What Is SuperShield Plus Radiant Insulation?
Proud members of:
SuperShield Plus insulation is a reflective insulation
system that offers a permanent way to reduce
energy costs. SuperShield Plus insulation systems
reflect radiant heat energy instead of trying to
absorb it. A pure aluminum radiant barrier
reflective insulation is unaffected by humidity
and will continue to perform at a consistent level
no matter how humid it may be. A
SuperShield Plus system is a layer
of foil facing an airspace and is
installed in the envelope of your attic.

SuperShield Plus reflects radiant heat energy instead of trying to absorb it. What does this mean in your home or business? During the winter, 50-75% of heat loss through the ceiling/roofing system and 65-80% of heat loss through walls is radiant. In the summer, up to 93% of heat gain is radiant. If you are depending on R-value (resistance) alone to insulate against heat gain and loss, remember that thin layers of fiberglass are virtually transparent to radiant energy and are affected by changes in humidity (moisture levels). A 1-1/2% change in the moisture content of fiberglass insulation will result in a 36% decrease in performance (referenced from HVAC Manual 10.6; McGraw-Hill). A pure aluminum radiant barrier is unaffected by humidity and will continue to perform at a consistent level no matter how humid it may be.
