FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can rFOIL insulate if it's so thin?
It is a common misconception that insulation must be thick to perform well. It is also a common mistake to consider only a material's R-Value when choosing insulation. It is highly possible for a thinner reflective material to provide better thermal performance than a thicker non-reflective product.
Not including gold and silver, pure aluminum is the most reflective material on the planet. The thin aluminum layer in rFOIL reflects radiant heat energy; and this ability is unrelated to the product's overall thickness and R-Value.
Will rFOIL prevent condensation? If so, how?
Yes. rFOIL is an outstanding solution to condensation problems. The thermal break provided by the bubbles prevents warm, moist air inside a building or duct system from interacting with cold air surface. When installed correctly, with secure seams, condensation will not occur on the surface of the rFOIL.
How long does it take to assemble a yurt?
Assembly time is dependant on the size of the yurt., smaller sizes can go up in a few days with two or three people helping, and the larger sizes usually take around a four to five days with three people. YurtZ by Design provides an Installation Manual, complete with diagrams,a list of tools required, and hardware needed.
