Radiant Barrier: Aluma-Foil

Radiant Barriers can be as simple as one or two sheets of aluminum laminated to a fire retardant draft paper or a bubble packaging type material. Regardless of the core material, the aluminum foil sheeting, or radiant barrier, when facing an airspace, will help in drastically reducing your attic heat gain or loss.

A radiant barrier installation is a very cost effective alternative towards lowering your high summer and winter cooling and heating costs.

Whether you use reflective foil insulation or a reflective insulation facing, attached beneath a fiberglass batting, in commercial/industrial applications, you will feel and see the results immediately. Radiant heat is the single largest source of heat gain or loss, in residential and commercial/industrial construction.

If you are building a new home, remodeling an existing one or just upgrading the energy efficiency in your attic, the use of an attic radiant barrier will immediately reduce your energy costs and pay for itself much faster than most other energy upgrades.

The radiant barrier information and installation instructions, on the AFS website (www.afs-foil.com) will greatly assist you in choosing what method is right for you.

Other advantages of using a radiant barrier, in reducing your energy costs are: it can be installed by the homeowners themselves and is easy to purchase online. Just go to the AFS website (www.afs-foil.com) and click on the Shopping Cart page.
