This client called us to install a radiant barrier in the attic. Radiant barriers control temperature fluctuations and keep the attic much cooler during the warmer months. Proper installation ensures it never has to be replaced. In addition, the air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard replacing cold air, which saves on energy costs. A radiant barrier is also a boost in a home’s property value.
The team closely followed the manufacturer’s specifications for installing the radiant barrier. They lined the sloped surfaces along the interior roof and the walls, securing the material with staples. They also ensured that ventilation holes were unblocked and left adequate air space for insulation. Finally, Owens Corning blown-in insulation was installed in compliance with Title 24 CA building code.
