A material made from aluminum foil has first-class radiant barrier properties of enhanced reflectivity and low emissivity. Greater reflectivity enables it to reflect much of the roof’s radiating heat. Its low emissive feature decreases the quantity of heat that it puts out by the attic insulation below.
Your roof absorbs a enormous amount of heat and then emits into your attic and home. Installing a radiant barrier is important to counter the principal form of radiant heat transfer not currently being controlled by your typical insulation.
The radiant barrier will not cause harm to any roofing materials if done professionally, as an air gap must be left. Unaffected by moisture, the foil insulation will continue to perform at a consistent level no matter how moist the seasonal atmosphere is.
The radiant barrier sets forward a once and for all way to reduce your monthly utility costs. It is a wise investment, particularly in a warm and sunny climate.
