Radiant Heating For Roof

Radiantguard radiant barrier foil insulation installed in an attics can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees when stapled with a staple gun to the underside of roof rafters by reflecting up to 97 of the radiant heat that strikes its surface thereby reducing heat.

Radiant heating for roof.

This roof deicing system is one of the most advanced and efficient roof heating systems on the market today. The heating element is only 3 64 inch thick and can even be safely installed to heat metal roofs. Instead of reflecting the radiant heat the barrier would simply transfer it to the roof decking in the attic space. Radiant heat sounded like the answer but heated water coils could potentially leak and that wasn t promising.

A radiant barrier reflects radiant heat that strikes its surface across an air space from a heat source and conversely it emits very little radiant heat from its surface across an air space opposite a heat source.
