RADIANT BARRIER INSULATION

Do you need to re-insulate your attic? Radiant barrier insulation and low-e reflective coatings increase your home's ability to reflect the sun's energy, which keeps your home cooler in the summer. Radiant barrier insulation installation most effective in reducing heat absorbed into locations like your attic.

In order for a radiant barrier insulation to be considered effective, the foil material must allow less than 10% of the radiant heat to pass through it. With low-e reflective coating, effectiveness is achieved when less than 25% of radiant heat passes through it.

Any home can benefit from having radiant barrier installed, but particularly homes with:

  • Little or no attic insulation (or insulation that has aged considerably)
  • Extremely hot rooms on the second floor
  • Asphalt shingle roofing
  • Little or no shading from trees
  • Air ducts in the attic
