RADIANT BARRIERS AND HOW THEY WORK:

"Entire paint jobs can benefit from
the enhanced capabilities offered by Radiosity 3000.  Increased life and washability are added bonus of Radiosity 3000!"

 

As sunlight strikes the shingles on your roof, infrared
(radiant) energy is transformed into heat.  This heat passes
through roofing materials and is radiated as infrared into
your attic.  Simply stated, the roofing materials have become
an infrared heat source. 

Radiant Heat passes
 through the roof!

Radiosity 3000 blocks a
significant portion of
 this radiant source.

Radiosity 3000 is added to paint then applied by
conventional means.  Interior and exterior surfaces treated
with Radiosity 3000 can reduce infrared energy throughout
the day.  Individual walls and ceiling can be treated to
reduce summer temperatures as needed. 

EXPECTED ENERGY SAVINGS:
Reducing attic and duct temperatures provide energy savings that
average 15 to 20 percent.  Conditions that can affect this reduction
vary from one home to the next.  The U.S. Department of Energy has
determined that a savings up to 42% can be realized from homes that
are fully protected by radiant barriers!
