    Do electrical wholesalers sell silver foil tape that is heat reflective?

    Ive seen a few sparks with it,in their tool boxes.Im presuming that its for some sort of insulating use with regards wooden joists of a floor or celings??

    Thanks.

    The only lads i ever seen using that tape on sites were plumbers and air-con guys,
    cant say I know a lot of electricians using it.

    Its very handy stuff to have,I got a roll off a lad and I used it to tape ducting onto extractor fans.

    You should try a plumber wholesaler like Kramer said.
