Low-E
Radiant Barrier is a double sided aluminum barrier designed
for installation under rafters or in any application where an
airspace on both sides of the product is achieved. The product
is very easy to install and can dramatically reduce energy bills
in any climate.
In
warm climates it will stop radiant heat transfer from entering
your attic which will put less strain on your A/C system. In
cold climates it will work the same way by keeping valuable
heat within the home. It is a fact that heat rises, without
a reflective insulation or radiant barrier installed in your
roof or attic you will lose a considerable amount of heat through
your roof and/or ceiling. In areas where ice damming is a severe
problem intalling a radiant barrier will slow down the snow
melting on the roof, which causes ice damming. Ice and water
shields can be expensive and are only a patch or "Band-Aid"
for the problem, they do not contribute to fixing the problem,
Low-E does.
