Radiant barriers can be used to cool your attic


Your attic may be 40 to 50 degrees warmer than the outside air during the height of the summer. Radiant heat from this sharp rise in temperature enters your home through your insulation, taxing your air conditioner and ultimately making it unbearably hot inside.

While we provide many different ways to deal with the intense heat of the summer, today we're going to focus on radiant barriers.

 

Radiant barriers are a form of energy-saving technology that bounces back UV rays from the sun rather than allowing them to warm up the attic. radiant barrier attic are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including foil-backed foams, foil sheeting, and even spray-on systems.

 

Another benefit of our spray-on radiant barrier is that it can be installed much more quickly than working with ridged or tear-prone materials, allowing us to finish the job more quickly and let you get back to your day.

 

Our spray-on radiant barriers may actually significantly lower attic temperatures, so it's definitely worthwhile to have them installed, especially if you're also getting other insulation work done.

 

The best home energy saving system is created when our various insulation and energy-saving services are combined.

 

If all you can see when you look up in your attic is the wooden roof deck, you don't have a radiant barrier installed, and the extra heat your attic generates is costing you money every day.
