Radiant Barrier

In summer, your attic is a natural solar heat trap. Everything in it, including your insulation, absorbs and stores heat. Long after sunset, your attic units are working to dissipate the stored heat that is radiating into the living area. In central Texas, studies show that the installation of a radiant barrier can be beneficial in effectively managing utility costs. ABC uses LO/MIT Radiant Barrier Spray, a proven low emissivity coating applied to the underside of your roof decking that helps control heat build-up in your attic by reflecting the solar radiation trying to penetrate. Once you have the right insulation level (R-value) in your attic, an ABC professional can also help you determine if a radiant barrier makes good economic sense!
