Fire Protection Benefits


Energy “Q”™ radiant foil barriers don't only reflect radiant heat it also has an added benefit, of reflecting heat from a burning home as seen here.

The following pictures are from a home that burned for 1 hour and 35 minutes before the fire department arrived to the scene.  The homeowners were on vacation. 

As you can see, the heat was so intense in the attic that the Energy “Q”™ melted, but the material did not allow the fire to re-enter into the home.  There was no structural damage.

The Energy “Q”™ material maintained the fire about 5 feet above the ceiling to the peak of the roof.  From the outside picture, you can see you can not even tell there was a fire in the home.

 Energy “Q”™ products are classified Class A / Class 1 Fire Rating

Energy “Q”™ radiant foil barriers provide the ultimate protection for your family.
