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.

Very happy and impressed with the service from NW Crawl Space Services. Will did a great job with involving us in the inspection and review of what work needed to be done in the crawl space and reviewing what our options were. We had the insulation on our ducts in the crawlspace wrapped with new insulation and the joints were sealed with mastic and the vapor barrier was replaced. The crew showed up on time to complete the work, Rob was the lead and did an exceptional job explaining the process and also completing some extra work needed in order to fill a low spot in the crawl space. The work was done in one day (!!!) and earlier than expected. NW was referred from a neighbor down the street who had a similar experience, we were very happy with the entire process and communication from Will. Would hire them again for any similar work and recommend them for anyone looking at having work done in their crawlspace, the quotes were less than other competitors and they also included work that others hadn't seen or recommended.

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.
