RADIANT BARRIER SHEATHING
What you need to know about Radiant Barrier Sheathing for your home's energy efficiency:
-
Reduces energy usage required to cool home
-
Patented, post-lamination incising process allows the substrate to release moisture
-
TechShield radiant barrier sheathing installs just like regular roof sheathing, with the foil side facing the attic
-
Prevents up to 97% of the sun's heat from entering the attic, dramatically reducing the attic temperature
-
Allows air conditioners and ductwork to operate more efficiently. Less heat is transferred from the attic to the living space, keeping the home cooler
WITHOUT TECHSHIELD:
- Heat and radiant energy are absorbed into roof deck
- Heat builds up in attic
- Heat transfers to living area
- Lower settings required to achieve comfort level
- Energy usage climbs
|
WITH TECHSHIELD:
- TechShield sheathing, with its thin laminated aluminum layer, prevents up to 97% of the radiant heat in the panel from radiating into the attic
- Attic temperatures are reduced by as much as 30%
- Less heat transfers into living space
- Energy cost is less
