Insulation ability of radiant barrier

May 27, 2010 - PRLog -- A radiant barrier is a device which is designed to reduce or stop the flow of radiant energy. A radiant barrier works by reducing heat transfer through thermal radiation. Radiant barriers are used in buildings to either reduce summer heat gain or winter heat loss thus reducing the building heating and cooling energy usage.

Buy Reflective Insulation radiant barrier materials ensure that the solar energy absorbed by the roofing material on a sunny summer day is reflected back thus keeping your house cool. Normally, the solar energy absorbed by the roof heats the roof sheathing and causes the underside of the sheath and the roof frame to radiate heat downwards towards the floor. The radiant barrier on the floor helps in reflecting back much of this heat towards the roof. This makes the top surface of the house to be much cooler than it would be without the use of a radiant barrier material hence reducing the amount of heat that moves through the insulation into the rooms below.

The potential benefit of a radiant barrier lies in its ability to reduce air-conditioning and cooling loads in warm and hot climates.

The radiant barrier materials commonly used consist of a thin sheet or coating of highly reflective material, mostly aluminum, applied to one side or on both sides of a number of substrate materials. Most radiant barrier materials are also fiber-reinforced to increase the durability and the ease of handling the insulation material.

Buy Reflective Insulation offers the best radiant barrier materials. These materials have a reflective surface of low emissivity while most other radiant barrier materials have high reflectivity. Depending on your need Buy Reflective Insulation offers radiant barrier materials with either one reflective surface or those that have a reflective surface on both sides. Whether you are looking for house wraps, floor insulation or interior moisture barriers, Buy Reflective Insulation offers the right insulation solution.
