A material made from aluminum foil has first-class radiant barrier abilities of enhanced reflectivity and less emissivity. High reflectivity enables it to reflect very much of the roof’s smoldering heat. Its low emissive feature reduces the amount of heat that it puts out through the attic insulation below.
Your roof absorbs a significant amount of heat and then emits into your attic and home. Installing a radiant barrier is extremely important to tackle the major form of radiant heat transfer not currently being controlled by your typical insulation.
The radiant barrier will not harm any roofing materials if done proficiently, as an air gap must be left. Not affected by damp, the foil insulation will sustain to perform at a consistent level no matter how moist the seasonal climate is.
The radiant barrier offers a permanent way to reduce your monthly utility costs. It is a clever investment, particularly in a warm and sunny environment.
