Radiant Barrier
Much of the heat entering your home comes through the roof. We now offer an amazing new product called "Polaralum". This product installs under new shingles, making the roof replacement process an ideal time to make your home more energy efficient. During the summer months, Polarium acts as a radiant barrier on walls and a thermal barrier on roofing areas. During the winter months Polarium assists in deflecting cold temperatures, which ultimately assists in reducing the escape of heat through walls or ceilings.
Adding Super R™ or TempShield™ in your attic helps to keep your house cooler in the summer. Super R™ or TempShield™ are ideal radiant barriers to supplement the insulation already in your attic. Consider our 16" or 24" on-center rolls of TempShield™ when insulating a truss style attic. The following applications are Energy Star approved to reflect 97% of the radiant heat.
How is Heat Transferred?
Super R™ or TempShield™ attic application with a soffit and ridge vent system. Install Super R™ or TempShield™ clear to the ridge pole
Super R™ or TempShield™ attic application with a turbine or gable vent. A 3" gap along the ridge pole and at the base of the rafters (soffit) ensures enough air flow between Super R™ or TempShield™ and the roof deck. This applies to all vent systems other than soffit and ridge.
