Radiant Barrier Insulation
If you're a homeowner looking for information on radiant barrier insulation then pull up a chair and have a seat because you've found the information you've been looking for.
On this page you'll discover what radiant barrier insulation is, why our company is the 'go to' radiant barrier insulation company in the Charlotte area and how installing radiant barrier insulation in your home will benefit you.
What is Radiant Barrier Insulation?
Heat transfer can occur in several ways:
- Conduction: The transfer of energy between objects in physical contact.
- Convection: The transfer of energy between an object and its environment, due to fluid motion.
- Thermal Radiation: The transfer of energy from or to a body by the emission or absorption of electromagnetic radiation.
While standard fiberglass, cellulose or foam insulations inhibit conduction and convection transfer, only radiant barrier insulations or reflective barrier insulations inhibit heat transfer by thermal radiation.
Any device that is designed to reduce or stop the flow of radiant energy is a radiant barrier insulator.
One example of radiant barrier insulation is the space blanket. In 1954, NASA invented a lightweight, reflective material composed of a plastic substrate with a vapor-deposited coating of aluminum. The material, now commonly known as a "space blanket", is used to protect spacecraft, equipment, and astronauts from thermal radiation or to retain heat in the extreme temperature fluctuations of space.
Another common example found in most kitchens is aluminum foil. When used to wrap a baked potato, aluminum foil will allow the transfer of heat conduction and convection heat while acting as a radiant barrier to inhibit radiant heat transfer. This causes the potato cook to perfection on the inside while protecting the potatoes skin from being burnt on the outside.
Sophisticated radiant barrier applications such as those used on NASA Space Shuttles or simple radiant barrier solutions such as the aluminum foil used to wrap a baked potato all accomplish the same thing; they reduce thermal radiant heat transfer.
Radiant Barrier Insulation for Your Home
When it's hot outside, the Sun's radiant heat transfers to the cool air inside and when it's cold your home's radiant heat transfers to the cold air outside. Although most homes are built with standard fiberglass, cellulose or foam insulations they still lose their heating or cooling efficiency due to radiant heat transfer. This means the homeowners lose money on their heating and cooling bills by using unnecessary amount of energy to keep their home comfortable year round.
