Floor Insulation is another Vital Part of a Complete Insulation Solution

Even if your attic and walls are insulated, you won’t experience the most energy savings possible unless floor insulation is also installed in your home. A properly insulated floor keeps most of the cold air under your house in crawlspaces or your basement from seeping into rooms above. When cold air enters your home from below it causes your air conditioner to work harder and longer to maintain your desired temperature, which can make your monthly energy bills grow out of control.

A complete floor insulation solution for your home protects against all three types of heat transfer – conduction, convection, and radiation. Fiberglass batts and spray foam insulation offer exceptional protection against the first two forms of heat transfer, while a reflective radiant barrier protects against the third. While many homes already have fiberglass or spray insulation, many others lack a radiant barrier as part of their flooring insulation and are susceptible to heat radiation.

For homeowners and contractors looking for a radiant barrier to retrofit with existing floor insulation as part of a home remodeling project, eShield™ is the most advanced radiant barrier on the market. Using the same technology that keeps the sun’s rays from harming astronauts in space, eShield™ protects homes from an unprecedented 97 percent of radiant heat. Some homeowners who have chosen to install eShield™ to existing insulation have experienced energy savings of more than 50 percent.
