In Florida, the heat doesn’t take a break. Attic temperatures often reach over 150 degrees during the summer months. This heat can transfer into your living space, making your home feel warmer and causing your air conditioner to work harder than necessary.
Radiant barrier insulation is installed along the underside of your roof and reflects a large portion of the sun’s radiant energy before it enters your home to reduce heat gain.
How It Works
When the sun heats your roof, most of that energy is radiant heat. That heat travels through your roofing materials into your attic and warms up everything inside, including air ducts and insulation. A radiant barrier helps reduce this effect by reflecting up to 95 percent of the radiant heat away from your attic surfaces.
While this won’t eliminate all attic heat, it helps support your air conditioning system by reducing how much heat builds up above your ceiling.
Key Benefits:
Radiant barrier insulation is especially helpful for homeowners who spend time away from their Florida property or want more consistent comfort without high energy use. It is a simple improvement that can make a noticeable difference.
