Increase the Value of Your Home
With today’s demand for eco-friendly homes, you can add value to your home by having quality installation products installed. Radiant barriers are a simple upgrade that can make a big difference for many homebuyers who are looking for a home that uses energy wisely and you get the peace of mind that comes from going green.
Radiant Barrier Installation Process
A radiant barrier installed in the attic of your home was designed specifically to block radiant heat from hitting your ductwork or air systems within the cool space of the attic. Attic air can often leak into the return portion of the home’s ductwork, which tends to be at a lower temperature overall. This decreases stress on the entire cooling system, effectively increasing the efficiency of your cooling system.
In an open framed attic, it is quite easy to install radiant barriers in strips of the material. Each strip will be overlapped about two inches after having been unrolled by a trained professional. Staples are then placed around 14 to 18 inches apart, ensuring the entire installation remains in place. The foil material is not affected by dust within the attic, allowing it to remain efficient and capable. Overall, radiant barriers are an effective method to retain the cool air within your home and prevent excessive heat from entering.
