Explaining How Radiant Barrier Works

In this photo above you can see the side of hot box that has the fiberglass and is without the layer of Radiant Barrier is at a much higher temperature because the Radiant Barrier is reflecting a tremendous amount of the radiant heat. The side without the layer of radiant barrier shows 83 degrees hotter showing you how much heat it keeps out in the summer.  In the winter it would be doing the same only in reverse reflecting the heat back into the home having 2 layers help all 3 forms of heat gain/heat loss, conduction, convection and radiant heat.

The Primary Consideration for Insulation is:
How much heat it holds, not how much heat it keeps out.
The only consideration should be how much heat is it REFLECTING!

Why would we want to absorb the heat into our insulation?
 Radiant Barrier eliminates the absorption of heat !

 We understand  that most consumers today are less concerned about how the energy barriers work,  but they are concerned on the effect it has on their energy bills and utility bills!! This is why we have tried to educate what your primary consideration for insulation should be .........

The advantages are numerous and what most people don’t realize is that if NASA is using it to protect from the harsh environments of outer space and our astronauts from extreme temperatures,  then why shouldn’t we use it in our homes to help save energy &  money .More importantly add to the comfort of our home and thus making our homes more luxurious for our families, whether it be in the hot summer or the freezing winter!

It works both ways in both directions!

 Radiant barrier makes your temperature stay constant causing you not to have to re-adjust your thermostat, which in turn saves you big Dollars.

Radiant Barrier  Installation

It’ll never breakdown!  It'll last a lifetime guaranteed and you'll never need to reinvest in insulating your home.

Our Company's Radiant Barrier is a Product you can be proud of!

Studies of Radiant Barrier

In the United States the addition of a radiant barrier to an R-19 system is significantly more advantageous than R-30 ceiling insulation.  In fact, it is possible that R-11 ceiling insulation plus a radiant barrier will out perform R-30 ceiling insulation in most of the world.  Radiant barrier on it's own is a better stand alone insulation than normal insulation, because it does not absorb heat or cold.  The use of double layers of radiant barrier has outstanding performance in all climate zones.   

Results of Various Studies on the Effect of Radiant Barrier

Proven Cost Effective

Radiant Barrier foil has been tested, proven or approved to be a very cost effective energy conservation product by the following organizations; The F.S.E.C., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee Valley Authority, The University of Florida, University of Mississippi, Davis Energy Group, Public Utility Commission of Texas, R.I.M.A., Bureau of Home Furnishings, U.S. Testing Center, Geoscience's, Texas A&M, University of Texas, Florida D.C.A., University of Hawaii, Northeastern Illinois University, F.P. & L, I.R.C.C., N.A.S.A., Florida State University, M.I.T., National Bureau of Standards, L.S.U. and American Society of Heating and A/C Engineers.

Special Benefits:

Increased comfort, long lasting, odorless, proves durability, lightweight, clean, safe, no vapor problems, fast payback, keeps the air in the A/C ducts cooler, down size A/C, reduces energy load requirements for heat and A/C systems, extends the life of you A/C and heater, reflects thermal radiation very well, decreases humidity emits very little heat because it does not absorb heat, no special tools necessary, easy to install, no maintenance, will not shrink, no moving parts, no susceptibility to insects or vermin.  Radiant Barrier adds to the usable space in your home for example un-insulated, unconditioned spaces such as garages, porches, work rooms and attic storage places, but most of all increased comfort in your home.

Safety Precautions:

The installer should wear proper clothing and equipment. Handling conventional insulation may cause skin, eye and respiratory system irritation. If in doubt the effects of the insulation, protective clothing , gloves, eye protection, and breathing protection should be warn. Be especially careful with electrical wiring , particularly around junctions boxes and old wiring. Never staple thru or near electrical wiring. Work in attic only when temperature is reasonable. Work with a partner. If attic is unfinished watch where you walk. If you step in the wrong place you could fall thru the ceiling. Watch you head . In most attics, roofing nails penetrate through the underside of the roof. A hard hat may be of some use. Do not cover any recessed lights or vents with Radiant Barrier when doing attic floor application.
