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™ Perforated Radiant Barrier
Our Premium Radiant Barrier is a heavy weight, Double-Sided, Tear-Resistant, Non-Toxic Aluminum Radiant Barrier. It is made only from top-of-the-line materials, using a patented layering system which sandwiches a polyethylene woven mesh between two layers of 99% pure polished Aluminum, giving it an above average reflectivity of 97% and making it one of the strongest most durable radiant barriers on the market. When compared to other sheet type radiant barriers and spray-on paint products (which only reflect 75% by the way), Ra-flect Radiant Barrier outshines the competition. The perforated version comes with clean, small laser perforations to allow the passage of moisture, making it suitable for any climate condition.
We also offer a non-perforated version Ra-flect™ VB Radiant Barrier, which also doubles as a vapor barrier (aka: vapor retardant).

Review:
This is a fantastic product! I installed it in my attic last summer and my electrici bills went down by almost $50. Its paid for itself in under a year.
