Photo Album: Manassas attic gets a radiant barrier and insulation

A radiant barrier can be used to help keep your attic from heating up due to sunlight beating down on your roof all day. It can reduce the temperature in the attic by as much as 20 degrees compared to outside and helps to keep conditioned air from leaving the home. This Manassas VA attic received this service to pair along with a prior crawl space encapsulation in the home. Having the bottom and top spaces in the home treated by our service teams has created a more perfect envelope, controlling the environment and air inside the home while also helping to reduce energy expenses.
