A radiant barrier is a kind of insulation that can be installed in both commercial and residential types of buildings. Each barrier is made from an extremely reflective material, such as aluminum foil. Many products used for this insulation are fiber-reinforced to prolong their durability. The primary purpose of this insulation is to decrease radiant heat gain in the summer, which also lowers overall cooling costs. It occurs because the reflective exterior of barriers minimizes the flow of heat from the surface of your roof to your attic.

We always make sure that your HVAC benefits from installing radiant barriers. ### Decrease heat in your attic It’s impossible to overstate the importance of reducing heat build-up in your attic.

Global Green Solutions works only with high-quality materials that are really durable. ### Extend the lifespan of your A/C In lower temperatures, your HVAC system requires a smaller number of cycle times.

We offer services of professional radiant barrier insulation as a part of upgrading your HVAC system. ### Take advantage of the SoCal weather The high temperatures and sunny weather of Southern California and Texas make radiant barriers even more impactful than in regions with cooler climates.

Our certified technicians will check your HVAC system to see how much its efficiency can be increased. ### Decrease overall insulation costs Radiant barriers are remarkably affordable, particularly when they are compared to other popular insulation materials like spray foam. Experts have estimated that radiant barrier insulation can pay for itself through energy savings within 4-5 years. At Global Green Solutions, we professionally install this type of insulation at a reasonable price. ## Use Your Energy in a Smart Way with Global Green Solutions Can I install radiant barrier insulation alone? The efficiency of your insulation depends on how well it is installed. In addition, certain restrictions and safety precautions must be followed very carefully so that there will be no potential hazards. That’s why we suggest entrusting the whole thing to our certified technicians, who have loads of experience and all the necessary skills. Can I have a radiant barrier in my old home? Technically, it is much simpler to install this insulation in a new building. But our service team can place radiant barriers in your old home with an attic that can be opened. Technicians from Global Green Solutions will first prepare the surfaces for the installations and then perform the rest of the necessary work. Why is it necessary to leave airspace when placing a radiant barrier? First, radiant heat does not transmit without an air gap because this heat moves across air gaps or vacuum. So, there must be some space between the barrier itself and the surface, for example, the roof walls. And that’s why we recommend radiant barriers to be placed by certified experts to avoid common mistakes that will decrease the insulation efficiency. ## Is a Radiant Barrier Worth It in Los Angeles? The Department of Energy puts the savings from a radiant barrier at about 5% to 10% of cooling costs in warm, sunny climates, with the biggest benefit when the air conditioning ducts run through the attic ([DOE Energy Saver](https://web.archive.org/web/20260617191459/https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/radiant-barriers)). If your roof takes the afternoon sun and your ducts run through the attic below it, yours is the case that figure describes. Our guide [what a radiant barrier is and whether it is worth it](https://ggshvac.com/radiant-barriers/radiant-barrier-explained/) walks through the cases. ## Radiant Barrier or More Insulation? ### Insulation Insulation slows heat that conducts through the ceiling. It works all year and is measured in R-value. ### Radiant barrier A radiant barrier reflects radiant heat from the hot roof before it warms the attic. It works best on sunny summer days and has no R-value of its own. ### Both together Together they cover both paths. An attic with thin insulation may need [attic insulation](https://ggshvac.com/attic-insulation/) first; the DOE notes the barrier helps most when the cooling ducts are in the attic. ## How a Radiant Barrier Is Installed ### 1. Attic check Access, ventilation, the condition of the roof deck and where the ducts run. ### 2. Placement The foil is stapled to the underside of the rafters or roof deck, shiny side facing the air gap, because radiant heat only moves across an air space. ### 3. Ventilation kept open Soffit and ridge vents stay clear so the attic can still breathe. ### 4. Dust in mind A barrier laid flat on top of insulation collects dust and loses reflectivity, which is why the roof-side installation is preferred. Pair it with sealed, insulated ducts ([air duct replacement](https://ggshvac.com/air-duct-replacement/)) and a cooling system in good shape ([AC maintenance](https://ggshvac.com/ac-maintenance/)) for the full effect on your summer bills. ## What Affects the Cost of a Radiant Barrier? ### Attic size and roof shape The roof area to cover and how many slopes, hips and valleys it has. ### Access Low clearance and tight corners take longer. ### Attic condition Ventilation and existing insulation are checked first, since both affect the result. ## Clients Love Global Green’s Radiant Barriers Installation in LA Radiant Barrier Installation Los Angeles | Global Green Solutions ### Bob T.
