I think our building code in New Zealand no longer allow foil insulation on new buildings for electrical safety reasons.
- samstave 4y agoThe safety of the Electronic Surveillance State is threatened by foil insulation, thus we will ban it :-)
- transpute 4y agoFoil insulation should be grounded, both for electrical safety and EMF shielding performance.
- teruakohatu 4y agoIt should, but the problem is when 20 years later the grounding is detached (for example new owners are not aware it is even installed). That is why it is banned here and installing it on a new building can carry a six figure fine.
- antod 4y agoI personally knew one of the reasons for that :(
