Radiation, Meet Radiant Barrier
The sun heat the Earth through radiation, or the transfer of heat without direct contact. Radiation is part of the invisible light spectrum, meaning that we can feel radiation, but we can’t see it.
The roof constantly reflects and absorbs radiation from the sun. About half of the radiation reaching the roof is reflected back into space, but the other half is absorbed by the roof, consequently heating up the attic.
The shiny surface of radiant barrier works to prevent the radiant heat from being absorbed into the attic space. It reflects up to 97% of radiant heat energy!
Less heat entering your home = a cooler attic = money saved on your energy bill = a happy homeowner!
