During cold winter months, up to 90% of your home or building's heat can be lost through your attic area. You may already have fiberglass or cellulose insulation in your attic but these types of insulation only RESIST heat transfer. Once fiberglass or cellulose absorbs the maximum amount of heat that it physically can absorb, it must release some of that heat energy. That means it just slows down heat loss it does not prevent it! AtlasFoil REFLECTS up to 97% of radiant heat back toward the living space, keeping your home warmer and saving you on energy costs.
In warm climates or during summer months, attic temperatures can reach as high as 140° farenheit! The heat in your attic tries to invade your living space making your air conditioner work harder to keep your house cool. Radiant barrier installed under the roof rafters in your attic can reflect up to 97% of the sun's radiant heat waves away from your attic. This method will keep your attic cooler, in turn requiring less energy from your air conditioning unit. Installing radiant barrier insulation in your attic is a snap...just roll our lightweight radiant barrier over the face of your roof rafters and staple it thoroughly. |
