Attic Insulation Photo Album: What is Radiant Barrier?

Radiant Barrier is a highly reflective sheet that is much like aluminum foil that is low maintenance and requires zero power to act as boundary between the outside air and the inside air, while also helping to reduce the naturally rising temperature of your attic due to the sun.

Top Floor Too Hot?

Is the upper level of your home too warm in the summer? If you live in a warmer climate, Radiant Barrier may be the solution for you. When the sun hits the roof of your home, it conducts heat through the roof and into your attic which will also impact the temperature of your home. Radiant Barrier will block this.

Aluminum Foil For Your Attic

The simplest way to describe the science behind Radiant Barrier is to think of it as it basically is, a big sheet of aluminum foil. Like the kitchen gadget, it creates a physical barrier that help minimize moisture, conducted heat, and the transfer of inside versus outside air.
