İzocam Aluminum Foil-Faced Roof Blanket: Dual Protection for Thermal Insulation and Moisture Control
İzocam Aluminum Foil-Faced Roof Blanket is a high-performance glass wool insulation product laminated with aluminum foil on one side. It delivers excellent thermal insulation while acting as an effective vapor barrier, helping prevent condensation, improve indoor comfort, and increase overall energy efficiency.
Product Overview
Developed from the İzocam Type 300, Type 350, and Type 400 Glass Wool Roof Blanket series, this foil-faced version combines outstanding thermal insulation with reliable moisture control. The aluminum foil layer significantly reduces water vapor transmission, protecting roof assemblies against condensation and extending the lifespan of the insulation system.

Key Benefits
Dual Protection
Combines high-performance thermal insulation with an integrated vapor barrier in a single product.
Excellent Energy Efficiency
Its low thermal conductivity minimizes heat transfer, helping reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Effective Moisture Control
The aluminum foil facing restricts water vapor penetration, reducing the risk of condensation, mold, and moisture-related damage.
Superior Fire Safety
The glass wool core is classified as A1 non-combustible, providing excellent fire protection for buildings.
Easy Installation
The lightweight, flexible blanket fits easily between roof rafters and adapts to different roof configurations.
Acoustic Performance
The fibrous glass wool structure effectively absorbs airborne noise, contributing to a quieter indoor environment.
Long-Term Durability
Maintains its shape, insulation performance, and mechanical stability throughout its service life.
Installation Recommendations
- Wear protective gloves, long sleeves, and a dust mask during installation.
- Protect the aluminum foil surface from tearing or mechanical damage.
- Do not place excessive weight directly on the insulation blanket.
- Install the insulation continuously to eliminate thermal bridges.
- Seal all joints with aluminum foil tape to maintain an effective vapor barrier.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is an Aluminum Foil-Faced Glass Wool Roof Blanket?
It is a glass wool insulation blanket laminated with aluminum foil on one side, providing both thermal insulation and effective vapor control for roofing systems.
2. Where can it be used?
It is suitable for metal roofs, prefabricated buildings, sandwich panel systems, industrial roofs, cold storage facilities, and any roofing application where condensation control is essential.
3. What is the purpose of the aluminum foil facing?
The aluminum foil acts as a vapor barrier, reducing moisture penetration into the insulation and helping prevent condensation, mold growth, and moisture damage.
4. Is the product fire-resistant?
Yes. The glass wool core is classified as A1 non-combustible, while the aluminum foil facing is classified as Class F for surface reaction to fire.
5. Which direction should the aluminum foil face during installation?
For optimal vapor control, the aluminum foil should face the interior (warm side) of the building, unless otherwise specified by the project design or local building regulations.
