Heat Barrier Reflecting the Most Radiant Heat in the Industry - eShield™

Most homes have a heat barrier of fiberglass insulation installed in their attics when they are built. However, traditional fiberglass insulation can become less effective over time because it compresses with age, which lowers its r-value – or resistance to heat conduction and convection. Your home’s insulation is crucial to energy savings because it blocks the movement of heat into and out of your home, and thereby reduces the amount of energy your heating and cooling system needs to use to maintain a comfortable temperature. If your energy bills have been rising, you may have inadequate insulation heat barrier. This means it may be time to call an insulation contractor to get your home’s energy consumption back on track.

When you are ready to install a better heat barrier to improve the energy efficiency of your home, you should consider replacing traditional insulation with new fiberglass, or even adding more layers on top of older compressed blankets and blow-in pieces. Another option is spray foam insulation, which offers the most thorough insulation coverage. However, even these two options only protect from heat conduction and convection. A large portion of heat loss in homes comes from a third kind of heat transfer – radiation. A radiant heat barrier should also be installed with these types of traditional insulation to ensure a total insulation system to realize maximum energy savings.

eShield™ – the revolutionary, multilayer, reflective, radiant heat barrier – reflects an unsurpassed 97 percent of radiant heat. This advanced reflective insulation is the result of more than a decade of research into radiant heat transfer and is manufactured using the same design technology that keeps astronauts safe from the sun’s heat in space. When eShield™ is combined with traditional insulation, it forms a comprehensive insulation system, which has led some homeowners to experience energy savings of more than 50 percent.
