eShield™ VS. Ordinary Insulation
See the dramatic thermal performance improvement that eShield™ attic energy barrier can provide in your home.
In these photos, an identical heat source is applied to two installations: one with R-19 mass insulation only, and one with the same mass insulation covered by a single layer of eShield™ attic energy barrier.

| R-value measures only the resistance to conduction and convection, but almost all of the energy lost in your home is through emission – radiant heat transfer. “E-value” (the ability to prevent radiant heat transfer) is far more important than R-value in evaluating an insulation system. eShield™ Attic Energy Barrier has a much higher E-value than any form of mass insulation. | ||
