![]() While I was there I also picked up duct puddy to make a tight seal around my speakers and adapters. So I went on down to the local Home Depot and found a 25' roll of U seal for $16.87. Before going big and buying all my sound deadening from second skin I wanted to see what kind of impact, if any, a deadener/cld tile would have. Ok, I'm sure a lot of you have heard of U Seal and peel n seal products. r/electricvehicles - For electric vehicles r/diyaudio - Audio Projects & talk For the DIY'er r/soundsystem - PA's, Concert Rigs, Road Gear r/hometheater - For the HomeTheater lovers r/audiophile - Strictly High Fidelity discussion r/CarAVvendors - CarAV vendor info/deals r/CarAVclassifieds - CarAV's trading hub Please remember to restrict product promotion posts to 10% or less of your total combined self and link posts as per reddit spam guidelines.

Wrapping directly to either the kettle or a blanket isn't terrible, it just doesn't give much bang for your buck.Heads, Subs, EQs, etc. If the primary goal is insulation, then the correct answer is to either increase the thickness to slow conduction (add another blanket) or provide an air gap around the blanket so that the reflectix can act as designed as a radiant barrier. Placing it against the blanket is not much different than against the kettle - it can't reflect energy while it's simultaneously absorbing it. As noted earlier, when it's placed in direct contact with another surface, it becomes a conductor. A radiant barrier works by reflecting radiant (infrared) energy. Insulation works by slowing heat transfer via conduction. There is an important distinction to the bolded part in your comment: insulation is a solid with a lot of air in it, but it is not the same as an air gap. On a kettle, it would be more analogous to the foil tape you would use around the seams of your insulation. It doesn't technically add anything to your insulation but rather maximizes what you already have. Tyvek is a vapor barrier that can help prevent drafts through cracks/crevices. Some aluminum hvac tape to close the top and bottom edges should keep it all in place for easy setup/takedown.Ĭlick to expand.Addressing your house analogy first, primary insulation comes from the fill in the walls. then when you fold back the reflectix to make the second/outer layer you'll have an air gap. you take foam backer rod (1/4 or 3/8 or 1/2") and run it around the kettle, then tape it to the inner layer so that it sits like ribs. The easiest way to use reflectix and actually get some decent insulation is to essentially use a double wrap by folding it back on itself. but because reflectix has metallic coating, this enables heat transfer by contact. and paper and fiberglass liners/batt are not good conductors. The difference is that your typical fiberglass insulation is like 60-70% air by volume. insulation touches your sheetrock and your exterior sheathing as long as you dont compress it. roof should have some, but thats for convective air movement, not necessarily for insulation per se. ![]() Click to expand.no, there isnt an air gap.
