Energy Efficient Radiant Barriers

Shield Your Home From Excess Heat

When people think about their roof, they usually think of it as structure designed to quickly move rain away from the house. While this is true 1% of the time, the other 99% of the time your roof is providing solar shading.

On a 90 degree Kansas day, your roof shingles will reach 160 degrees, your attic will reach 130-140 degrees (heat that will eventually sink into your house), while the living envelope of the house is set at 72 degrees.

That’s a tall task for the air conditioner.

By installing a radiant barrier, 97% of the sun’s radiant heat never makes it into the house at all. This upgrade pays for itself in 3-4 years. We, at Bob Cook Homes think it makes a lot of sense.

LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Sheathing is designed to lower a home’s attic temperature. These panels have been installed in more than 1.5 million homes in the United States.
