Attic and Decking Radiant Barrier
Performance Diagram
RadianceTM Low-E Attic and Decking Radiant Barrier will reduce the heat loss in a building by 8% to 24%. The reduction of heat loss will be less in a well insulated building. RadianceTM Low-E Attic and Decking Radiant Barrier will increase the operative temperature of the insulation, slowing the heat loss in the winter.

The reduction of heat gain will be less in buildings with a well insulated attic. RadianceTM Low-E Attic and Decking Radiant Barrier will lower the surface temperature of insulation, making it more efficient in controlling heat gain. To view a heat gain diagram click here.
In post frame buildings with no insulation, the operative temperature measures the amount of radiant heat transmitted or reflected to objects, animals and people under the area coated with RadianceTM Low-E Attic and Decking Radiant Barrier. In the cooler months, radiant energy that normally escapes is reflected back. In the warmer months, less radiant energy is allowed to emit into the structure.
