Radiant barrier attic insulation. Our do it yourself radiant barrier will make your home more comfortable and energy efficient. Put simply a radiant barrier stops the sun s heat from entering your home your roof is heated by radiant energy from the sun which travels through your roof via the process of conduction. This method also reduces the heat subject to attic mounted ac duct work thereby allowing them to work more efficiently. The barriers consist of a highly reflective material that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it.

But most people find that cost prohibitive to their budgets and go with either or. Radiant barriers are utilized to reduce summer heat gain in attics. Heat always gravitates to cold so if you want to keep your home cool in the summer the heat is trying to get in. This thin reflective material is designed to bounce the sun s heat away from your home instead of allowing your attic to absorb the heat and pass it into your home.

The underside of your roof in your attic becomes hot and radiates this energy to the rest of your attic and home. Attics heat up when the sun s radiant energy heats the shingles and the heat is transferred to the interior attic space through the roofing materials via conduction. Radiant barriers are installed in homes usually in attics primarily to reduce summer heat gain and reduce cooling costs. Radiant barriers reduce the radiant gain to air distribution ducts and insulation located below the radiant barrier.

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 transfer from the attic to living spaces resulting in lower utility bills. Radiant barrier is a home insulation type that is focused on reducing summer heat gain. Super r plus attic insulation super r radiant barrier super r radiant barrier is especially effective in an attic application because that is where most of the heat enters or leaves a home or structure. Unlike traditional thick layers of insulation radiant barrier is a thin reflective material.

A radiant barrier is a reflective material located in an attic beneath the roof deck that reduces radiant heat transfer caused by solar heat gain in the roof. It s versatile and will save energy throughout your home.
