Radiant Barriers
Radiant barriers are installed in homes—usually in attics—primarily to reduce summer heat gain, which helps lower cooling costs.Heat travels from a warm area to a cool area by a combination of conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat flows by conduction from a hotter location within a material or assembly to a colder location. Call us (1-888-900-4822) now for more information visit our website: http://www.indoorairqualityca.com/radiant-barriers/.
Installation
Radiant barriers can be installed between the roof sheathing and attic floor insulation, in cavity walls, and around door openings, water heaters, and pipes. It’s easier to incorporate radiant barriers into a new home, but you can install them in an existing home too.
An installer typically drapes a rolled-foil radiant barrier foil-face down between the roof rafters to minimize dust accumulation on the reflective faces (double-faced radiant barriers are available).
