Attic with insulation pulled back from a brick chimney chase

Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing

Radiant Barrier

A radiant barrier is a reflective layer installed where it can face an air space, usually on the underside of the roof deck. It addresses radiant heat. It is not the same thing as a thick layer of insulation on the attic floor, and it does not replace that layer.

The work

What is a radiant barrier?

The foil has to face an air space to do what it is built to do. Laid flat under a pile of insulation, or buried against the deck with no gap, it is just a sheet. The attic is looked at before anyone staples foil to the rafters. Existing floor insulation, ventilation, and roof type all change whether a barrier belongs there.

The floor layer people usually mean by insulation is blown-in insulation or fiberglass.

Why it matters

Why this work matters

A radiant barrier is a specific tool for radiant heat in a vented attic. It is not a coating that cuts a percentage off a bill, and no percentage is promised. If the attic floor is bare, the floor insulation comes first.

The visit says whether this attic is a candidate, including when it is not.

What to expect
