An Insulation Contractor Who Doesn’t Utilize eShield™ Isn’t Offering You the Best Insulation Solution for Your Home
When deciding on an insulation contractor you should always ask to see their certification, any references, and an itemized estimate with stated r values – and e values. Traditional insulation, like spray foams and fiberglass blankets, protect from heat conduction and convection, and the amount of protection gives them their r value. However, this is only two-thirds of the battle against heat transfer into and out of your home. They do not protect from the third kind of heat transfer – radiant heat emissions. Products that reflect radiant heat away from homes are called radiant foil barriers or guards, and they have an e value – or the level of protection against heat emissions. A good insulation contractor will take all three types of heat transfer into consideration for your home greenovation projects.
When it comes to protection against emissivity, not all radiant barriers are the same. eShield ™ deflects 97 percent of heat radiation – a level unmatched by any other radiant guard on the market. When insulation contractors install eShield™ with traditional insulation, homeowners have the most comprehensive insulation solution available. Some homeowners who have chosen a remodeling contractor utilizing eShield™ have seen energy savings of more than 50 percent.
