A material created from aluminum foil has top quality radiant barrier properties of greater reflectivity and less emissivity. Greater reflectivity provides an opportunity to reflect very much of the roof’s radiating heat. Its low emissive property lessens the amount of heat that it puts out by the attic insulation beneath.
Your roof sucks up a great amount of heat and then puts out into your attic and home. Installing a radiant barrier is important to combat the principal form of radiant heat transfer not currently being controlled by your conventional insulation.
The radiant barrier will not damage any roofing materials if completed professionally, as an air gap must be left. Unaffected by humidity, the foil insulation will continue to perform at a consistent level no matter how humid the seasonal atmosphere is.
The radiant barrier offers a once and for all approach to decrease your monthly utility costs. It is a wise investment, particularly in a warm and sunny atmosphere.
