Lowers attic temperatures
- Diamond Barrier Plus™ thermal energy insulation products can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees when installed to the underside of roof rafters. Lowering attic temperatures provides a significant benefit by reducing air conditioner loads and energy usage.
- Reduce energy consumption
- The University of Nevada Las Vegas conducted independent research and discovered that radiant barrier insulation can reduce energy consumption by up to 35% during peak hours in the summer and by up to 29% over extended periods.
- Blocks radiant heat
- Our radiant barrier foil insulation products are made from 99% pure aluminum making them the best at blocking 97% of the radiant heat that attempts to enter building structures and by up to 29% over extended periods.
- High quality material
- Diamond Barrier Plus™ is a high quality, double-sided, tear- and puncture-resistant radiant barrier product. All Diamond Barrier Plus™ products meet the Standard Specifications for Sheet Radiant Barriers for Building Construction Applications ASTM.
Studies have shown that up to 93% of ceiling heat gained in summer months occurs from radiant heat transfers from attics heated by radiant energy from the sun.
Roof shingles and decking absorb radiant heat generated by the sun and transfer this heat into attic spaces heating up existing insulation. Once this existing insulation meets its saturation point, it then radiates this heat to all surfaces within the interior of the home (ceilings and walls).
Diamond Barrier Plus™ and reflective insulation products BLOCK almost ALL of this radiant heat.
Typical attics have insulation that can trap heat and add costs to your energy bills. Diamond Barrier Plus™ reflects the heat making your home much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
