Adding Insulation to Your Home Helps the Environment and Your Wallet

Adding insulation helps lock in temperatures for a more constant and controllable environment. A home with no insulation is like hot coffee in a paper cup. Try to pick it up immediately and the heat travels right through the paper to burn your hand. Set it down for a few minutes and it grows too cold to drink. When it comes to insulating your home to help seal in temperatures, you must consider all three types of heat transfer that allow heat to move between your walls and attic. Those types are convection, conduction, and radiation or emission.

If you are adding insulation, whether it is fiberglass blanket insulation, blow in insulation, or polystyrene foam, but you aren’t using these together with eShield™ you don’t have the most effective, green solution for your home. eShield™ is the revolutionary, multilayer, reflective, radiant heat guard that when used with traditional insulation provides the most comprehensive protection against heat transfer in the industry. Ordinary blanket, batt, and blow in insulation have high R-values, but extremely low E-values – measures of emissivity or heat radiation. Emissivity accounts for the most heat transfer in many homes across the country, and eShield™ reflects 97 percent of all radiant energy it comes in contact with.

Adding eShield™ insulation to your home comes with numerous benefits like:

When adding insulation for a green home makeover or when undertaking a major home remodeling project, remember that only eShield™ provides the most protection against radiant heat transfer in the industry.
