radiant barrier |
 | | Radiant barriers are installed in homes – most commonly in attics – to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss, which helps lower heating and cooling costs. |
| | Radiant barriers come in a variety of forms, including reflective foil, reflective paint coatings, reflective metal roof shingles, reflective laminated roof sheathing, and even reflective chips, which can be mixed with loose-fill insulation. |
| | Radiant barriers can be installed between the roof sheathing and attic floor insulation, in cavity walls, and around door openings, water heaters, and pipes. |
