We
here at AFS understand the need for a product to help those who suffer
from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Aluma-FoilTM
is a product designed to block out fumes and vapors from off gassing
building materials and other such products. Made to meet today's rigorous
performance standards, Aluma-FoilTM
is
a toxic barrier/vapor retarder that may help bring peace of mind to
you and your family. We understand that living with Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity is unpleasant, so let Aluma-FoilTM
help
make life a little better.
PRODUCT
INFORMATION
Aluma-FoilTM
is made of two layers of a 100% pure aluminum, laminated with a non-toxic
adhesive, to both sides of a heavyweight , natural kraft paper. Aluma-FoilTM
is a very durable product and yet about the same thickness as the cover
of a phone book. Because Aluma-FoilTM
is a vapor retarder, it should be installed like any other vapor retarder
( consult manufacturer or contractor for further details) and all seams
and penetrations should be taped ( we recommend Polyken 337 foil tape).

|
1)
25.5" x 235.29 lineal feet (500 sq. ft. rolls)

Q&A
Where
else can I use Aluma-FoilTM?
You can use Aluma-FoilTM
as
an underlayment or in an exposed installation if necessary. It can be
used virtually anywhere there is a need to block out toxic vapors from
offgassing products, such as insulating materials polystyrene, polybutylene,
polyethylene, particle board, plywood, OSB board, laminates, paint finishes,
etc..
How
do I know that this product will work?
As you know, the degree of chemical sensitivity varies from individual
to individual. However, in over ten years and over one million sq. ft.
sold, of both Insul-Foil and Aluma-FoilTM
(Same-Product), we have yet to have a complaint or material returned
for non-performance.
Is
this a product I can install myself?
The answer is yes. Our Aluma-FoilTM
product
comes in very manageable size rolls but, when taking on a large job
you might want to consider using a licensed contractor. When building
a new home or remodeling, remember to have your architect specify AFS
Aluma-FoilTM.
Is
this a durable product?
A luma-FoilTM
is very durable and is made with only high quality materials, but because
it is made with aluminum foil it may wear rather quickly when used in
high traffic areas.
Who
says Aluma-FoilTM
works ?
Mary Oetzel (Consultant) of Environmental Education and Health Services
in Austin, Texas (512) 288-2369 Mary says; " Aluma-Foil
TM
is
my first choice in vapor barrier for my clients. Its low toxicity and
ability to seal off fumes and vapors are the primary benefits to chemically
sensitive persons. Contractors value Aluma-Foil
TM
for its high performance and ease in handling.
Aluma-FoilTM
is
used widely both in home renovation projects and in new home construction.
I am grateful for this high quality product and for the excellent service
AFS provides to my clients."
