![]() ![]() This results in more comfortable ceilings and floors, and therefore a more comfortable you. eShield™ installed in your attic and crawlspace works by reflecting out the radiant heat in the summer and reflecting back in the radiant heat in the winter. Ideally, you want your walls and ceiling to be a few degrees warmer than your skin during the winter and a few degrees cooler in the summer.ĮShield™ radiant barrier is specifically designed around radiant heat transfer. Just like windows and walls that get direct sun are always warmer, if warm surfaces are radiating heat onto your skin, your body can’t cool down and you set the thermostat lower. Thermal radiation accounts for up to 2/3 of your body’s ability to regulate temperature. Your thermostat controls the air temperature but has no way to measure or regulate “how it feels” in the house. This is achieved by reducing fluctuations in mean radiant temperature.Ĭomfort is influenced by both air temperature (convection) and the temperature of the surfaces around you (thermal radiation). This directly results in more comfortable living spaces regardless of the temperature setting on your thermostat. More moderate attic temperatures means less load on attic insulation, which results in lower ceiling temperatures in summer (and higher in winter).
