eShield Radiant Barrier

Author: admin - Posted on March 19th, 2010 Comments Off

Our highly versatile eShield is ideal for Kansas City residents looking to perform some serious energy efficient home improvements. From insulating your attic, ductwork, all the way down to your crawlspace, the eShield radiant barrier guarantees savings on your energy bills. If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a free estimate, please contact us today.

Q: Why don’t building codes specify E-values as well as R-values?

A: In the last century, the only cost-effective insulation for the home was mass insulation like fiberglass, cellulose and foam that reduced heat transfer by convection and conduction. The “R-value” was the measure of how good a job those insulators did. Yet R-value measures only the smallest part of residential heat transfer. E-value is the measure of emissive, radiant heat transfer, the principle source of energy loss. New technologies make it practical to achieve extremely low emissive in window glass and in a reflective film ideal for the attic. As these low-E technologies advance, the codes will catch up and E-value will replace R-value as the primary measure of energy efficiency.

Q: Will eShield™ installed in my attic trap mildew-causing moisture in my ceiling?

A: eShield™ is perforated to allow vapor to escape the housing envelope – it will not contribute to mildew growth in your home.

Q: Will eShield™ create a fire hazard in my attic?

A: eShield™ Attic Energy Barrier is fire-resistant – it’s less combustible than the structure to which it attaches. Of course, like almost any material, it will melt and eventually burn if exposed to an open flame.

Q: Can I get a rebate for installing eShield™?

A: eShield™ Attic Energy Barrier is Department of Energy approved and bears the Energystar® mark. This is the gold standard in energy efficiency and qualifies for most federal, state and energy company rebates. Check with your eShield™ rep to learn what’s available in your area.
