Insul-Bright Insulated Batting – Reflective Heat Resistance for DIY Projects
Upgrade your kitchen and home crafts with Insul-Bright, the industry-leading insulated lining designed to put the “fun” in functional. Whether you are a seasoned sewist or a crafting beginner, Insul-Bright makes it easy to create professional-grade, heat-resistant accessories that are as practical as they are beautiful.
Why Choose Insul-Bright?
Insul-Bright is engineered using high-quality US-manufactured polyester fibers needled through a reflective metalized polyester film. This unique construction provides dual-action thermal protection:
- Resists Conduction: The dense polyester fibers slow down the transfer of heat.
- Reflects Radiant Energy: The metalized film reflects heat or cold back to its source, keeping hot dishes warm and frozen foods chilled.
Versatile Applications
Because the material is breathable and machine washable, it is the perfect choice for high-use household items:
- Kitchen Essentials: Pot holders, oven mitts, and trivets.
- On-the-Go Dining: Insulated lunch sacks, bottle warmers, and casserole carriers.
- Pet & Baby Toys: The signature “crinkly” sound of the metalized film is perfect for soft books and sensory pet toys.

Important Care & Safety Notes
- Microwave Safety: Insul-Bright contains a metalized film and is not recommended for use in the microwave.
- Sound Profile: Due to its reflective core, this material makes a slight crinkling noise. While ideal for toys, it is generally not recommended for apparel/clothing.
- Heat Resistance: For high-heat items like oven mitts, we recommend using at least one layer of cotton batting alongside the Insul-Bright to protect against moisture (steam) transfer.
