Radiant Barrier Insulation

Saving Energy in your home with Radiant Barrier in your attic.Radiant Barrier Spray is similar in application and appearance to ordinary house paint. Radiant barrier spray is actually a high-tech coating that was originally developed to make military vehicles invisible to heat-seeking missiles. Its remarkable heat-shielding properties, combined with its ease of application, make it the ideal radiant barrier for your home.

A single, thin coat of radiant barrier insulation spray applied to the underside of your roof will block 75% of the sun’s radiant heat from entering your home. And in the winter, that same barrier will reflect back 75% of the heat that tries to escape from your house. You can expect a 10% reduction of your electric bill in the summer.

Unlike foil-covered substrates, radiant barrier spray can be applied in a matter of hours. It goes on evenly, with no gaps or holes. And because it is simply sprayed on, like ordinary house paint, it can easily be applied to existing roofs. Installation of this product cost around $1.00 sf of roof.

 

We also install foil sheets. These block out around 93% of the radiant heat in the attic and cost $1.50 square to install. With the sheet you can expect your electric bill to drop around 15%- 20% in the Summer.

A third option is Radiant Barrier Bubble Insulation

This product comes in 2 flavors. Single walled and double walled. It basically adds an R value to the radiant barrier of 9. Installing this product cost around $2.00 sf.
