DISCLAIMER:
Fire Foil reflects most of the infrared heat that is generated by fire,
and this infrared heat is the primary starter of fires in dwellings and
vehicles near wildfires. No warranties or guarantees are given or

Fire Foil Testing
Test starts at 11:40 with two infrared
heaters 3" from the surface.
After 90 seconds the wood begins to
char. Some smoke
Four minutes shows more charring and
smoke. No smoke on Fire Foil side
and back side of plywood not even warm.
Five minutes into the test and smoke is
increasing. No heat
behind the Fire Foil side.
Eight minutes and the wood reaches flash
point.
No heat felt on the back side of the Fire
Foil.
Over an hour and no burning or smoke on
Fire Foil side. Unprotected side
has burned through. Back side of Fire
Foil
side is warm to the touch.
Over ninety minutes and no burning, no
smoke and the
backside is only warm to the touch.
Obviously this is not a scientific, government funded, laboratory controlled test. However, it's also obvious that the same heat that ignites wood in eight minutes can be safely reflected away for over ninety minutes with no gain in temperature after the first twenty minutes.
Media: This test can be safely
duplicated in your studio

CONCLUSION
We are not fire experts. We are
however experts
at understanding the movement, effects, sources and problems caused by
radiant
heat. We have learned that there are only two ways to limit the
effects
of infrared heat:
1) Absorb it and deal with the heat
gain
2) Reflect it and change the direction
Changing the the direction of infrared heat
at
the surface of your home into one that is highly reflective is the best
insurance
against losing your home to fire.
