Radiant barriers are materials with reflective surfaces designed to reflect radiant energy and help lower cooling costs. They provide an effective method for reducing heat transfer through floors, roofs, and walls.
Installed radiant barriers are metal sheets or films established in various configurations on roof or floor surfaces above unheated areas to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss. They are effective in many climates but particularly in climates like the San Francisco Bay Area.
Help your attic stay cooler in the summer and reduce heat transfer through your walls to help prevent heat loss. Radiant barriers are most effective when they are installed directly against insulation. In some cases, you may need to install a plywood or drywall radiant barrier over the insulation.

Since each home is different, it’s advised that a professional installer looks at your attic to determine its current R-value and help you determine the steps that are needed to bring it up to code.
