These are actual pictures sent in to us from customers who have installed WareHouseFoil™ radiant barrier on their own in a commercial building or shed. Most customers end up getting over 85% coverage in these types of spaces; however, even if you miss part of the space or can only access part of the warehouse, installing radiant barrier WareHouseFoil™ will still be very effective. Do you have some pictures or a testimonial you would like to share? Please send them to us!

A tried and true tip: measure and cut the foil on the ground first. Then take it up to the attic or up the ladder to staple up sheet by sheet.

When there is metal framing, you sometimes have to get creative with attaching the radiant barrier. Adhesives, screws and magnets have all been tried with success.

Leaving gaps at the peak allow air to move around all sides of the foil - which is important for moisture management.

AFTER (notice the small hole cut near the peak to allow for additional air flow from behind the foil. There is also a run on the left side of the photo where a gap the length of the roof was left. Small gaps like these greatly improve air circulation and don't really have a negative impact on your overall coverage.

Even a garage that uses the walls for storage can benefit from adding radiant barrier. Ideally if you can get at least a 3/4" gap between the storage and the foil, the foil will work to keep heat out of that area.

Tip: Measure each panel separately - not all panels are the same dimensions. Measuring first will allow you to minimize waste and get it right the first time.

You can run the foil across the top of the purlins and get a wide amount of coverage in a little amount of time. WareHouseFoil™ with White Vinyl would make this look even nicer, with a bright white finish.

If you have a flat roof, you can still use radiant barrier foil. Many customers will add the foil over the roof (outside) and they have experienced improved comfort inside the living space below. The single-sided foil is a great choice for applications like this.

Here you see WareHouseFoil™ stapled directly to the wood studs. This leaves an air gap of several inches between the exterior and the foil, so the foil reflects heat away from the interior.

Wood framed buildings are the easiest installation because you just staple the foil insulation to the wood. For large areas, an electric staple gun works especially well.

A warehouse install with WareHouseFoil™ radiant barrier installed across the purlin supports. This was an in-progress photo with the foil done on about 3/4ths of the building.

Added benefit of adding foil to your warehouse is that you can improve workspace lighting too!

BEFORE: A metal storage shed for an RV with metal framing.

AFTER: The foil + white vinyl product.

Metal framing requires creativity when attaching the foil. This customer used the Foil + White Vinyl and secured it to the framing by pinching the foil between the frame and wooden strips that were screwed to the inside the the studs. The foil faces the air gap created by the studs and reflects the heat away.

Double sided foil is great for any application. For applications where you prefer a more finished or professional look, the foil with white vinyl is a great choice as long as the foil side will face an air gap of at least 3/4".

If the foil is your inner most layer, it will do best at keeping heat inside the building. During colder months when you're heating, the foil will reflect heat back inside to keep your warmer.

This company was constructing a farm storage building and used our product to help stop heat gain in summer and help retain heat in winter from a wood burning stove.

If you install the foil on walls catching direct sunlight, it is best to have the foil closest to the outside layer as possible, while still maintaining an air space on one side of the foil.

A structure like this will greatly benefit from WareHouseFoil™ since it has no shad right above it and it's not conditioned.

Adding the foil on the outside of the framing before the walls and ceiling go on is an easy way to install and it gives you great coverage! The inside will show the foil and help reflect light too!
