Radiant Barrier Installed Before Attic Insulation

What Is An Attic Radiant Barrier?

An attic radiant barrier is a highly reflective material that is installed on the plywood or draped over trusses under the roof decking in the attic. It helps reflect thermal radiation and reduce heat transfer from entering the attic.

Northwest Crawl Space Services is hands the BEST crawlspace and insulation contractor EVER, here in Western Washington!

I’m a first time home buyer who purchased a flipper townhome “as-is”, that was built in 1983, and with that being said, none of the crawlspace work was touched at all. Well…I learned within the first year of living in my home how critical it is to have a clean, protected and neat crawlspace, because my floors were constantly cold in the winter and it was so difficult for me to keep my home heated! On top of that, I had discovered that I actually had a rat burrow issue down there that I had no idea about all along! Thanks to Mark, he was able to come by and take a look and confirm how cooked my crawlspace actually was! He did a great job at observing my crawlspace and providing me a fair quote price for the job. It made sense because my home over time started to smell musty and the air quality was seriously starting to bother me! No matter how much cleaning I did downstairs, that musty smell was always lingering!

Rob, along with his team that he came with to my home, were all so kind, amazingly professional, and were so considerate with the disposal process out in my driveway and really focused diligently on completing the work in my crawlspace in a safe and efficient manner. Rob was very detailed oriented when I had questions; he’s the best!

Talia in the office was so kind and welcoming whenever I called the office to ask questions. Savannah was also kind and courteous when touched base with her about completing my final billing transaction. Liza from Marketing did such a wonderful job with the detailed Project Completion Report, providing all the Before and After information with pictures!

Overall, please don’t hesitate to contact this company if you believe your home has crawlspace or insulation issues! Northwest Crawl Space Services will seriously get you right and take care of you!!! 👍💯

Frequently Asked Questions

How does an attic radiant barrier work?

Radiant barriers reflect radiant heat instead of absorbing it, which helps lower attic temperatures and reduces the strain on your cooling system.

Is this a replacement for attic insulation?

No. A radiant barrier is not a substitute for insulation. It’s an added layer of protection that works alongside your existing insulation and ventilation to better regulate attic airflow and temperature.

How long does an installation take?

Most installations are completed in a single day, depending on the attic’s size, accessibility, and whether additional work is being done at the same time.

Does a radiant barrier installation come with a warranty?

Yes, our radiant barrier installation is backed by a 10 year warranty on both the materials and our installation workmanship. Should any issues arise due to defective materials or improper installation, we will repair or place the affected radiant barrier at no additional cost to you during this 10 year period.
