I have used the Prodex 48" inch on an existing pole barn ceiling and walls. I also used it on my wooden hunting cabin. It did a wonderful job sealing and insulating the barn and the cabin, and also reflects the light very well. Order #*******
I was very skeptical when i bought over the internet the insulation for a steel building that i already had built. The building in the summer is like a microwave and in the winter like a freezer. I bought the insulation and installed it which is very easy to install. Right away i noticed the difference when the sun was out and also hot out the building was nice and cool. I would recommend this to anyone. I used the Prodex total 10.
I used the 10M insulation for my horse trailer. I'd never attempted a project like this before... had never even used a caulking gun! The insulation was very easy to work with, the metal sealant worked great, and the whole project was a success. My husband was impressed and that's saying something, lol. My trailer is much cooler! Highly recommended!
I have used the prodex underneath my beach house, attached up inside the floor joist. Foam is NOT a good choice, Termites can find their way underneath that method, and termite folkes will not bond your project. So far i think this will provide a great alternative since it reflects heat/ cold and also will NOT absorb moisture, which is a huge factor and would negate anything that fiberglass insulation would have done for me.
I ordered Prodex insulation along with adhesive and used this product to insulate a metal building and immediately noticed the difference. Insulating the metal building with Prodex stabilized the temperature as well as the moisture.
How can Prodex M10 (. 4 inch thick, rated at R17) closed cell foam have as good of thermal insulation as 3" polystyrene board, impossible. I asked for proof or test results and all I got was a smart $#*!, rude kid who refused to call me and was destined to make me the bad guy. If you look at their Tec sheet they test with a 9.25" air space! Try and find a customer service phone number! I paid $300 for shipping UPS for Houston to Asheville, "with discount", for two 341sf rolls 4 ft by 2.5 ft dia! What a rip off. The under concrete tape for $20 a roll is lower grade than most packaging tapes. A++ BBB how?
I have an A-frame 120+ year old barn in northern Indiana, a large portion of it has a second floor. One of the ceilings is approx. 16-17' off the ground. At some point in time a higher ceiling was installed in the portion that didn't have the second floor, using only 2"x6" boards for support, with plywood over them. I didn't know what the best way to insulate it would be: spray foam, fiberglass, foam board, etc. Fortunately I found Prodex. Using the double layer 10M total plus, I was able to install two layers of insulation in the air space, not only did it give great insulation, but the foil surface makes for huge light reflecting. Easy product for one person to install, but an extra set of hands helps.
I used Prodex in 2 of my metal pole barn applications and it has performed flawlessly.
I used fiberglass r 13 in one application and it has had mold issues within 6 months
I am now tearing off finished walls and killing the mold then installing Prodex
My wife and I remodeled an old house. I researched your Prodex online and liked what I saw. I installed it as house-wrap and in the attic like you showed on the instructions. It installed easily. It is much more comfortable inside and I see a difference in our energy costs.
I have used Prodex on several jobs now and think it's great. I recommend it for any one, remodeling or doing new construction. It installs easily, can be placed under new floors or new sheetrock and makes a noticible difference in hearing and cooling.
I have a 20' W x 30' D x 14' H warehouse space with a metal ceiling. Summer 2015 I had to run the air conditioner all day to keep the place below 100 degrees, tripling my electric costs. Summer 2016 I purchased the Prodex insulation. It works amasingly! I am reading temperatures about 127 at the metal roof of my shop during the blasing Florida sunshine. The insulation is 18 inches below that and my temperature guage adjacent my desk is 18 inches below that. The guage has yet to extend above 100 degrees. And this is without using the air conditioner.
Thank you for a great product!
We are very happy with our Prodex insulation, we used the insulation to line our roll up warehouse doors which were the only un-insulated part of our building. We cut the insulation to fit inside the panels of the door and layered it up for more insulation. We did have some problems attaching it to the metal doors but ended up using wood lattice to secure it. The wood grain finish is beautiful and we are looking forward to being nice and cool for the kids this summer! www.bouncefarmfun.com for more details about our Green Facility!
We have been very pleased with the Prodex product. We installed 2 layers of the 16" in our attic between the 2x8 rafters. It was easy to install, and didn't leave our skin and eyes irritated like fiberglass.
We plan to order the 48" product for the metal roof of our new shop.
Thank you,
I lined my van and barn roof with the 10M. I cut strips from the roll so I could give it a tiny air-gap on my van. On my barn I attached it below my studs. I do a lot of camping, so I really needed some insulation for the van. It makes it made it more comfortable during the day and night in there. Order V*******
I've had my building for over 30 years and can't believe I waited this long! I live in one of the hottest places in the country and the inside of my building has never been this cool this time of the year. My neighbor just insulated his building with 8" fiberglass and sheet rock and he couldn't believe my building was cooler than his. Order *******
I remember the delivery took about a week. Install is easy if you use a drill gun. I used ¾ inch screws. I went with the 10M exclusively on my pole barn. I used a combination of the 24 inch and 10M on my basement walls. I put the 24 inch between the studs and installed the 10M over the inside of the studs. It's a good product. It solved the dripping issue in the pole barn. I'm impressed with the temp difference in the barn and basement. I plan on ordering more when I redo the roof on our place in AZ.
Prodex Total is a great product. I used the 24 Inch in my crawlspace. I used a combination of the 10M and Fast Action in my metal building. My neighbor was also impressed. He said, "I can come in your building now and not have to change my shirt from sweating
We add the Prodex Fast Action to almost all the metal buildings we sell. Our customers are happy with it and it adds value to our buildings. We only sell fiberglass to a few customers now. Prodex is a much better fit for metal buildings.
Great product. I took a while to finally pull the trigger and order, but I'm glad I did. The fiberglass was falling down in my shop. The 10M is the one I went with. No more drip in my building. Order Number V*******
I used Prodex on my ceiling, crawlspace and shipping container. I couldn't work in the container before because it was too hot. I used a combination of two layers of Prodex on the ceiling and one layer on the walls. I also grew my vines over the container to make it look better plus add some insulating value wow! I don't need to run air in there. Good stuff. Order number *******

You have to wonder about the motive of this person to post this review:
He purchased the wrong product for his application.
We specifically recommended a different product (Prodex Under Concrete).
He ignored our recommendation.
He posted propaganda from our competitors.
He complained about the tape which was not designed for the product he bought.
He characterized his communications with us as: “ all I got was a smart ass, rude kid who refused to call me and was destined to make me the bad guy.”
Below you’ll find our email to him. We’ll let you be the judge of it all:

I was thinking of using one of your products under concrete below radiant hot water pex tubing. So the layers would be; gravel, vapor barrier, INSULATION, tubing and concrete. 24' X 24'.

Do you have some proof your. 4 inch insulation is R22? It seems to defy the laws of physics
Monday, October 11,2021 at 2:38 PM I4L response:
Attached is technical brochure. It provides the parameters of the testing. Do you have such comprehensive information on the testing of the fiberglass insulation in your house? Please provide “proof” with the parameters of its test of the stated R-value.

In regards to shipping you wrote: “What a rip off.”
Shippers base pricing on the roll SIZE and classification! Shipping size: 4 ft. X 24 in. X 24 in., 33 lbs. Class 300 insulation, non-boxed, non-skidded, loose rolls shipped from zip 77029. Call any shipper and provided the above information and you’ll be quoted MORE than we changed you. Secondly, the charges were displayed in FULL prior you your confirming the order.
You wrote”: “How can Prodex M10 (. 4 inch thick, rated at R17)…”
We DON’T’ specify an R-value for your under concrete application.
Concrete can have a reaction to foil; therefore we DON’T recommended 10M for that application.
The under concrete tape you referenced is not designed for use with the 10M product.
We provided you the parameters of the testing; therefore you KNOW!
See: Measuring R-value “The parameters of the R-value test for fiberglass and cellulose insulation involve no moisture or wind. You might be saying, "That's ridiculous. That can't be. Those aren't the conditions of my home or building."
Even in the desert there is humidity. All buildings and houses leak air and water. Water vapor from the atmosphere, showers, cooking and even breathing move back and forth through the walls and ceiling. Those of you in humid areas may lose half of your R-value with fiberglass or cellulose insulation.
Fiberglass is assigned an R-value of 3 to 3.5 per inch. Remember it will only achieve this number in a zero moisture and zero wind environment. Fiber insulation placed in an improperly sealed house will allow wind to blow through it as if there were no insulation at all. In the event of flooding the R-value goes to zero. Even small amounts of moisture will cause a dramatic drop in fiberglass and cellulose insulation's R-value. The question you should ask Mr. Or Ms. Fiberglass and Cellulose is, "What is your R-value in my real-world environment?
U.S. Department of Energy: "The R-value of some insulations also depends on... moisture accumulation."
