HOW RADIANT BARRIER WORKS

TRADITIONAL INSULATION VS. RADIANT BARRIER

Traditional insulations like blown-in cellulose or fiberglass batt insulations only absorb and slow down the movement of heat. RadiantGUARD Xtreme reflects 95% of the radiant heat away. Using two common properties of aluminum, HIGH reflectivity and LOW emmissivity, RadiantGUARD radiant barriers are much more effective at blocking radiant heat.

REFLECTIVITY & EMISSIVITY & AIR SPACES

When an air space exists between our Xtreme radiant barrier and a heat source, it will REFLECT 95% of the heat back towards the heat source. When an air space exists on the opposite side of the Xtreme from the heat source, it will EMIT (release) ONLY 5% of the heat from its surface. Therefore, as long as the Xtreme radiant barrier is installed with an air space on at least one side, it will BLOCK 95% of the radiant heat from passing through it making it FAR SUPERIOR than another other insulation product at managing radiant heat.
