To optimize energy efficiency, insulation is a perfect solution. One of the most powerful ways to better seal your attic is by insulating it with a radiant barrier. In terms of reflecting sunlight away from your house, radiant barrier insulation is very efficient.
Reflective barrier reflects the sun out and heat out. On the other hand it reduces heat loss in your home. All the hot air will rise and flow right out of your house, if it was not for the barrier.
Reduce attic temperatures during the summer and keep the warm inside during the winter. This results in savings on electricity that would be used for your heater or air conditioner.
Want to mount a Radiant Barrier? Not only is too much heat and vapor in the house unpleasant for the occupants, but if not managed in a timely way, it may harm the property. Any of the heat that ends up seeping through the roof into your house does so.
The installation of a radiant barrier reduces the amount of heat that seeps into the home. Like a radiant barrier, a vapor barrier can avoid overheating in the summer, caused by the moisture that filters into your home.
To decrease summer heat gain and minimize cooling costs by reflecting radiant heat rather than absorbing it, radiant barriers are built in homes. When it is perpendicular to the radiant energy striking it, a radiant barrier performs best. Also, the more significant the difference in temperature between the sides of the radiant barrier’s material, the greater the benefits a radiant barrier can give.
