There are companies selling 5 wrap tubing that put it into a 4\" tile. All of Badgerpipe\'s is in a 5 inch tile because there is too much insulation to fit into a 4\" tile. Also, there are companies that only install the reflective barrier on one side of the insulation. And to make matters worse, they put it on the side away from the tubing which reduces the effectiveness of the reflective qualities.
Yes, we have seen others claiming there tubing tests better than Badgerpipe\'s. Badgerpipe would advise taking these results with a grain of salt, because we have seen inconsistencies in the claimed results.
