Are you hoping to make your home more energy efficient? Do you feel like your cooling costs in the summer are way out of proportion to your home?
A great way to increase the energy efficiency of your home is to install a radiant barrier. A radiant barrier is thin sheets of aluminum installed over your attic’s insulation. They are reflective and keep out the heat in the summer and maintain the warm air when it’s cold outside. Start reducing your energy bills today!
When the sun is pounding on your roof during the warmer months, it generates heat, making the roof very hot. This heat then travels through roofing materials and into the attic. When your attic is hot, it can then travel down into your home, making your cooling system work overtime.
By installing a radiant barrier in your attic, you can reduce radiant heat transfer from the roof to your attic by absorbing that heat. They lower heat transfer rates and keep the attic space cooler, lowering cooling costs by up to 17%.
The highly reflective material of a radiant barrier is usually made of aluminum foil, which can be applied to a number of different materials, including craft paper, plastic films, cardboard, strand board, and air infiltration barriers.
You may also want to combine your radiant barrier with other types of insulation materials to further increase your home’s energy efficiency.
There are two methods for installing radiant barriers – on top of the attic floor and on the underside of the roof.
When you install a radiant barrier to the underside of the roof, you are allowing for proper ventilation, ensuring heat is reflected back up before reaching the floor of the attic. You should contact a professional to install a radiant barrier to the underside of the roof. This type of installation is more complicated.
