The reflectix heavy duty radiant barrier is designed for installation predominantly in open attics radiant barrier is thin 0 006 in and a very strong polyethylene woven fabric the radiant barrier dramatically reduces heat gain into the attic resulting in lower surface temperatures and reduced air conditioning usage. Staple it up or lay it over the.

28 6 lbs per sq. Unlike traditional thick layers of insulation radiant barrier is a thin reflective material. Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper. 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.

A radiant barrier reduces the radiant heat transfer from the underside of the roof to the other surfaces in the attic. Specify decking with a radiant barrier laminated to one surface install foil product to underside of decking prior to decking installation install foil product to underside of roof trusses after decking is installed prior to ceiling drywall installation. This thin reflective material is designed to bounce the sun s heat away from your home instead of allowing your attic to absorb the heat and pass it into your home.
