Radiant barrier, also known as reflective insulation, is a very efficient and convenient way to insulate your home
Heat rises, and most heat loss in your home occurs through the roof. That’s why most of your home’s insulation is found in the attic. During colder months it will rise right up through your ceiling and out your roof. And during the summer months, the sun beating down on your roof will cause your house to heat up like an oven. Radiant Barrier Insulation solves this problem. Radiant Barrier Insulation is a type of insulation made of from a reflective metal attached to a substrate (cardboard or even wood) and looks a lot like aluminum foil. This reflective surface bounces heat back where it came from before it can make its way inside during the summer. In the same way, it reflects heat from escaping during the winter, saving large amounts of energy. |

Is Radiant Barrier Insulation Right For My House?
Radiant Barrier Insulation is perfect for homes with attic air ducts, worn-out attic insulation that isn’t doing its job anymore, and especially for homes with asphalt roofing – which absorbs heat from sunlight very easily, driving up the interior temperature and your A/C bill. It can be applied in crawlspaces, attics, and even basements. If your home gets a lot of sunlight in the summer, radiant barrier can make a big difference in your hot your home gets.
