Results for tag: "Radiant Barrier"

Radiant barriers are a type of insulation used to reduce the amount of heat transfer between a heated or cooled space and the outside environment. They are typically made of a reflective material, such as aluminum foil, which reflects radiant heat away from the living space. Radiant barriers are most commonly used in attics, but can also be used in walls, floors, and ceilings. They are often used in combination with other types of insulation, such as fiberglass or cellulose, to maximize energy efficiency. Radiant barriers are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to reduce energy costs and improve comfort. They are also relatively easy to install and require minimal maintenance. Additionally, radiant barriers are environmentally friendly, as they reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool a home. Some companies in the radiant barrier market include Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Johns Manville, and Knauf Insulation. Show Less Read more
