Radiant Barrier

Radiant Barriers in Sarasota, FL

While air conditioning helps keep your home's interior cool, it has to work overtime during the sweltering summer months, leading to high electricity bills. Radiant barriers reflect heat away from your living spaces. This is particularly essential in the hot and humid Florida climate or in buildings where the intensity of radiant heat transfer can significantly increase indoor temperatures. 

At Insulate My Attic, we specialize in premium radiant barrier products and precise installation to transform attics into thermal barriers. Our experienced team thoroughly evaluates your home to recommend ideal solutions for maximum heat reflection and energy savings. We can help maintain a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature, which can be more challenging to achieve with traditional insulation alone.

How Do Radiant Barriers Work?

A radiant barrier consists of a highly reflective surface, such as aluminum foil, which can reflect up to 97% of the radiant energy striking it. Unlike traditional insulation, which slows down the transfer of heat through conduction and convection, radiant barriers reflect the heat.

When sunlight hits the roof, a radiant barrier sends this heat back up, reducing the amount that seeps into your home. Your attic won't absorb as much heat even on the hottest days, leading to a naturally cooler home and less strain on your air conditioning system.

Choosing the Right Product

When selecting a radiant barrier, keep in mind several factors, including the material's reflectivity and the installation method. At Insulate My Attic, we exclusively install HeatBloc Ultra Radiant Barrier. This innovative barrier is a spray-applied coating that reduces the heat that enters a building through the roof. It is an aluminum-colored, water-based, low emissivity (low-e) paint applied to the underside of the roof or attic space. 

Some benefits of HeatBloc Ultra include:

  • Reflects up to 82% of the radiant heat, helping to maintain a cooler interior without over-reliance on your AC
  • Reduces the burden on HVAC systems, leading to energy savings and potentially lower utility bills.
  • Maintains a more consistent indoor temperature, enhancing the comfort of occupants
  • Easy application that does not require the labor-intensive installation of traditional radiant barriers like foil
  • Low VOC (volatile organic compound) product, which makes it a safer option for installers and occupants 
  • Mildew-resistant, which is beneficial for maintaining air quality and structural integrity
  • Durable coating that can last for many years, providing long-term benefits without the need for frequent reapplication
  • Lightweight solution that does not add weight stress to the building
  • Contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity production
