Silver Reflectix DW1202504 Spiral Duct Wrap Insulation

Homeless in Kansas: This is worth the money. I am homeless and I sleep in my car and now I can block my windows so that nobody can see in. It got really cold last night and I was able to turn them around and keep the heat inside my car all night.

K. Hirsch: I am a single woman, living in a large apartment building in NYC with a built-in AC/heating unit. I had custom built-in cabinets added for storage alongside the AC/heating unit and for aesthetics, I covered the AC/heating unit's front and the non-vent part top so it looked pretty and seamless with the cabinets. It does look great, but the level cold air flow felt from the AC was greatly diminished. The air was getting trapped in the front wood panel which has about 2 inches of space between it and the AC/heating unit to align with the front of the built-in cabinets.

I did a little reading and thought if I used the black foam pieces to seal 'leaks' in window AC to take up the depth between the front wood panel up until the vent begins on the AC/heating unit (the black foam is squishy so you can easily make it fit your space), then cut a piece of this bacteria, flame and water retardant Reflectix Spiral Duct Wrap to cover the black foam, ensuring it reached from the AC/radiator top to the top of the built in and covered the width of the entire AC/radiator no black foam showed I'd have a great heat/cold air protective barrier which would be both water and flame proof. I then...

Dr. Who: I have a 12000 BTU Portable Air conditioner I use to cool my living room during the summer. I have a Window Kit so that the exhaust duct has proper mount. The Window Kit is sealed and very effective. The problem with portable air conditioners is the exhaust hose gets really, really hot. I have used a surface thermometer and it is more than 115 degrees on the surface of the hose at the hottest point.

I tried wrapping it with towels but it just lowered it to about 96 degrees. So I decided to try this. And it is a good thing I did.

After wrapping the exhaust hose with this and sealing it with Reflectix Tape, I tested the temperature. It was 84 degrees. that is 30% cooler that before with just a single layer of this. I could probably wrap it twice to even get that lower.

The portable air conditioner is blowing really cold air now, and it not having a hard time anymore. A must have for Portable air conditioners. Highly recommended with the Relectix Tape.

Since my first Portable AC was so successful, I went and got a Portable AC for all our rooms. For my 10K BTU AC units, I would only need a single layer of this. I...
