茄子视频 Radiant Barrier Sheathing (RBS) comes pre-fabricated with a reflective foil layer that reflects up to 97%* of the sun’s radiant energy, minimizing heat transfer through the roof and insulation to interior living spaces. As an added plus, 茄子视频 RBS can even help keep non-air-conditioned, uninsulated rooms like garages, workshops and porches cooler, increasing a home’s usable space.

Installing RBS is an efficient, cost-effective way to help keep interior living spaces comfortable while saving energy costs. 茄子视频 RBS provides all these benefits with no additional labor or material hassles. Thanks to an innovative wood-resin combination, every 茄子视频 RBS panel is manufactured flat, installs flat and stays flat, and has been engineered to precise specifications to resist problems like cupping, warp and sag. The radiant foil layer is perforated for ventilation to protect against condensation and moisture build-up.

How traditional roof sheathing works

Radiant energy transferred through standard roof sheathing creates heat build-up in the attic. With no barrier to restrict the heat, it radiates through the insulation into living spaces, causing room temperatures to rise. More energy is needed to cool the house and that means higher energy costs for homeowners.

How 茄子视频 RBS works

Foil-laminated 茄子视频 RBS panels reflect the sun鈥檚 radiant energy back outside, away from the attic and house. Up to 97%* of the sun鈥檚 radiant energy is transferred away from the home, significantly lowering attic temperatures and reducing the amount of energy needed to cool the home.
