Attic Insulation Start Here!! Our Radiant Foil Insulation LOOKS GREAT and works year round!

Reflective Insulation has recently become a standard component of a total insulation system. It is designed for both new construction and retrofits. Using reflective insulation for either your home or metal building will increase the comfort level inside, protect against condensation and save on energy.

During the winter, 50-75% of heat loss through the ceiling and 65-80% of heat loss through walls is radiant. In the summer, up to 93% of heat gain is radiant. If you are depending on R-value (resistance) alone to insulate against heat gain and loss, you are losing half the battle.
 
 While other types of insulation are made to resist or impede the flow of warm air, reflective insulation reflects back radiant (infra-red) energy from the sun so it does not penetrate the building. It can also reflect back radiant heat inside the house so it does not escape. The concept is simple: each unit of radiant heat energy that is reflected away from your home in summer and each unit reflected back inside during winter means less operation of your air conditioning and heating systems, less wear and tear on your equipment, and less money you pay in utility costs. Compare reflective insulation to other insulation types.

INSULATION TYPE SUMMER WINTER
Regular
(Fiberglass Insulation) 93 % Heat Gain in summer/20 - 50% reflected
Loss of  50 - 80 % Home's Heat  in winter

Reflective Insulation 3 % Heat Gain in summer)97% reflected outward)/

3% heat loss in winter -WORKS BOTH DIRECTIONS ALL SEASONS!
97 %  heated space reflected (kept in home) 3 % Heat Loss
Each unit of radiant heat energy REFLECTED AWAY from your home in SUMMER & BACK inside during WINTER equals EQUALS less operation of your AC & HEAT, and LOWER utility costs year-round!

What is Radiant Barrier?
Radiant Barrier is a space-aged product that is based on the principle of the Dewar Vessel, often referred to as the Dewar Flask. It was invented by Scottish chemist and physicist, James Dewar (thus its name) around the turn of this century. It was developed to contain heat generated in chemical laboratory experiments and re-direct that heat back into the flask.

The Physics of Foil
There are three modes of heat transfer: CONDUCTION, CONVECTION, and RADIATION (INFRA-RED). Of the three, radiation is the primary mode; conduction and convection are secondary and come into play only as matter interrupts or interferes with radiant heat transfer. As matter absorbs radiant energy, it is heated, develops a difference in temperature, and results in molecular motion (conduction in solids) or mass motion (convection in liquids and gas).

Regular Insulation vs. Radiant Insulation
Warnings on insulation rolls advise you to completely protect your self from coming into any kind of contact with the fiberglass - wear safety glasses with side shields, face mask or respirator, gloves, long tight sleeves, long pants and a hat. And still, the itchy fibers manage to get in. Batts are particularly unpleasant to hang overhead in ceilings and under floors and they require straps or wire mesh across the joists to hold them up.

Garage Insulation Solutions
Adding garage insulation is an easy and low cost way of making your entire home more comfortable and saving on heating and cooling energy costs. The garage can be easily insulated either during new construction or as a retrofit. Garage insulation (injection foam or spray foam insulation (in) the wall that separates the house from the garage will help keep heat and air conditioning inside the main house. Your home will gain in both comfort and energy efficiency.

Steel Building Insulation Basics
The optimum quantity and type of insulation for your steel building is determined by the planned use of the building in conjunction with local climate conditions. Adding insulation will make the building more comfortable, particularly if people will be inside the building. Building insulation acts as a barrier to slow down the movement of heat, keeping it inside the building in winter and outside the building in summer. By controlling the rate of heat transfer through the building, insulation reduces energy consumption, resulting in lower fuel bills and a cleaner environment.

House Insulation Overview
As a house will stand for 100 years or more, heavily insulating is a worthwhile investment of both time and money. The US DOE asserts that inadequate insulation and air infiltration are the primary causes of energy waste in most houses. The DOE Insulation Fact Sheet lists adequate attic insulation as the top insulation priority. "It is most important not let the sun's heat to be absorbed into the home during the summer.

Insulation for Basements and Crawl Spaces
Due to their underground environment, basements and crawl spaces have different insulation requirements than the house above. Moisture is the primary consideration in developing either a basement or crawl space insulation strategy. Excess moisture can cause mold, mildew, odors, decay, fungus growth and wood rot.

Attic Insulation Essentials
Using radiant barrier insulation in your attic is paramount to creating a more comfortable and energy efficient home, keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. By properly hiring a pro and  installing a radiant barrier in your attic, you can lower your air conditioning and heating bills and can potentially extend the life of your equipment.

Agricultural Uses
Keeping farm animals and livestock warm in the winter and cool in the summer is of vital importance. Insulation4Less offers reflective insulation products that protect poultry houses from black-globe effect.

One concern frequently voiced with "over the attic floor" installations is dust accumulating on the surface of the barrier and degrading its effectiveness over time. But opinions vary depending on the source. Here are two conflicting opinions from separate U.S. government agencies.

According to the National Bureau of Standards, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, "Thin layers of dust readily visible to the eye do not cause very serious lowering in the reflecting power. The appearance of the surface is not a reliable guide as to its reflectivity for radiant heat. Foil which appears dark or discolored may have lost little in insulating value if the surface film is thin."

If your attic is uncluttered and you decide to proceed with the over the floor installation, purchase a perforated barrier especially designed to allow moisture to pass through, and take care not to cover kitchen and bathroom vents or recessed lights.
