Radiant barrier · Greater St. George
Reflect the sun’s heat before it settles in your attic.
A radiant barrier is a reflective layer installed in the attic that reflects radiant heat from the roof instead of absorbing it. In a sun-baked climate like St. George, it can be a smart addition to a well-insulated, well-ventilated attic.

Is a radiant barrier right for your home?
Insulation resists heat flow. A radiant barrier reflects it.
Insulation slows heat moving through materials, while a radiant barrier reflects heat radiating from the hot roof deck. They solve different parts of the problem, which is why we look at your insulation, ventilation and attic layout before recommending a radiant barrier. It supports a good attic system and does not replace insulation.
- 01Your attic is extremely hot in summer
Radiant heat from the roof deck is a major source of attic heat on sunny afternoons.
- 02You already have decent insulation
A radiant barrier is most useful when insulation levels are reasonable and heat from the roof is the remaining problem.
- 03Your upstairs is hard to cool
Reducing heat radiating down from the attic can ease the load on your cooling system.
Our approach
Right product, right place, installed cleanly.
Radiant barrier results depend on how and where it is installed, and on the rest of your attic. We confirm it makes sense before we start.
Plan the installation
We explain where the barrier goes and how it works with your existing attic.
Install and verify
We install neatly and make sure ventilation paths stay clear.
Common questions
Radiant barrier answers, without the hype.
Is a radiant barrier the same as insulation?
No. Insulation slows heat conduction. A radiant barrier reflects radiant heat. They work best together, and a radiant barrier does not replace attic insulation.
Will it lower my energy bill?
It can help reduce attic heat and the load on your cooling system, but results vary with your insulation, ventilation, roof and HVAC system. We will give you an honest assessment rather than a promised number.
Does it help in winter?
Radiant barriers are mainly a summer cooling measure in a climate like ours. Winter benefits are generally smaller.
Does it qualify for ThermWise rebates?
Radiant barriers are not listed in the current Enbridge ThermWise weatherization table. We confirm what applies to your home during your assessment.
