All-Pro Roofing uses the latest innovation in radiant barrier technology- Heat Bloc Ultra. Why does All-Pro Roofing choose to carry only HeatBloc? We’ve found that the water-based, low emissivity product is an excellent replacement for foil or metallized plastic film radiant barriers and, in many situations, it’s the only economical solution. Since HeatBloc is an easily installed spray, there is little to no retrofitting required and can be applied to enclosed areas. Here’s a few quick facts about our radiant barrier product:

• Low emissivity, high reflectivity
• Permeable, does not trap moisture
• Does not block cellular or antennae signals as can occur with foil products
• One operator can easily install 1000 ft.²/hour using a spray rig
• Excellent investment, normally saves 12-15% of AC costs, improves comfort levels
• Improves efficiency of existing insulation
• Only economical way to retrofit radiant barrier to existing structures
• Increase the value of your home

Q. What is a radiant barrier?

A radiant barrier (materials usually consisting of a thin sheet or coating of a highly reflective material) reflects up to 97% of the “radiant” energy that comes from the sun. Radiant energy is generated by the sun and travels through space and does not create any heat until it strikes any object. This energy would normally conduct through your roof, radiate to your insulation and then into your home. By applying Radiant Barriers to the underside of your roof deck, you can lower your utility bills and increase your comfort.

Q. How much money will I save if I install radiant barriers, insulation, and ventilation?

This depends on the existing condition in your attic. If you have little or no insulation then the upgrade alone can save you 30% on heating and cooling costs.

A Radiant Barrier can save you from 8 – 15% depending again on the existing condition. Not many numbers are given for ventilation. However, it makes sense that moving that hot air from your attic will save you money.

Q. What are the 3 modes of Heat Transfer?

1. Conductive: Heat transfer that results from molecular-level kinetic energy in solids. We try to control this type of transfer with insulation and thermal mass.

2. Convective: The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Proper attic ventilation allows cooler air in at the eaves and expels hot attic air from the roof ventilators. It also removes moisture.

3. Radiant: Heat transfer that moves energy by means of electromagnetic waves. Two surfaces of different temperature are all that’s needed to pass radiant energy. When matter absorbs radiant energy, heat is produced.

The Finished Product. Note That the Rafters Do Not Need to be Covered

1. Replace windows or at least caulk around them.
2. Weather strip doors.
3. Change your energy provider, if you are still with the primary retail electric provider then you can save by switching to a more competitive supplier.
4. Energy efficient light bulbs.
5. Upgrade your air conditioner (this can be expensive) or at least keep up with regular filter changes and yearly maintenance to ensure proper function of the system.
6. Install a programmable thermostat.
7. Set your thermostat at a higher temperature in the summer and lower in the winter.
8. Install ceiling fans and then change your thermostat. You will feel as cool as before.
