You do know why they have a dull side and a shiny side right? They cannot produce the thinner material in one sheet so they have to produce two. The shiny side is simply that way because that side faces the rollers - which are highly polished and shiny themselves. The matte finished side faces another sheet of foil.
Can you believe I got through that thread without my old joke about it being linked to
Alzheimers.
Bottom of post 4. LOL

It can go downhill fast.
FYI - The reflectivity of bright aluminum foil is 88% while dull embossed foil is about 80%. |
