We are your online source to gain educational knowledge about and purchase radiant barrier reflective foil insulation. We bring you the popular RadiantGUARD® product line of reflective insulation - the radiant barrier reflective foil insulation system inspired by NASA research, development, and use that offers consumers today a permanent way to help reduce heating and cooling utility costs.

While radiant barriers have been in the marketplace for almost 30 years, they have recently gained popularity due to the ever increasing costs of energy.  Radiant barrier for attics work differently than traditional insulation products.  Start increasing your understanding of radiant barrier attic foils by first visiting our Top Radiant Barrier Facts.

Definition of a "True" Radiant Barrierr: Per the Department of Energy (DOE), a product classified as a "radiant barrier"  must have a low emittance of 10% or less and high reflectance of 90% or more. If it doesn't reflect 90% of the radiant heat at a minimum, it cannot be called a "radiant barrier."

Our RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier and reflective insulation products have an emittance of 3% and a reflectance of 97%;  considerably higher than the DOE's radiant barrier minimum classification requirements.

Electricity Costs Are Rising

Electricity prices across the country have gone up substantially since 2000.  Below are composite average kilowatt hour costs provided by the Energy Department.

RadiantGUARD® vs. Radiant Barrier Paints

Did you know that the typical "radiant barrier paint" used to combat radiant heat only blocks an average of 75% of the radiant heat?  Our radiant barrier products block 97% of the radiant heat; almost 30% more than the spray counterparts.  If your still undecided about using RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier products instead of a spray barrier, read more about spray radiant barrier paint.
 


Radiant Barriers Provide YEAR-ROUND Savings

Studies have shown that up to 93% of ceiling heat gain 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).

Radiant barrier and reflective insulation products BLOCK almost ALL of this radiant heat.

RadiantGUARD® 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 conditional loads and energy usage.  Attic foil insulation radiant barriers can also:

  • Reduce heat transfer from attic to living spaces by up to 50%,
  • Extend the life of air conditioning units, and
  • Increase the comfort level of a home.

The University of Nevada Las Vegas conducted independent research and discovered that radiant barrier insulation can reduce energy consumption by up to 35% during peak hours in the summer and by up to 29% over extended periods.

Our radiant barrier products are the leading products on the market used by home owners, new home builders, and agricultural and manufacturing enterprises.  Our radiant barrier foil insulation products are made from 99% pure aluminum making them the best at blocking 97% of the radiant heat that attempts to enter building structures.

Radiant Barrier Applications for COOLER Climates

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 summer months / warm climates.  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.

Most of the same applications applied to keep a house cooler in summer months / warmer climates are effective at keeping a house warmer in winter months / cooler climates.

RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier products are high quality, double-sided, tear and puncture resistant radiant barrier products of higher quality than many of the other radiant barrier products in the marketplace.   All RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier products meet the Standard Specifications for Sheet Radiant Barriers for Building Construction Applications ASTM C1313 and the State of California Title 24 Insulation Standards.

RadiantGUARD® reflective insulation bubble products consist of one or two layers of bubble material laminated between layers of aluminum foil to provide excellent thermal resistance in a home insulation radiant barrier reflective insulation product. The bubble contains an air retention layer designed to provide increased strength and puncture resistance.  The bubble layers provide a greater reduction of heat transfer. We offer various widths and versions with tabs for easier installation.

Most common applications for these radiant barrier bubble insulation products include pole barns, post and frame wall, metal building wall, post and frame attic, metal building roof, and agricultural buildings.

Radiant Barrier Foil Insulation cuts energy costs

At RadiantGUARD.com, you will find a selection of radiant barrier foil insulation products designed to help you save money on energy usage and more. In their most popular application, reflective insulation products work by reflecting 97% of the thermal radiation that would normally be transferred to the top surface of your standard attic insulation. Foil insulation has many other applications, as well. Reflective foil bubble insulation creates an enclosed air space that can effectively reduce conductive heat loss through the insulation and increase energy efficiency. Our double bubble insulation can also serve a crucial role in concrete floors and radiant heating systems as floor insulation by enhancing thermal efficiency, halting moisture transmission, resisting radon seepage into the home, and blocking termite infestation.

Radiant barriers from RadiantGUARD.com are the premier foil insulation products on the market helping consumer save energy costs year round.  Start saving today with RadiantGUARD® radiant barriers.
