Let’s start with defining the two. Fiberglass insulation is used to slow down the loss or gain of heat within a home. It provides a barrier between the inside of the home and the significantly different temperatures outside of the home. Radiant barrier, or foil insulation, differs from fiberglass insulation in that, instead of slowing […]

If you live in an area that experiences different temperature extremes, especially during the summer, you may have received suggestions for different types of insulation. Spray foam insulation and radiant barrier insulation are two materials that are frequently used in warmer climates. While both materials provide effectiveness in controlling indoor temperatures, here are some important

Over the past year, there have been many changes to the ways we live, work and travel. The COVID-19 pandemic and growing international commitments to reducing carbon emissions has changed the game in how work and living spaces are constructed, particularly when it comes to energy efficiency. Here are a few of the benefits of

If you are doing research on different insulation options for your project, you have probably come across the term “R-Value” and learned that higher R-Values indicate greater effectiveness in slowing heat transfer and controlling indoor temperatures. Therefore, it might be surprising to learn that radiant barrier insulation does not have a measured R-Value. Does this

News on climate change and its effects on the environment can be found everywhere you look. There are countless scientific opinions and proposed solutions to preventing global temperatures from rising, but, as a consumer, it is often difficult to know where to begin – should you reduce consumption, buy more energy efficient products, or continue

During the summer, farmers often struggle to control the temperatures in their pole barns and metal buildings. The difficulty of controlling indoor temperatures not only impacts energy bills – it can have a negative effect on the health and weight gain of animals, as well. In the summer, excessive heat in livestock barns can result

Different types of insulation use different methods by which they cool your building or space.

So, how does installing reflective radiant barrier insulation protect your home and reduce energy expenses as the seasons change? Read on to find out.

In residential homes, there are well-documented benefits to applying Radiant Barrier insulation into the attic envelope. These benefits are backed up by quite a bit of research by independent government funded labs including the prestigious Oak Ridge National Laboratory and The Florida Solar Energy Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Traditional insulations like fiberglass and foam
