Attic Foil Insulation
Stop Heat Gain. Retain Comfort. Save Energy.
ES® attic foil insulation (radiant barrier for attic) reflects radiant heat to improve year-round comfort, lower energy bills, and support energy-efficient home insulation. Installed beneath the roof rafters, it prevents unwanted heat from entering your living spaces in summer and reduces heat loss in winter.
Reflects radiant heat to improve year-round comfort and reduce energy bills.
Installed beneath the roof rafters, it keeps unwanted heat out in summer and retains warmth in winter, supporting a more energy-efficient home.
Block Radiant Heat in Your Attic
Attics are one of the biggest sources of energy loss in homes. Radiant barriers reflect heat away from your attic, keeping your home cooler and more energy-efficient.
Reduce Heat Loss
A properly installed roof radiant heat barrier under roof decking reduces attic heat buildup and improves HVAC efficiency.
Improve Air Circulation and Prevent Moisture
Perforated ES® attic foil insulation allows air to circulate, stopping moisture from collecting and preventing mold and mildew. This protects your roof structure and insulation, contributing to a healthier, more energy-efficient home.
How Reflective Attic Insulation Works
Radiant barrier insulation works by reflecting infrared energy back toward its source. When installed with an air space, it limits heat transfer through attic ceilings and walls while also acting as a vapor barrier to reduce condensation.
Key Technical Benefits:
- Reduces radiant heat transfer
- Reflects infrared energy
- Air space ensures optimal performance
- Improves overall energy efficiency in the attic
