For This Product.
A radiant barrier is a reflective insulation type system that offers a permanent way to reduce energy costs. Most people are familiar with traditional insulating materials such as fiberglass, cellulose, Styrofoam, and rock wool. These products use their ability to absorb or resist convective and conductive heat transfer to insulate (R-value). Radiant barriers are ‘technically’ not an insulation material, due to the fact they are only a thin sheet of reinforced aluminum foil, however with an air space of 3/4” or more, radiant barriers have a theoretical R-value of 53.
Radiant barriers address radiation (Electromagnetic) heat transfer, the single most efficient type of heat transfer, by reflecting that radiation away from the radiant barrier. Our A typical home will loose heat in the winter and gain heat in the summer and the majority of that heat is radiant heat, so stopping radiant heat transfer in both the winter and summer months is the most effective way to reduce energy cost. Ra-flect™ radiant barrier reduces energy costs in both summer months and winter months because it is double sided, and will keep heat in during the winter months and reflect radiant heat away during the hot summer months. Installing a radiant barrier in your attic is the most cost effective, way of reducing your heating and cooling cost and provide the quickest payback(less than a year) of any energy efficient material or product.

Ra-flect™ Fire Rated Perforated Radiant Barrier
Our Fire Rated Radiant Barrier is a Double-Sided, Class A / Class 1, Tear-Resistant, Non-Toxic metalized film Radiant Barrier made by sandwiching a polyethylene reinforcement between two layers of metalized film, giving it high reflectivity and low emissivity values while resisting flame spread at the same time. Our Ra-flect Fire Rated Radiant Barrier is one of the few radiant barriers to actually pass the new ASTM E84 of 2010 fire test, in which the flame is placed on the edge of the material as opposed to the foil faced side. When compared to other fire rated radiant barriers, Ra-flect smokes the competition.
We also offer a non-perforated version Ra-flect™ Fire Rated VB Radiant Barrier, which also doubles as a vapor barrier (aka: vapor retardant).
