Radiant Barrier

Is your home or building already insulated but still gets hot in the summer or cold in the winter? Maybe you should check out how installing radiant barrier can improve the situation.

Radiant barrier is installed in homes and businesses to keep summer heat out and to protect against heat loss during the winter months. In Dallas, radiant barrier is used primarily to keep hot, humid summer air out of our homes so to reduce air conditioning costs.

Radiant Barrier is not limited to just homeowners, they can be used in commercial or industrial buildings with equal success.

Radiant barrier generally consists of a thin sheet or coating of a highly reflective material, usually aluminum, that is applied to one or both sides of a number of substrate materials like craft paper, plastic film, cardboard, plywood sheathing and air infiltration barrier material. Other types of radiant barrier include reflective metal roof shingles, reflective laminated roof sheathing, and reflective chips.

Installation of radiant barrier in residential attics can be achieved by placing the material directly on top of existing attic insulation, by attaching it near the roof in one of several variations, by draping the radiant barrier over the tops of the rafters before the roof deck is applied or by attaching it directly to the underside of the roof deck.

While radiant barrier performs a similar function to that of attic insulation, it differs in how it reduces heat flow. Radiant barrier reduces the amount of heat "radiated" across an air space that is adjacent to the radiant barrier while conventional insulation only traps air within the insulation, therefore reducing heat from moving into the space beneath the attic space in your home.
