Three Reasons to Install LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Foil
-
Cuts Attic Temps By Up to 30 Degrees
On summer days, sidewalks are “hot enough to fry an egg.” Even after the sun goes down, the pavement still feels hot for several hours. The same thing happens on the roof and in the attic. It gets incredibly hot. That radiant heat can enter the home through the attic. It can also make the air conditioner and duct work less efficient.
LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Foil prevents up to 97 percent of the radiant heat in the roofing materials from entering the house. This can lower the temperature in the attic as much as 30 degrees.
-
Lowers Energy Bills
You want an energy efficient home and lower energy bills. During the summer, air conditioning can be one of the biggest energy expenses in the home.
You can reduce monthly energy bills by up to 17 percent with LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Foil. It keeps the attic cooler, which keeps the whole house cooler. That means the air conditioner does less work. The cooler temperatures throughout the house help your duct work and HVAC system work more efficiently.
Using LP TechShield helps reduce overall energy consumption in the home, which is good for both your wallet and the environment.
