The Energy Efficient Attic -- Radiant Barrier Spray

Radiant Barrier Spray

Developed by the U.S military to shield their vehicles from heat-seeking missiles, our radiant barrier spray is ideal for your home or business.

In the summer, radiant spray can block up to 80% of the sun’s heat with only a single coat on the underside of your roof deck. With the same application, the barrier reflects back up to 80% of the heat that tries to escape from your home in the winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are radiant barriers?
Radiant barriers reflect heat and can be used to save energy by being installed in the attics of homes and buildings.

What are the benefits of spray-on radiant barriers?
Spray-on radiant barriers reflect radiant heat while also offering better coverage and a longer lifespan. Our spray also fills in all nail punctures, holes and gaps without causing mold or blocking antenna and mobile phone reception.

How do spray-on radiant barriers work?
When the sun heats the exterior of your home, it eventually absorbs into the interior. With a spray-on radiant barrier, your home prevents heat build-up in your attic and stays cooler by reflecting back the suns radiant energy.

Does home insulation do the same thing?
Not necessarily. Radiant heat transfer cannot be stopped by insulation alone.

What tests have been done on spray-on radiant barriers?
Independent American and European research labs have tested the spray-on radiant barriers that we use. These labs concluded that spray-on radiant barriers lower the emission of radiant heat. Because of these studies, many utility companies offer customers that install radiant barriers significant rebates on their bills.

Is there any odor from using the spray?
Hours after the spray is applied, the odor dissipates and homeowners will likely never notice any odor.

What’s the lifespan of the spray?
A single spray-on radiant barrier application can last up to 25 years.

Does the spray continue to retain its energy-saving properties over time?
Even though dust and grime build-up can make your radiant barrier less effective, installing it on the underside of your roof deck makes this build-up less likely.

How many spray-on coats are needed?
Typically, one even coat is enough. Adding more coats does not increase savings.

Is insulation and ventilation needed if I have a coat of radiant barrier on the underside of my roof?
Absolutely. An energy-efficient home uses a combination of radiant barriers, insulation and attic ventilation.
