Basement Floor Insulation that Stops Radiant Heat Transfer in its Tracks
Basements can be public enemy number one when it comes to driving up the costs of energy bills. eShield™ basement floor insulation, combined with existing insulation, can help turn any money-wasting basement into a beacon of energy efficiency. When you insulate a basement floor with eShield™, you get unparalleled multilayered technology.
Standard insulation is measured in R-value, which rates the product based on how well it protects against energy conduction and convection. But there is a third type of energy transfer – radiant heat energy – that most insulation does not effectively protect against. Basement floor insulation from eShield™ is measured in E-value, which measures emission, or the direct transfer of radiant heat. Incorporating the same technology used by NASA when protecting their astronauts from the radiant heat of the sun, eShield™ insulation stops 97% of radiant heat transfer in basement floors. That’s the reason why some customers who chose to install eShield™ when insulating a basement floor reported savings of up to 50% on energy costs.
Other than cost savings, eShield™ basement floor insulation has many other benefits. Along with the highest E-value in the industry, eShield™ insulation also boasts a permeability rating of 13, which means no mildew will develop and no other moisture damages will occur. This insulation is also insect-repellant, so you won’t find critters crawling around your basement floor.
