in the ladder of the top companies involved in the manufacturing and marketing of Reflective
insulation material. Following is a brief overview about the aspirations and objectives of the
company.
Why Is Bubble Wrap a Good Insulator?
Bubble wrap makes great insulation because air is a good insulator, and bubble wrap is nothing more than
bubbles of air wrapped in plastic; bubble wrap is cheaper and easier to use than other, traditional
alternatives; and it can be reused many times.
Why Is Bubble Wrap a Good Insulator?
Bubble Wrap
Definition
Insulation is any substance that protects one space or material from the temperature variations of an
adjacent space or material. Any substance can act as an insulator, though some are much better insulators than others. The ability of a substance to act as an effective
insulator depends on how it resists temperature changes and how quickly it can dissipate heat.
Air and Bubble Wrap
Air, particularly air in a confined space, is a good insulator because the air inside the space
tends to resist temperature changes. The air inside changes temperature slowly because the
air molecules move around, making transfers of energy (heat) between one molecule and
another more difficult to accomplish
Bubble wrap is nothing more than plastic wrappedaround many individual volumes of air; thus, the airinside helps bubble wrap to resist temperaturechanges. Bubble wrap shares this feature withcavity wall insulation "by combining with the stillcaptive air, the insulation acts as a barrier to heatloss" according to The Environment Site.
Application
Bubble wrap can be attached to windows simply by spraying water on the window first and then spreading
the smooth side of the bubble wrap over the wet surface. To apply a double layer of bubble wrap, tape can
be used to attach the second layer to the first.
Reuse
One of the greatest things about using bubble wrapas an insulation material is that it can be used againand again, so long as it remains in relatively goodshape. If you can keep children (or yourself) frompopping all the bubbles, then the bubble wrapshould be usable for many, many seasons. However,
Disadvantages
Bubble wrap is not clear, so when it is used to insulate windows that window can no longer
see out of. It would only last a year or two if it were kept in a window year-round.
Additionally, bubble wrap is not a great insulator in extremes temperatures
