DFB Foil Backed Gypsum Board is bonded with the special aluminum foil sheet at the back liner of the board to provide 95% reflection of thermal radiation, allowing comfort temperature level in the area. In Cold climates, this panel forms an effective vapor retarder for walls and ceiling when applied with foil surface next to framing on interior of the exterior wall. Foil backed Gypsum panels provide a water-vapor retarder to help prevent interior moisture from entering wall and ceiling spaces.
