eShield™ Flooring Insulation is Ideal for Homeowners Looking to Go Green

When you’re performing a home “greenovation,” don’t forget about flooring insulation. Properly insulated floors can play a key role in reducing monthly energy costs as well as your overall environmental impact. There are three types of energy transfers: conduction, convection, and emission. While most insulation does an adequate job at resisting the first two, they have no impact on emission.

Emission is the direct transfer of heat from a radiant source, like the sun, and is the number one contributor to high utility bills. Luckily, eShield™ flooring insulation is here to help. Crafted from the same state-of-the-art radiant resistant material used in NASA spacesuits, eShield™ reflects 97 percent of all emission and, when combined with existing insulation, forms the ultimate energy blocking barrier. In fact, homeowners can save up to 25 percent on power bills.

When you insulate floors with eShield™, you can also expect:

• No moisture damage – eShield™ has a permeability rating of 13
• Tax credits – eShield™ can qualify you for a federal energy tax credit
• No waste – eShield™ can be added on top of existing insulation
• No hassle – eShield™ contractors will come to your home and perform the installation
