Reflective Insulation

Reflective insulation stands out for its unique ability to block radiant heat transfer, making it a game-changer in how we insulate our homes. Unlike traditional forms of insulation that slow down the transfer of heat through conduction and convection, reflective insulation reflects heat back to its source thanks to its highly reflective surfaces, typically made from aluminum foils. This reflection reduces the radiant heat gain during summer and heat loss in winter, helping to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature.

Here's how it works: when heat radiates from a hot to a cooler surface, reflective insulation acts as a barrier, reflecting the heat away instead of absorbing it. It's particularly effective in hot climates where radiant heat from the sun significantly increases cooling demands. By installing it in our attics, walls, and floors, we're not just saving on energy costs; we're also enhancing our home's comfort.

We've seen firsthand how this technology doesn't merely add to the insulation layer but transforms it. It's light, easy to install, and works synergistically with other types of insulation, making it an ideal choice for both new construction and retrofit applications. As we continue to seek efficient ways to manage our home climates, reflective insulation stands as a robust, effective option.
