Aluminium Coated Insulation - Flue Wrap 12mm x 1m

Glass Fibre Aluminium Foiled Mat - High-Temperature Insulation Flue Wrap

VITCAS Glass Fibre Aluminium Foiled Mat is a versatile insulation material designed for both thermal insulation and reflective heat shielding in demanding industrial and domestic applications. Made from high-quality glass fibre, it can withstand temperatures of up to 550°C /1022°F, making it ideal for high-temperature environments. The aluminium foil on one side provides excellent heat reflection and acts as a vapour barrier, although it is best suited for temperatures up to 300°C / 572°F. This dual-layer design makes the mat especially effective in applications where both heat reflection and insulation are required, such as flue wraps. 

In flue systems, the aluminium foiled mat helps maintain optimal temperatures, reduces condensation, and prevents tar build-up, extending the life of the flue while improving stove efficiency. The foil acts as a protective shield, reflecting radiant heat, while the glass fibre layer offers strong thermal resistance.

Key Characteristics:

• Glass Fibre Heat Resistance: Withstands continuous exposure to temperatures up to 550°C / 1022°F, making it suitable for high-heat industrial applications.
• Aluminium Foil: Reflects radiant heat, improves energy efficiency, and serves as a vapour barrier, though it is less resistant to direct heat exposure, withstanding up to 300°C / 572°F.
• Flexible and Easy to Install: The mat can be easily cut and shaped to fit a variety of installations, providing reliable insulation for different applications, including flue wraps.
• Fire-Resistant: Non-combustible, providing a safe and effective solution for high-temperature applications.
• Improves Energy Efficiency: Helps retain heat in industrial systems and reduces energy loss.

Applications:

• Flue Insulation: Ideal for use as a flue wrap, insulating flues in stove and chimney systems to prevent heat loss, improve airflow, and reduce condensation and tar build-up.
• HVAC Ductwork Insulation: Insulates ducts to prevent heat loss and condensation in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The aluminium foil enhances heat reflection and vapour resistance.
• Industrial Ovens and Furnaces: Used to insulate the outer surfaces of industrial ovens and furnaces, ensuring that heat is retained within the system while reducing external heat transfer.
• Automotive and Marine Heat Shields: Suitable for shielding components like exhaust systems, engine compartments, and fuel lines, protecting them from excessive heat.
• Pipe Insulation: Perfect for wrapping hot water or steam pipes, preventing energy loss and protecting pipes from environmental damage.
• Boilers and Heat Exchangers: Provides insulation for boilers and heat exchangers, ensuring heat efficiency and safety while reducing noise.
• Fireproofing Barriers: Used as a fireproof barrier in walls, ceilings, and doors, offering thermal insulation and fire resistance.
• Kilns and Foundries: Provides insulation for kilns and foundry furnaces, protecting equipment from extreme temperatures.
• Roof and Wall Insulation: Commonly applied in roofing systems and wall cavities to enhance thermal insulation and energy efficiency in both commercial and residential buildings.

Usage Note:

When using the Glass Fibre Aluminium Foiled Mat in high-temperature applications exceeding 300°C (572°F), ensure the aluminium foil side faces away from the heat source to protect it from direct exposure, as the aluminium layer is primarily a reflective barrier and not designed for direct contact with extreme heat.
