What are sprayed on radiant barriers?

Radiant barriers are created by applying a special coating of reflective material, much like paint, to your attic ceiling. This keeps out the sun’s heat and energy in the summer by reflecting it back through your roof and away from your attic. By cutting down on the amount of warm air coming out of your attic, your air conditioner won’t have to work as hard to cool your house. It also makes your home more comfortable, especially on hot summer days. In the winter, warm air is prevented from leaving through the roof by reflecting it back into the house.

Although there are several different types of treatments available, Affordable Attic Insulation uses Heatbloc 75. This reflective material is sprayed in your attic on the ceiling’s surface. It breathes, allowing water vapor through so it won’t get trapped and cause moisture problems.  For more on our sprayed on radiant barrier, pleas visit  www.heatbloc.net

Solar energy contains radiant heat. NASA first developed the technology to reflect it several years ago. The military followed suit, adapting it for their needs. The technology was recently made available to the public, so now it’s time for use of the radiant barrier in Houston.

This new product reflects 75% of the sun’s radiant heat as it comes down through the roof, reducing the amount of radiant energy heating up the house. Affordable Attic Insulation has mastered the installation of spray insulation. Houston residents can take advantage of the savings and technology by having the special reflective coating applied to their attics, where more than 80 % of heating and cooling energy is lost.
