Roof Radiant Barrier Insulation

Radiant barriers are utilized to reduce summer heat gain in attics and help to improve the efficiency of green building envelopes.

Roof radiant barrier insulation.

A radiant barrier works best when it is perpendicular to the radiant energy striking it. We take a look at how radiant barriers work the different types of radiant barriers and some of the. A stapler tape measure utility knife straight edge and safety. Radiantguard radiant barrier foil insulation installed in an attics can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees when stapled with a staple gun to the underside of roof rafters by reflecting up to 97 of the radiant heat that strikes its surface thereby reducing heat.

A radiant barrier can be effective with an asphalt shingle roof only when installed inside the attic either to the underside of the roof decking or to the underside of the roof rafters. In these attic space applications there is an air space below the radiant barrier. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces including the air ducts and the attic floor. A radiant barrier reflects heat radiation radiant heat preventing.

A radiant barrier can lower heat transfer from attics to the building below keep the attic space cooler and lower cooling costs by up to 17 in warmer climates. The list of uses includes crawl space radiant floor attic and walls. Reflectix requires only basic tools. Our product is easy to handle and install.
