What Affects the Scope
Placement, orientation and the required adjacent air space affect whether the assembly suits the product. Moisture, ducts, wiring and other equipment need review. A radiant barrier does not replace attention to air leakage, insulation or HVAC, and specific savings should not be assumed.
What to share
- Attic configuration
- Existing insulation
- Ventilation
- Moisture history
- Equipment locations
- Selected product if any
Does radiant barrier replace insulation?
No. It serves a different function. The existing insulation, air leakage, ventilation, roof assembly, HVAC,
and building use still need review.
Describe the attic or roof assembly, current insulation, access, and project goal.
