Radiant Barrier

Radiant Barrier Insulation: An Overview

Radiant barrier insulation is an important tool for controlling energy loss in homes and buildings. It is an innovative material that helps prevent heat transfer by reflecting it back to its source. This barrier works by blocking heat radiation, much like a mirror reflects light. The material is most commonly made of aluminum foil that has been perforated to allow air to flow freely. Radiant barrier insulation is a great way to maintain comfortable temperatures in buildings, as well as save on energy costs.

Radiant barriers are traditionally applied to the roof of a structure, typically in layers, to help reduce the amount of solar heat that enters the attic space. This helps keep the temperatures in the attic and the rest of the building more comfortable and at a more consistent level. In addition, radiant barriers help reduce heating and cooling costs by preventing heat exchange between the outside environment and the interior of the building.

Radiant Barrier Benefits

Improved Energy Efficiency

Better Indoor Air Quality

Greater Control Over Temperature

Radiant barriers are typically composed of aluminum foil that is stretched over and around a frame. The aluminum foil works by reflecting heat from the sun, while also allowing some air to pass through. This allows the heat inside to be trapped, resulting in improved energy efficiency. In addition, radiant barriers act as an insulation barrier which helps regulate temperatures and prevent condensation from forming in the attic space.

When properly installed, radiant barrier insulation can help lower your energy bills by preventing heat from entering your home or building. This helps save energy by reducing the amount of energy needed to cool the space. In addition, radiant barriers can also reduce the amount of time needed to heat or cool a space, making it more efficient and cost-effective.

What Our Clients Say

From start to finish, we ensure that we provide services up to your standards so that we can leave you with a satisfied smile.

We absolutely recommend using these guys. We called thermal shield and scheduled an energy audit with them. We found out that our attic floor had not been properly air sealed when the home was built. Thermal shields crew air sealed our attic and added cellulose insulation to fix the problem. The house feels great! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Daniela Villegas

Brian Gleason

Absolutely the best service that I’ve had in a long time. I had problems with my attic cellulose insulation and they were very responsive to my needs with my home in Gastonia. contacted several companies but none could compare with their service and pricing. I wish more companies were as professional and satisfying as this one. Don’t hesitate to call them.
