A radiant barrier is the most recent insulation type to come to the Dallas market, yet it has been around for several years. Installing a radiant barrier in your home, as mentioned, can drastically increase the energy efficiency of your home. Standard insulation is designed to protect your Dallas home from heat moving through the processes of conduction and convection.
A radiant barrier goes a step further by trapping the energy that normally passes through attics, walls, ceilings, windows and most other building materials. Efficient Home Solutions is proud to provide outstanding radiant insulation as the premier home insulation installer in Dallas.
During the hot summer days, you hate getting back into your car because it is so hot. The heat builds up from solar radiant energy at a tremendous rate. The same radiant energy from the summer sun can super heat the attic, just like the air in your car. As the temperature in your attic shoot up to 120, 130, 140 degrees or higher, your home heats up dramatically. This forces your cooling system to work extensively harder. Your electricity use spikes, and you spend a lot more money.
Radiant Barrier and reflective insulation products can earn the ENERGY STAR label (as insulation). Radiant Barrier is a metallic foil material (usually a sheet of foil alone or attached to something such as plywood or rigid foam) designed to block radiant heat transfer across open spaces. The material usually contains reflective aluminum. One side of the Radiant Barrier should be clean and dust free and must face an open-air space for the product to provide maximum benefit.
Radiant Barrier is most effective at reducing cooling bills in hot, sunny climates. However, in some special cases the product can help reduce heating bills as well. Special care should be taken when installing Radiant Barrier to ensure that at least one reflective side of the product is installed next to an air space that will not (over time) be covered with dust.
Radiant Barrier Lets Your Hvac Run More Efficiently
Radiant Barrier is a highly reflective material applied to the underside of your roof, designed to reduce the radiant heat that enters your attic through your roof, that is then transferred into your home. Radiant barrier helps keep ductwork cooler. When your ductwork becomes hot, your system works harder to deliver cool air.
- Radiant Barrier reflects 82% to 97% of the heat, so it never makes it into your attic.
- Radiant Barrier and attic ventilation reduces your attic temperatures by as much as 20º-30º
