Superior Heat Reflecting Membranes for use in buildings... In winter, an Apollo HRM System will help to keep a building warm, yet in summer prevents the sun from overheating its interior. In summer, infrared energy from the sun is easily absorbed by roof and wall structures. Through conduction and convection, excessive heat can penetrate the building's insulation layers, eventually radiating to the interior causing an unwelcome temperature rise. A HRM System blocks the infrared energy passing through structures so the insulation layers and the interior are kept cool. In winter, the system has the reverse effect; it stops warmth escaping from ceiling, wall and floor structures. By sealing the building’s envelope and deflecting infrared energy back into the interior, fuel is not wasted in heating up the building’s insulation layers.
