Southland Eco is proud to provide our revolutionary multi-layer reflective insulation products in the growing reflective insulation and solar products market. Homeowners get to experience the difference by lowering energy bills, eliminating hot and cold spots and protecting the environment. Our multi-layer reflective insulation is different from Radiant Barrier. It’s center core gives it additional R-values (see chart) and enhances additional insulation so it can do it’s job more effectively. All of our products are an American made and ...

1. Cut heating and cooling bills substantially.
2. Save wear and tear on heating and cooling equipment.
3. Help eliminate hot and cold spots.
4. Create a comfortable home environment.
5. Potentially increase resale value of home.
6. Help preserve the environment.

Our multi-layer reflective insulation employs two reflective surfaces that are over 99% pure aluminum which reflects 97% of radiant heat transfer.  Firefighters use aluminum blankets to help protect them from fire storms.  Paramedics use aluminum in emergency blankets.

Consider this: NASA uses aluminum properties to help protect our astronauts in space suits. Aluminum is used in the shuttle and lunar module.

Our mission is to help homeowners and businesses conserve energy, save money, and protect the environment. Reducing energy consumption protects the environment and decreases our reliance on foreign energy.  All of Southland Eco products are non-toxic, certified ASTM tested, and have a Class A/Class 1 fire rating.

CONDUCTION

CONVECTION
The movement of air, water, etc. being warmed and seeking out the coldest point.

RADIATION
Electromagnetic waves that travel at 186,000 miles a second in all directions striking cooler objects and generating heat. An example is a closed car in the summer or your attic.

Yes! Energy tests were conducted at the Johns Manville Technical Center, Littleton, Colorado. Our multi-layer reflective insulation passes the UL1715/UBC 26-3 Room Corner Wall Fire Test and meets all requirements for as required by the 2000 IBC.
Many other products claim a Class 1 rating, however, some bubble-pack or foam core reflective installation products generate a Flame Spread many times the 25 rating required to achieve a Class 1 rating.
