A material produced from aluminum foil has first-class radiant barrier properties of enhanced reflectivity and low emissivity. High reflectivity enables it to reflect very much of the roof’s radiating heat. Its low emissive quality reduces the quantity of heat that it radiates through the attic insulation below.
Your roof soaks up a great amount of heat and then emits into your attic and house. Installing a radiant barrier is important to counter the key form of radiant heat transportation not currently being controlled by your typical insulation.
The radiant barrier will not do damage any roofing materials if done proficiently, as an air gap must be left. Not affected by damp, the foil insulation will continue to perform at a steady level no matter how moist the seasonal atmosphere is.
The radiant barrier opens up a once and for all way to reduce your monthly utility costs. It is a smart investment, especially in a warm and sunny environment.
