- How long does it take to install Radiant Barrier in my attic? It typically takes one day.
- What is Radiant Barrier? Radiant Barrier is a special type of reflective foil attic insulation that acts as a radiant heat barrier; meaning it actually blocks the transfer of radiant heat.
- How does it work? Radiant Barrier simply acts as a radiant heat barrier by reflecting radiant heat back in the direction which it came from. So, in the summer, when the majority of heat comes in through the roof, Radiant Barrier will reflect the sun’s heat BEFORE it penetrates your home. In the winter, as heat rises and tries to escape from the ceiling and roof, Green Energy Barrier will reflect that heat back into your home.
- Do I need to have other insulation in my attic in order for this product to be effective? No. Radiant Barrier may be installed on top of your present insulation or stapled under your rafters or crawl space. Regardless of how much or how little insulation you have in your attic, Radiant Barrier will save on your heating and cooling expense and will keep you much more comfortable.
- What will I save? Radiant Barrier will block up to 97% of radiant heat in your home and you will see a tremendous savings in your heating and cooling bills.
