  3. What is a Radiant Barrier? Radiant Barriers are available in many different product forms for many different applications. Radiant Barriers or Reflective Foil usually consist of a thin sheet or coating of a highly reflective material, usually aluminum, that is applied to one or both sides of a number of substrate materials.

  4. First use of a Radiant Barrier The Radiant Barrier was first designed for NASA’s use in the space program as protection against extreme heat temperatures the shuttle and astronauts faced on their missions.

  5. How it works in your home Now it can be used to prevent heat from entering your home. This keeps the heat outside and helps keep your cooling costs down!

  6. Before a Radiant Barrieris Installed On a sunny day, solar energy is absorbed by the roof, heating the materials below and causing them to radiate heat down toward the attic floor. The heat re-radiated thru the ceiling is the greatest single source of heat gain in homes. The air in your attic can heat to over 135 degrees.

  7. After a Radiant Barrieris Installed When a Radiant Barrier is placed under the rafters or on the attic floor, much of the heat radiated from the roof is reflected back toward the roof. This makes the surface of the ceiling under the attic cooler than it would have been. 95 to 97% of all radiant heat is reflected back toward the roof.

  8. How is a Radiant Barrier Installedin an Existing Home? In an existing home, a Radiant Barrier is generally stapled across the underside of the rafters. The greatest benefit of installing a Radiant Barrier is the reduction of heat gain within your home and lower utility costs. In some homes, no air conditioning would be required after Radiant Barrier is installed.

  9. How is a Radiant Barrier Installed in a New Home or Addition? In a new home or addition the Radiant Barrier is installed on top of the rafters or on the bottom of the roof decking before it is installed. The exterior walls of many new homes are also wrapped with a Radiant Barrier providing a complete protective shield against heat.

  10. See the Difference…. SEE the difference in temperature: *with a Radiant Barrier * ** **without a Radiant Barrier! You don’t just see the difference, you FEEL the difference!

  11. Solar Fans Using a Solar Fan in areas of your home that have vaulted or open beam ceilings can lower your cooling costs significantly. Solar Fans can also be used to lower attic temperatures. The Solar Fan pulls the heated air out of the ceiling, replacing it with cooler air.

  12. How Solar Fans Work A Solar Fan uses a photo voltaic solar panel to convert sunlight to power a variable voltage DC motor that runs the fan. There is no electricity required, no fire hazard and the Solar Fan is super quiet! Designed as an all-in-one unit, the solar panels are encased in a housing that covers the fan and the opening through the roof. The solar fan can vent up to 1275 cfm of air depending on the model.

  13. Ridge & Gable Vents Ridge Vents allow rising heat to be pulled out of the attic by low pressure created as winds flow over the top of the ridge Gable Vents are effective if located at each end of the attic to create a cross ventilation air flow.

  14. Attic Ventilation Soffit or under eave ventilation is required by Building Code. In conjunction with Radiant Barriers and Solar Fans, adequate attic ventilation greatly helps to dissipate the heat within an attic. Gable vents for roofs with gable ends Good attic ventilation will increase the life of your roof and help to cool your home. Ridge or hip vents are a definite plus
