REYNOLDS METALLATION*
Metallation* is bright, polished, genuine sheet aluminum, cemented to'one or both sides of heavy, tough kraft paper. Prop erly installed, it serves as effective heat insulation for dwellings and buildings, re ducing heat losses through walls and roof during winter, and maintaining more com fortable conditions in hot weather.
Metallation because of its light weight, has negligible heat storage capacity. In summer very little heat is stored in the insulation, to be released into the rooms after sundown and in winter very little heat is absorbed from within the room. Buildings which are intermittently heated or cooled can be heated or cooled quickly and economically.
Type A--Genuine sheet aluminum ce mented to both sides of heavy, tough kraft paper with 1)4 in. plain paper margins exposed. Type A is especially designed and scored for installation between studs, joists or rafters, with paper edges nailed inside framing members to form a curtain of insulation between two dead-air spaces.
Type B--Genuine sheet aluminum ce mented to both sides of heavy, tough kraft paper. Type B is especially designed for application horizontally or vertically over studs, rafters or joists, in a way that provides an air space on each side of the Metallation.
Type C--Genuine sheet aluminum ce mented to one side of heavy, tough kraft paper. Type C is especially designed for use as building paper, under sheathing or roof boards and in types of construction in^ which only one surface can face an air space.

PERCENTAGE OF HEAT TRANSFER STOPPED BY REYNOLDS METALLATION*
Coefficients (U) are expressed in Btu per hour per square foot per degree Fahrenheit difference In temperature between the air on the two sides of the construction. Columns (%) show the percentage of heat which REYNOLDS METALLATION stops from flowing through the respective constructions.
