Understanding Radiant Barriers Radiant barriers are easier to install during the construction phase of a new house or building. However, it is also possible to install these in an already built structure. You may have already seen these around as aluminum foil-like materials that are installed in walls and ceilings. And while many have attempted to DIY installation of radiant barriers, there are more who have failed to make it work. The secret to the effectiveness of radiant barriers is proper installation. It must be placed in the proper areas in a structure. Commonly found in attics, radiant barriers are made with highly reflective material. This material reflects radiant heat and does not absorb it. These barriers work best when combined with other insulation types as it can generally reduce heat but unlike thermal insulation, these radiant barriers can’t lessen heat conduction. Testing Information RIMA, the Reflective Insulation Manufacturers Association, performed testing of the most widely used IRCCS, Interior Radiation Control Coating Systems, otherwise known as attic radiant barrier coatings. The test results show that HeatBloc is the most effective coating on the market. Click to see pdf report.

However, you should check your warranty and contact the manufacturer to verify their particular warranty requirements.
