Smart Foils are a Smart Choice

We all know how hot it gets in Southern Utah and the southwestern states. As the sun beats down on the roofs of homes, the buzzing cry of air conditioning units seem to struggle just to keep up. When the sun heats a roof, it’s primarily the sun’s radiant energy that makes the roof hot. A large portion of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces, including the air ducts and the attic floor. Ductwork and attic floor insulation can help after the heat has reached the attic, however, a radiant barrier can significantly reduce heat transfer from the underside of the roof to the other surfaces in the attic.

“SMARTFOILS” radiant barrier systems are an inexpensive but effective way for homeowners and business owners to save energy and money. While they are not a new concept, radiant barriers have only recently been proven effective for energy conservation. A radiant barrier system may be installed in an existing home or commercial business property. The professionals at HiCaliber in St. George, Utah will install a cost effective barrier system for your home.
