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).

Aluma-FoilTM is available in two widths:

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

2) 51" x 117.65 lineal feet (500 sq. ft. rolls)

For further product information, please do not hesitate to contact a representative of AFS

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-Foil
TM
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."
