WHAT IS RADIANT BARRIER ATTIC INSULATION ?

Radiant barriers are installed in homes -- usually in attics -- primarily to reduce summer heat gain and reduce cooling costs. The barriers consist of a highly reflective material that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it. They don't, however, reduce heat conduction like thermal insulation materials.<br>

  1. WHAT IS RADIANT BARRIER ATTIC INSULATION?

  2. ATTIC INSULATION Attic insulation is a very important part of our homes, which helps to keep us cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Today, we have more options when it comes to insulation than ever before. The most popular insulation material today is radiant barrier insulation. First, you must understand what the term radiant barrier means before you can make an educated decision on using radiant barrier as attic insulation. Radiant barriers normally consist of a thin sheet of highly reflective material, aluminum which is applied to plastic films, cardboard, kraft paper, and air infiltrations barrier material. The products are fiber reinforced to ensure durability along with being every easy to use. These materials significantly reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss, meaning that both heating and cooling costs will be significantly reduced. Radiant Barrier Attic Insulation can be installed in many different ways with the easiest being on top of the current attic insulation with the reflective side face up. In most cases, this is known as the attic floor application. Another popular installation technique is to attach it close to the roof. However, roof applications come in many variations such as attaching to the bottom of the rafters or arrange on the top of the rafters prior to installation of the roof deck. Alternately, the Radiant Barrier Attic Insulation can be installed to the underside of the roof deck during construction of the home. www.aerolaminsulations.com

  3. Radiant Barrier Attic Insulation Radiant Barrier Attic Insulation works by minimizing transfer across the empty space that is found between the attic floor and the roof deck. The empty space is the place is often filled with insulation. Every material on the earth gives off energy by a process known radiation, which is the result of their own temperature. Instead of explaining all the scientific reasons, lets look at it in layman's terms. heat conventional as thermal When the sun is shining brightly, solar energy is being absorbed by the roof of your house, heating up the roof and all below. Now, if you have this insulation in place, the heat will be reflected back toward the roof. This means that the heat will not come into the home on those searing summer days, which will cut down on your air conditioning bill. The benefits of radiant barrier during winter months are similar as it reduces the amount of heat that escapes the interior of the heated building thus saving on the heating bill, as well. All in all, consideration of the addition of radiant attic insulation when you live in climates with extreme temperatures is a wise choice in reducing your heating and cooling costs.
