Alubrite

Description

Alubrite® is a premium radiant barrier insulation system engineered to provide exceptional thermal performance while meeting some of the highest fire safety requirements in the building industry. Manufactured using reinforced aluminium foil facings and flame-retardant components, Alubrite® reflects radiant heat away from the building envelope, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.

Designed for installation beneath roof sheeting and roof tiles, Alubrite® acts as an effective radiant heat barrier, reducing heat gain during summer and assisting in retaining warmth during winter. Its superior fire performance makes it suitable for projects where non-combustible materials are required, including hospitals, hotels, educational facilities, public assembly buildings, high-risk factories, and warehouses.

Alubrite® complies with both SANS 428 and the latest SANS 53501-1 fire performance standards, making it one of the safest radiant barrier products available for modern construction.
