I have used coreflute for insulation, temporary window, etc - best use is back window cover to prevent rocks bouncing back from caravan causing damage - when we do long stints outback I always carry old pub posters or election posters.

Hi peter n margaret, never seen this. Will have a look. Wonder does the silver deteriorate over time with the sun. Thanks.
The silver is aluminium foil, so will not be effected by the sun.
It is made for insulating duct work.
It might be easily damaged by trees and bushes on narrow tracks.
Be careful when choosing "Coreflute". It is made from polyethylene which is usually virtually un-glue-able. The stuff used for signs etc is especially surface treated so that paint (and some glues) will adhere. If you use second hand signs it will be fine to glue. If you buy new stuff from Bunnings etc it might be OK or it might not be.
Then there is other stuff which is made from polycarbonate. It can look the same as "Coreflute", or it can look different. It is stiffer and more expensive. It is also available clear or tinted. It is more easily glue-able, but some hydrocarbons (and solvents in some glues) will destroy it. It is used for roofing. Bunnings sell this too including in small sheets and various thicknesses. This is the material that Solar4RVs supply at 10mm thick strips for their solar vent kits.
