Jun 16, 2023 · Radiant barriers are utilized to reduce summer heat gain in attics. Attics heat up when the sun’s radiant energy heats the shingles and the heat is transferred to the interior attic space through the roofing materials via conduction.

Apr 29, 2019 · The goal of a foil-backed OSB is to cool the air within the top layer of insulation in the attic or wall by emitting the radiant heat absorbed through the roof or exterior walls, which reduces the Delta-T and lessens the overall energy use in a building.

Jan 15, 2024 · Radiant barrier roof decking is a structural OSB roof board coated with a heat-reflecting foil laminated to one side. When installed, Solarboard has been shown to keep a house about 30 degrees cooler. This product can easily be installed in the new construction of a house.

Block radiant heat in the roof by using this OSB TechShield Radiant Barrier. Provides long lasting durability and strength.

Weyerhaeuser 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.

Eclipse™ OSB Radiant Barrier panels are a cost-effective and energy-efficient roof sheathing solution, reducing attic temperatures in the summer by as much as 30°F.

Only LP TechShield sheathing features a durable layer of aluminum with patented VaporVents™ technology. Post-lamination incising prevents moisture build-up during and after construction, while the OSB substrate promotes breathability and does not create a vapor barrier.

Dec 12, 2023 · OSB roof decking and radiant barriers take very different approaches to protect and enhance roofs. OSB provides durable, structural decking capable of bearing loads, weather, and time. Radiant foil layers offer affordable summer cooling by blocking solar heat gain.

Helps block radiant heat in the roof panel from emitting into the home’s attic, reducing attic temperatures by up to 30º F. VaporVents™ technology allows any trapped moisture to escape from the radiant barrier panels during and after installation.
