Attic Radiant Heat Barrier

Radiant barriers are made of aluminum and designed to reflect radiant heat from the sun.

Attic radiant heat barrier.

They don t however reduce heat conduction like thermal insulation materials. A cooler attic space means less heat moving to the cooler space below the attic. Radiant barriers are installed in homes usually in attics primarily to reduce summer heat gain and reduce cooling costs. 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.

Atticfoil is the proven solution for 250 000 homes. A radiant barrier is designed to increase the effectiveness of your thermal envelope. When installed properly radiant barriers can reflect up to 95 of the radiant heat off the attic. Radiant barriers are a reflective foil insulation that reduces heat transfer into attics.

The goal of adding a radiant barrier in your attic is to cover as much of the underside of the roof as possible. You want to add the foil on all surfaces that make up the roof but you also need to keep vents open and clear of the foil. 100 satisfaction 1 year money back guarantee. Radiant barrier is a home insulation type that is focused on reducing summer heat gain.

Our do it yourself radiant barrier will make your home more comfortable and energy efficient. The hotter it gets the better radiant barriers work.

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.
