Carmika Premium -- Heavy-Duty Bubble Insulation

Superior Strength, Superior Thermal Performance.

Carmika Premium, a premium-grade product under the Carmika brand by Shish SmartBuild, is a heavy-duty, rigid bubble insulation material engineered for demanding industrial, warehousing, and commercial building projects.

Manufactured with a rigid polypropylene (PP) air bubble core laminated between high-strength reflective aluminum or metallized foil surfaces, Carmika Premium delivers enhanced thermal insulation, maximum radiant heat reflection, and superior mechanical impact resistance.

Carmika Premium offers higher rigidity, greater puncture resistance, and higher tear strength, making it ideal for PEB structures, metal sheds, logistics hubs, agricultural facilities, and high-value industrial constructions.

At Shish SmartBuild, we engineer protection that stands stronger, lasts longer, and performs smarter -- season after season.

Key Features and Custom Options

Rigid Polypropylene Core

Provides outstanding mechanical toughness and crush resistance during installation and lifetime usage.

High Radiant Heat Reflection (>=97%)

Reflects the majority of incoming solar energy, reducing internal building temperatures.

Superior Moisture and Vapor Barrier

Protects insulation spaces from condensation and humidity-related issues.

Increased Tear Strength

Enhanced resistance to tearing and puncturing (ASTM D2261: Warp 20-30 N; Weft 18-28 N).

Extended Lifespan

Designed to endure tough handling, rough site conditions, and high thermal stress.

Safe, Non-Irritant Handling

No fibers, dust, or hazardous emissions during handling and installation.

Installation Instructions:

1. Under New Metal Roofing Installation

  • Unroll Carmika Premium over roof framing (rafters or purlins) before fixing roof sheets.
  • Align sheets carefully -- no need to stretch the insulation.
  • Overlap adjacent sheets by at least 75-100 mm (3-4 inches).
  • Fasten insulation to purlins or framing members every 400 mm to 600 mm using heavy-duty staples, mechanical fasteners, or washers.
  • Seal all overlaps and seams using reflective foil tape to maintain vapor barrier continuity.
  • Install metal roofing sheets directly over the insulation.

2. Retrofit Installation (Inside Existing Roofs)

  • Secure Carmika Premium using light framing (wood battens, tension wires, or steel channels) inside the existing shed.
  • Maintain an air gap of 20-50 mm between Carmika Premium and the roof sheet to optimize radiant barrier performance.
  • Staple or fasten securely at regular intervals.
  • Tape seams and overlaps carefully.

3. Wall Applications

  • Install vertically or horizontally across wall studs, leaving an air gap where possible.
  • Fasten using cap nails, screws with washers, or mechanical fasteners.
  • Seal all joints with reflective tape for maximum moisture and thermal control.

Installation Tips:

  • Handle carefully to avoid damaging the reflective surface.
  • Maintain an airspace for best thermal performance wherever possible.
  • Foil side must face the air gap for maximum radiant barrier effect.
  • Do not overstretch or compress the rigid sheet during fixing.
  • Install during dry weather for best tape adhesion and sealing.
