Radiant Barrier
Radiant Barrier is a great, cost-effective way for home owners to save energy throughout their home.
Your home reacts to the sun in one of two ways. It absorbs it or it reflects it. Radiant barrier insulation protects your home and reduces your energy by increasing your homes ability to reflect the sun’s energy. Specifically, Radiant Barrier reflects the radiant heat from entering the attic. The reflective surface of the aluminum inhibit radiation heat transfer. Without a Radiant Barrier System, the radiant heat will enter the attic, being absorbed by the insulation, and eventually transferred into the interior of the home.
Did we mention that radiant barrier insulation is one of the safest types of insulation to install in your home! Feel the difference!
