Raleigh N.C. Radiant Barrier Insulation Save up to 35% on Home Heating and Air Conditioning Bills
Most studies on radiant barrier reflective insulation products have been related to the amount of radiant heat from the sun that can be blocked from entering building structures in the south. However, radiant barrier reflective insulation can also provide benefits in the winter months / cooler climates by retaining heat generated within a building thereby, keeping a building warmer without the use of added heating costs.
Studies have shown that up to 93% of ceiling heat gained in summer months occurs from radiant heat transfers from attics heated by radiant energy from the sun.Roof shingles and decking absorb radiant heat generated by the sun and transfer this heat into attic spaces heating up existing insulation. Once this existing insulation meets its saturation point, it then radiates this heat to all surfaces within the interior of the home (ceilings and walls).
Diamond Barrier™ and reflective insulation products BLOCK almost ALL of this radiant heat.
Typical attics have insulation that can trap heat and add costs to your energy bills. Diamond Barrier™ reflects the heat making your home much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Diamond Barrier™ radiant barrier reflective insulation products can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees when installed to the underside of roof rafters. Lowering attic temperatures provides a significant benefit by reducing air conditioner loads and energy usage.
Diamond Barrier™ is a high quality, double-sided, tear- and puncture-resistant radiant barrier product. All Diamond Barrier™ products meet the Standard Specifications for Sheet Radiant Barriers for Building Construction Applications ASTM.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Diamond Barrier™ work?
Diamond Barrier™ is unlike mass insulation which only slows down or resists heat transfer. Diamond Barrier™ reflects heat. Heat naturally goes cool; the problem is how to keep the heat in the winter and how to keep the heat out of the attic and home in the summer. There are three ways in which heat goes from warm spaces to cold spaces: CONDUCTION is direct heat flow through a solid object such as a wall or a ceiling. CONVECTION is heat movement through air, occurring when air is warmed. The warm expands, becoming less dense and rising. RADIATION is the movement of heat rays across air spaces from one warm object to a cooler object. The heat we feel from a wood stove or a quartz space heater is radiant heat. ALL OBJECTS AND BODIES GIVE OFF RADIANT HEAT. Even the insulation in your attic gives off radiant heat to the cold attic space in the winter, and to the living space in the summer.
Regular insulation won’t stop radiant heat loss. Radiant heat must be REFLECTED with a radiant barrier.
I already have plenty of insulation in my attic. Do I really need Diamond Barrier™?
Regardless of how much insulation you have in your attic, adding Diamond Barrier™ will save on your heating and cooling expense, and keep you much more comfortable. Energy savings for heating and cooling can vary from 17% to 25% depending on a number of factors, including climate, building configuration, materials used, site, family size and lifestyle. Your Diamond Barrier™ Expert has been trained to evaluate your home or business and advise you of your savings potential.
Where do you install Diamond Barrier™?
Diamond Barrier™ can be laid over your present insulation like a blanket or stapled under your rafters or crawl space.
Will my roof get hotter when I have Diamond Barrier™ in my attic?
No. Diamond Barrier™ has been used extensively in the south, showing no difference in roof temperatures, as confirmed by field tests.
What is the R-Value of Radiant Barrier?
The R-value depends on the number and size of the airspaces surrounding the Diamond Barrier™ and on the direction of the heat flow. Since Diamond Barrier™ is usually installed on top of existing mass insulation, its R-value is not affected. It is Diamond Barrier™’s ability to reflect heat that makes it an excellent energy saver.
