A material made from aluminum foil has top quality radiant barrier abilities of high reflectivity and low emissivity. Greater reflectivity enables it to reflect much of the roof’s radiating heat. Its low emissive feature lessens the amount of heat that it puts forth through the attic insulation below.
Your roof soaks up a significant amount of heat and then pulses into your attic and house. Installing a radiant barrier is extremely important to combat the main form of radiant heat transportation not currently being controlled by your conventional insulation.
The radiant barrier will not do damage any roofing materials if finished professionally, as an air gap must be left. Not affected by damp, the foil insulation will continue to perform at a consistent level no matter how moist the seasonal climate is.
The radiant barrier opens up a everlasting way to reduce your monthly utility costs. It is a clever investment, particularly in a warm and sunny climate.
