	Innovative Energy, Inc. 10653 West 181st Avenue Lowell, Indiana 46356 Te1: (800) 776,-3645 / (219) 696-3639 Fax: (800) 551-3645 / (219) 696-5220 Website: www.lnsul.net E-mail: info@insul.net [ Click Here ] for additional information.
	INNOVATIVE ENERGY has been marketing reflective insulation products for over 20 years. ASTRO-FOIL Reflective Insulation and HEATSHIELD Radiant Barriers are the primary products that marketed world-wide. Astro-Safe's acoustical and thermal performance is the best available. The smooth foil surface assures minimum air friction loss and acts as an additional insulator preventing heat loss or gain between blower cycles. The tough foil surface allows ducts to be cleaned with standard rotating brush systems. Innovative Energy has complete technical expertise and can advise you on most any application.
