Properly insulating your attic is the most cost-effective and efficient way to conserve energy and save money. In fact, with proper insulation, home owners can save up to 30% on their heating and cooling costs. Radiant Barrier Insulation from Aspenmark offers significant insulation improvement.
Radiant barriers are materials that are installed in buildings to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss, and hence to reduce building heating and cooling energy usage. The potential benefit of attic radiant barriers is primarily in reducing air-conditioning cooling loads in warm or hot climates. Radiant barriers usually consist of a thin sheet or coating of a highly reflective material, usually aluminum, applied to one or both sides of a number of substrate materials. These substrates include kraft paper, plastic films, cardboard, plywood sheathing, and air infiltration barrier material. Some products are fiber reinforced to increase the durability and ease of handling.Radiant barriers can be used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
