E-Barrier reflective coating helps keep the interior of structures warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer by reducing the loss of radiant heat in the winter and reducing the penetration of heat into a building in the summer. It contains proprietary materials which reflect radiant heat back towards its source. In the winter, about 65% of a building's heat that would normally escape through the roof surface is reflected back into the building, reducing the loss of heat. In the summer, a similar amount of radiant energy from the sun is reflected back reducing the pick up of heat in a building!
Radiant energy is energy that comes in waves from the sun. When those waves strike the roof of a home or building, the roof absorbs that heat, creating increased temperatures in the attic, which is eventually transferred throughout the building. On warm days, this radiant heat results in increased air conditioning costs. On cool days, radiant energy comes from an inside source, like a furnace, and escapes through the attic. So heat and energy costs are actually going out the roof!
Where there's radiant heat coming into a house or going out, you are paying more than you should. When E-Barrier is applied to the underside of attic roof decking or to previously coated commercial decking, it creates a barrier that reflects radiant energy, helping to prevent it from entering or leaving the building. E-Barrier reduces heating and cooling costs by as much as 15% as certified by an independent testing laboratory!
