Radiant Barriers are becoming more commonplace and people are
realizing just how much more effective radiant barrier is compared
to the traditional mass insulation.
Conventional mass fiberglass insulation, no matter how thick,
has almost no ability to block or shield radiant heat energy which can account
for as much as 93% of summer heat gain and up to 75% of winter
heat loss. These products are only designed to slow down conduction
heat energy.
If you are only relying on an R-valued material to insulate against
radiant heat gain / loss remember, these types of insulation are
not designed to stop the radiant energy like a high quality radiant
barrier like Energy "Q"™.
Energy "Q"™ Reflective Thermal Barrier, if properly
applied, will increase comfort levels and lower utility costs by
reducing heat loss or gain, as well as, increase the efficiency
and energy consumption of equipment.
