This method of installing attic insulation keeps your attic temperature lower, requiring less effort from your air conditioner. This attic insulation installation takes a few hours and in hot months you should see an immediate change on your energy bill. Some of the most common cities using reflective attic insulation are Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, Texas, Florida, and Phoenix, Arizona.

Attic insulation - "Over Joist" method
During cold winter months, 50-75% of your home or building's heat can be lost through your attic area due to radiant heat transfer. Fiberglass and cellulose blow-in insulation in attics only slow down heat transfer and do nothing against radiant heat gain or loss. Fiberglass and cellulose insulations absorb and retain heat, but will eventually transfer the heat to cooler air outside the attic roof insulation. Attic radiant barrier reflects up to 97% of radiant heat back toward the living space, keeping your home warmer and saving you on heating costs. Installing radiant barrier attic insulation is clean, quick, and easy with our EcoFoil Perforated Radiant Barrier product. Just roll the reflective attic foil insulation across the attic floor right over top of any existing insulation and and don't place anything directly on top of it (a minimum 3/4 inch air space is required to reflect heat.) This combination is the best insulation for attic spaces that aren't used for storage to minimize heat transfer.
