Fi-Foil VR Plus Shield - Reflective Multi-Layer Hybrid Insulation
VR Plus Shield™ is a cutting-edge hybrid insulation product that creates high R-value walls cost-effectively. The hybrid insulation system combines low-emittance surfaces and enclosed air spaces. Combined with traditional insulation, such as fiberglass batts or spray foam, it creates a superior insulating system at an unmatched price point. VR Plus Shield™ is an especially attractive solution in areas with stringent building codes. It provides insulators and builders with a versatile, low-cost, easy-to-install hybrid system that achieves R-20 in small wall spaces.

A Reflective Insulation Hybrid Solution to Maximize Your Walls R-value
VR Plus insulation addresses the dominant form of heat transfer—radiation—with layers of high-reflectance and low-emittance materials. This configuration creates three reflective air spaces between the interior wall and traditional insulation that adds an additional R-8 to the wall, which can reduce the amount of spray foam or fiberglass batts needed to achieve the desired R-value.
M-Shield® has two layers. The inside layer is aluminum foil. The outer layer is a synthetic polymer material and the product is designed with small perforations to allow vapor transmission for applications not requiring a vapor retarder.
Our technology uses expanders that separate the paper from the foil to create reflective air spaces. When installed on furring strips, 16″ or 24″ on-center, the air is trapped inside the cavity, and the reflective components improve the performance.
Since the reflective layers also reduce the sizes of the airspaces in the cavity, reflective insulation also reduces heat transfer by convection. The result is a more comfortable building and better energy efficiency.
