Don’t’ Forget Attic Door Insulation when Retrofitting your Home
As the most wasteful room in the house, attics need a lot of attention when being insulated to ensure maximum energy efficiency, meaning no area should go unchecked. This is why no job is complete without the addition of attic door insulation. An insulated attic door will help transform this usually inefficient room into a virtual fortress of energy conservation. But if homeowners want to save the most on their utility bills and conserve the most energy, insulating their attic should be a two-step process that involves installing both standard insulation and eShield™.
There are three different ways heat is transferred in and out of homes:
- Conduction – which is the transfer of heat between two solid objects that are in contact
- Convection – which is when heat is transferred between objects through air circulation
- Emission – which is when heat is directly transferred from a radiant source
Standard attic door insulation boasts a sufficient R value, meaning it is capable of blocking both conduction and convection. But E value is what’s most important, as that measures the ability to stop emission, which is the way most energy is lost in homes. Luckily, there is a revolutionary product available specifically designed to stop this transfer of radiant heat.
eShield™ attic door insulation features the highest E value on the market today and as a retrofit product, can be added on top of existing insulation to form a complete heat transfer barrier. And with ability to block 97% of all radiant heat transfer, eShield™ can save homeowners up to 25% on energy costs.
