Did you know that warm air moves toward cold air? Part of what makes our Efficient Attic Insulation System so effective is correctly-installed attic insulation. It keeps the air between your attic and your air-conditioned living spaces separate. By decreasing this heat transfer, attic insulation lowers your energy costs and puts less strain on your heating and cooling system.
And the benefits are year-round. In winter, the heated air in your house stays put, instead of rising into your attic. In summer, your hot attic air stays in the attic, instead of seeping into the cooler living areas. Our customers love to discover that the added insulation often makes their homes quieter, too!
When installing a foil-type barrier, it's important to allow the material to "droop" between the attachment points to make at least a 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) air space between it and the bottom of the roof. This air space has mainly two functions: it creates an air channel for the soffit and ridge ventilation system to work more effectively, and it acts as a second reflector since there are two shiny sides (one facing up/ one facing down.)

Radiant Barrier is a great addition to any home thats located in a very hot sunny area where there isn't much of a winter. The reason why is simple. Radiant Barrier is technically not an attic insulation, its a foil paper that lines the roof and even in some cases the floor of an attic. How can this foil paper be so important you ask?
