New York attic barrier - The Science
Your home is like a space suit. It should keep heat in when the weather is cold – and
keep it out when the weather is hot. The same radiant barrier technology used in space can produce dramatic results in your attic… and bring your heating and cooling bills down to earth.

A space suit can be 310°F on the side facing the sun and -290°F on the opposite side. But a flexible radiant barrier laminated into the fabric allows the space suit to reflect the searing heat of the sun and retain the body’s warmth on the dark side. |
