Insulation
Alpha Systems is a leading distributor of a full line of insulation products to the RV, manufactured housing, mobile modular and van conversion industries. Our quality Johns Manville brand insulation is formaldehyde-free and offers peak energy efficiency. We have the insulation product to meet your specific needs. Insulation is available in unfaced, FSK-, foil- and kraft-backed options. We offer a wide range of standard R-values (R7, R11, R13, R19, R30 and R38) in numerous sizes. Alpha also carries a radiant barrier, which has superior reflective properties to provide significant energy cost savings.
Johns Manville’s formaldhyde-free thermal and acoustical insulation is made of long, resilient glass fibers bonded with a thermosetting resin. A wide range of available thermal resistance R-values provides thermal control for both vertical and horizontal applications. This insulation is available unfaced or with a variety of facings, including kraft or foil vapor retarder.
Alpha’s reflective radiant barrier is a double-sided aluminum film with a woven polyethylene core. The polyethylene center acts as a thermal break preventing condensation from passing, while the reflective exterior shields the living space from radiant heat. In the RV industry, radiant barrier is primarily used in the roof, floor, sidewalls and front or end caps.
Alpha’s insulation features and benefits include:
- Formaldehyde-Free
- Thermal Resistance
- Sound Control
- Fire Resistant and Noncombustible
- Resistant to Rot and Mildew
- Noncorrosive and Will Not Deteriorate
- Superior Performance
