any other type of patio cover.

Though patio covers can be made from a number of materials, the excellent durability and zero maintenance of aluminum patio covers make them the prime choice of wise homeowners. The value addition to the house is quite appreciable when it comes time to move.

A patio is the best way to enjoy the outdoors. You're protected from sun and rain and yet you can enjoy the breeze and an unobstructed 'window-less' view of the world at large. Aluminum is much stronger than other patio materials. So it is better able to protect you from weather phenomena like rain, snow and hail.

The aluminum patio cover is easy to keep clean. A solution of soap and water is ideal for cleaning an aluminum patio cover, though you may opt for a cleaning solution that's specially formulated for cleaning aluminum. Take a brush with a handle long enough to reach the top of the aluminum patio cover. The aluminum patio cover slopes downwards at an angle and you can easily reach every part of the patio cover with the cleaning brush.

Rainwater can run off the aluminum patio cover and collect in puddles. A drainage system is an advantage to have. The drainage system allows the rainwater to flow off easily and conveniently away from the patio area. Have one installed when you're getting the aluminum patio cover installed.

Aluminum patio covers need not look uniformly 'aluminum white'. Select from a range of factory-painted styles and patterns to suit the exterior appearance of your house. Or, you can add a personal touch by painting it yourself. Paint takes well on aluminum, spreading evenly, so you will enjoy painting the aluminum patio cover. You can use a solid color for it, or you can get let your imagination run riot!

An aluminum patio cover is an investment that is its own reward! Choose the style and design that really suits your house and your personality. You will spend many mornings and evenings sitting beneath the aluminum patio cover, enjoying the fresh air, enjoying the flowers growing in your garden, watching the sun rise, watching the sun set! The joy that you'll experience is well worth the investment. What's more, in real dollar terms, the aluminum patio cover will return every penny you spent on installing it. Now that's called great value for money!

Budget restrictions may make you look at patio covers made of materials other than aluminum. This may turn out to be a 'penny wise, pound foolish' strategy. You will spend as much on maintaining these patio covers as you did on buying them in the first place. If you do have to replace the patio cover, which is a distinct probability, then you'll end up paying thrice its retail price! Instead of adopting this non-aluminum strategy you should look for cheaper models of aluminum patio covers. You're sure to find one that suits your budget, though it may take a little extra time and effort. Be wise, get an aluminum patio cover and forget maintenance costs, replacements, and the weather! Now let's do something about that pesky fly...!

Should I cover my terriyaki drumsticks?

Marinating chicken drumsticks in a terriyaki marinade. Last time I cooked them with this the top burnt because of the sauce, should I cover them with aluminum foil so it does not burn the skin? Thanks very much.

I would cover them except for the last 10 or 12 minutes to let them brown. This way the moisture will also stay in them.
