Florida’s year-round summer heat can turn your attic or garage into an oven, often reaching temperatures over 140°. This damaging heat radiates through your roof shingles, insulation, and walls into your living space, forcing your AC to run harder. Our Radiant Barrier insulation creates a protective shield around your home that blocks radiant heat and keeps your living and storage spaces cooler.
Does Radiant Barrier Insulation Actually Work?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “When the sun heats a roof, it’s primarily the sun’s radiant energy that makes the roof hot. Much of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces, including the air ducts and the attic floor. A radiant barrier reduces the radiant heat transfer from the underside of the roof to the other surfaces in the attic.”
Florida’s year-round summer heat can turn your attic into an oven, often reaching temperatures over 150°. This damaging heat radiates through your insulation and into your living space, making your AC run harder, longer, and creating temperature imbalances throughout your living quarters. Our Super R Plus Heavy Duty® insulation blocks 95% of radiant heat transference, which prevents the heat entering the attic and creates a protective shield around your home.
Your aluminum garage door is one of the least efficient parts of your home. With the Florida sun continuously beating down, it can turn your garage into what feels like an oven. By insulating your garage door with our Double Bubble Radiant Barrier system, you can expect to receive the following benefits:
