Radiant barrier consists of a thin coating or sheet of a highly reflective material, usually aluminum, that is applied to the underside of a roof in order to reduce attic temperatures and increase the efficiency of HVAC systems located in the attic.

Like fiberglass insulation, radiant barrier reduces heat transferred from the attic into the home.  The difference is in HOW it does this.   

Fiberglass insulation does not reduce the attic temperature; it simply slows the rate at which the heat moves through the attic and into the home.  Radiant barrier blocks 75% of radiant heat from entering the attic, reducing the amount of heat that transfers into the home (reducing heat gain through the attic floor by up to 40%). 

In summer, it works like a space suit, reflecting the sun’s heat before it can warm up your attic. In winter, it reflects heat back into the house.  The result is a significant reduction in attic temperatures, reducing the load on HVAC systems.
