Radiant Barriers

KEEP WARM HOMES WARM AND COOL HOMES COOL

You pay a great deal of money to heat and cool your home year-round. Do you know how much of that cash is escaping through your roof and crawlspace into the great outdoors?

Most homes lose up to 17% of their heating capacity through the roof or crawl space, even if they have insulation installed. The reason is that although traditional sprayfoam or cellulose batt insulations are excellent for reducing heat transfer to the outside of your home, they don't provide a reflective barrier.

A radiant barrier actively reflects heat on both sides of it's surface; keeping heat inside the home in the winter and reflecting heat out of the home in the summer.

A SPACE SUIT FOR YOUR HOME

Just like the space suits used by NASA, or the the aluminum foil you use to wrap your baked potato, a radiant barrier is intended to provide an active insulator against heat. When combined with insulation (either new or existing), your home can enjoy near perfect "Thermos-like" protection against hot summer days or cold winter nights.

EASY INSTALLATION

A radiant barrier is the perfect upgrade to new or existing insulation and can be installed in a variety of locations, including the underside of roofs in attics, the underside of floors in crawl spaces, or over ceiling insulation.
