Insul~Bright consists of hollow, polyester fibers needlepunched through a nonwoven substrate and through a reflective metalized poly film. The needled material is breathable and won’t break down with washing. The hollow fibers resist conduction while the reflective metalized poly film resists radiant energy. The energy, hot or cold, is reflected back to its source.
  • Needlepunched Insulated Lining
  • Reflects Heat or Cold Back to the Source
  • No Pre-wash Necessary
  • Machine Wash and Dry
  • Made in the U.S.A.

*At least one layer of cotton batting is recommended with Insul~Bright when used as Oven Mitts or Pot Holders. Insul~Bright is heat-RESISTANT, NOT heat-proof.

I am using Insul~Bright in ironing board covers I am making. I layer the backing, Insul~Bright, a layer of flannel and then the quilted cover. It makes a very nice padded cover. Easy to sew through.

I also would like to know what is the right & wrongs side it it hard to tell

Morgan
would like it more with more info... to what temperatures is this product useful in preventinting burn or freeze, to what durraation of touch, and what thickness of cotton batting is reccomended to use with it? thanks.

Tom
There is only one Mylar film. It is clear. Many manufacturers apply the mirror coating to make metalized mylar. The coating can be applied to one or both sides of the mylar film. From all appearances this stuff is coated on both sides. That would be useful to any firm which was doing pattern cuttings and aiming for the best utilization of the film.

Carla
I too have had difficulty telling the difference. Even applying heat to both sides using iron, really very little difference. Either put a correction on your website or even better, on your printed instructions please.

Kelli
I agree with above comments. Both sides have an element of shiny so it is VERY difficult to decide which one to use. Please change packaging to give precise instructions as to which side is the one that redirects the heat. Thank you.

Karen
I also can't figure out which side to use. One side of fabric is shinier than the other, but when you look at cut edges, the shinier metallic material is on the fuzzier/duller side. What to do!?!

Tiffany
One side is obviously batting and the other side is the shiny side - the one with the metallic look to it. I thought it was pretty easy to figure out. I don't like having to use a second layer of batting - double the cost and bulk.

Rhonda
I love this product but think there should be something on the package telling us what the quilting requirements are. For those of us that are a little more creative than simple pot holders we need to know these things.

Last year's insulbrite definitely had a shiny side. What I just bought at JoAnns for this year does not! Why the change? I agree with Eileen. What I bought by the yard at JoAnn's had no directions and so I am online trying to figure out what to do.

Greg
Eileen I just scraped the fuzz off a corner to find the shiny side. I have several projects : a sleeping bag pad, hammock under-quilt, anorak liner, tea cozzy from scrap. I'm looking to stay warm but body moisture to pass through. The big test will be this spring while making maple syrup, snowshoeing on 3-4 feet of snow staying warm but not wet.

Purchased several yards of Insul Bright to make thermal window shades, pairing it with blackout window shade material inside of a heavy drapery fabric sleeve for the shade. It cuts and sews easily, without dulling scissors or breaking needles. Works very well for blocking cold in winter, or heat in summer! Used scraps since then in making warm, but light costumes with quilted wings and neckpieces. Washes well with no apparent loss of insulating ability.

eileen
i like this a lot for the idea, but i have a major complaint--you say use the shiny side toward the heat or the cold. i've tried to figure out which is the shiny side and just don't get it!! i think you should have something marked on it somehow. am i the only person who's said this? people where i got this didn't know which was which either
