There are numerous reflective insulation products that can be used
in a variety of roof applications. Radiant Barrier Foil Insulation
can be installed over, under or in between roof rafters to create a
Reflective Radiant Barrier. This method of installation is
typically used in very warm climates for residential, post frame
and metal building applications. When installed in the roof of a
structure, Foil Insulation reflects hot sun's rays away, keeping the
inside of your building cool and dry.
