Radiant Barrier Insulation is a thin foil product that brings proven results.
Bexar Insulation often utilizes radiant barrier insulation effectively in the San Antonio area.
Radiant Barrier Insulation is commonly referred to as a reflective insulation product. The aluminum foil membrane is a barrier that reflects radiant heat to scientifically reduce the heat transfer that happens naturally without a radiant barrier product.
There are many valued benefits to installing a reflective radiant barrier at time of new construction. As with all types of insulation it must be installed properly to appreciate the true cost savings advantages.
How does a radiant barrier insulation product work for buildings in our San Antonio, Texas climate?
Radiant Barrier Insulation is already widely used across The Hill Country and all of our great state of Texas. The reflective properties work well in hot regions, which we are. This type of insulation product is usually installed in attics and other exterior surfaces that are baking in the sun. We need to stop that heat from transferring to the underside of your roof sheathing to keep your inside spaces cool in the summer. Please give us a call today for more information.
Does the reflective material used in a radiant barrier system provide any measured R-Value?
Radiant Barrier Insulation generally is not referred to with an R-Value. This product works best when used in combination with blanket insulation in walls or loose-fill insulation in attics. The Reflective material is aluminum foil and it blocks up to 95% of the radiant heat transfer, which is the difference of night and day during a hot July. With the proper use of insulation your indoor spaces will be healthier and more comfortable, all while saving energy & money while preserving your assets. It all has to work together as a complete system to maximize your benefits. We would be happy to visit your location and discuss this in more detail.
