A Radiant Heat Barrier will reflect heat AWAY from your attic and living space. Otherwise, the heat will simply penetrate into the living space. Some companies use spray on product which is not a True Radiant Barrier. According to the U.S. Dept of Energy a radiant barrier must have a minimum of 90% reflectivity or 10% emissivity (our product is 97 and 3) and have a dead air space above it. Sprays under the best possible application will have 75% reflectivity and 25% emissivity and in real life most are FAR less than that. So spray satisfies neither requirement of a true radiant barrier.
We are not like other companies. We don't do it the easy way, we do it the RIGHT way. If we were to put your foil radiant barrier on the bottom of the attic that would be doing it the easy way. You might ask if by doing it the hard way that makes us more expensive, the answer is no. Although we are uncompromising in the quality of the work we do, our pricing is competitive.
