Stop Radiant Heat Gain and Loss With Radiant Barrier Installation
Rather than slow the transfer of heat like other types of insulation, radiant barrier insulation reflects it instead. This barrier is double layered, consisting of two layers of conductive insulation. Thanks to the unique sandwich design, this radiant barrier has a 97% heat reflection AND an R-13 conductive rating.
When you have this type of insulation installed in your attic, heat gets reflected off the roof and walls, encasing the attic in a reflective barrier. In fact, radiant barrier insulation is 97% effective at reflecting heat. The end result? An attic that is 40-50 degrees cooler on average. In turn, this will:
- Allow your HVAC system to de-stress and blow colder air
- Increase your comfort within your home
- Result in an average decrease in energy costs of 25-35%
Thanks to the impressive energy savings that our radiant barrier can provide your home, this type of insulation essentially pays for itself. You’ll also probably notice that the one problematic room that always seems to be hotter or colder than the rest of your house will become more comfortable.
Get StartedAbout Reflective Radiant Barrier Insulation
When most homeowners in San Antonio, Texas, think about adding insulation to their attics, they assume that the best—and only—option available to them is blown-in fiberglass insulation. What many don’t realize, however, is that another critical component of an effective attic insulation system is a reflective radiant barrier.
Let’s start by understanding the conditions that make your home energy inefficient. When you have an extremely hot attic, it raises the temperature throughout your home, causing stress on the HVAC system. It’s as if the cold air coming from your air conditioner has run through an oven by the time it reaches the interior. Unfortunately, blowing insulation on the floor of your attic doesn’t solve this issue, as it doesn’t change the ambient temperature of the attic. So, what can you do?
The solution is reflective radiant barrier insulation, the most advanced form of NASA inspired radiant barrier. A radiant barrier addresses the true culprit behind your home’s energy loss, which is an attic that stays at an extremely hot temperature year-round.
