Radiant barrier installed properly can lower the temperature in the attic, but if installed on the floor it can cause issues like condensation and in a short time become ineffective due to damage and dust. Here is another great radiant barrier job completed by the Dr. Energy Saver Team in Lewes, Delaware.
Exposed fiberglass batt insulation on kneewalls cause rooms to be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The Dr. Energy Saver SmartKneewall Conversion System encapsulates kneewalls to improve the insulation efficiency. The radiant barrier and graphite infused foam increases the thermal performance making the room more comfortable year round.
The radiant barrier installed in this Lewes, Delaware home was not installed properly. Radiant Barriers installed on the floor loose efficiency shortly after installation. This Lewes homeowner called Dr. Energy Saver to remove the radiant barrier and insulate with blown fiberglass to the recommended Energy Star level for Delaware.
Holes and spaces in your rim joist allows the hot or cold air from outside to enter through your basement and penetrate the floor boards. This causes varying temperatures in different rooms of the home, and ultimately, an uncomfortable home. It is important to make sure that all holes are covered up and air sealed to prevent this from happening.
