Temper Shield Radiant Barrier
FROM UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS OF ROCKWELL NC

How Temper Shield Works

The Temper Shield Radiant Barrier reflects 97% of all radiant energy with its space age-reflective material. Mass insulation often just slows down the transfer of heat, but Temper Shield reflects the heat back. In short, Temper Shield stops the transfer of radiant heat into your home.

In the wintertime, our product will keep heat from leaking out of your home. It acts like a space blanket, which holds in your body heat, despite being very thin and lightweight. And like a space blanket, which works more efficiently than covering up with several blankets, Temper Shield does more than several layers of traditional insulation materials.

Temper Shield will reflect back the sun’s heat in the summer, stopping heat from warming up your insulation. When you have cool insulation, you have a cool home. The space suits astronauts wear keeps in their body heat, but reflect back the sun’s rays. Temper Shield does the same for your home.

Temper Shield Radiant Heat Barrier Uses

The radiant barrier works best in ceilings and under floors in homes, businesses and agricultural buildings, including metal structures.

Our product can be used as:

• An addition to traditional mass insulation in attics
• A Temper Shield in crawl spaces and under floors
• A way to reduce radiant heat gains in metal buildings and barrel truss roofs

Why Use a Radiant Barrier?

Radiant barrier technologies originated from developments out of NASA and the military. It was later adapted for the construction industry, and now has become more popular among home and business owners.

A radiant barrier has qualities similar to aluminum foil, and is able to provide maximum temperature control in your home. When thinking of a radiant barrier, focus on the term “barrier,” because it doesn’t just trap warm air inside, but ensure cooler temperatures in contrast to the sizzling heat outside.

Even if your home is well insulated, installing a Temper Shield Radiant Barrier can save you on your heating and cooling costs, while keeping your home feeling pleasant. With a radiant barrier from Utility Improvements, you could see a 22-55% savings, depending on your climate, building configuration, materials used, size of family and lifestyle.
