Unlike mass insulation, which only slows down or resists heat transfer, Radiant

Barrier reflects heat. Heat, by natural law, always turns cold. The problem is how to keep the heat in during the winter and out during the summer.

There are three ways in which heat goes from warm spaces to cold spaces:

·Conduction is direct heat flow through a solid object like a wall or ceiling.

·Convection is heat movement through air, occurring when air is warmed. The warm air expands, becoming less dense, and rises.

·Radiation is the movement of heat rays across air spaces from one warm object to another cooler object. The heat we feel from a wood stove or a quartz space heater is radiant heat.

All objects and bodies give off radiant heat! Even the insulation in your attic gives off radiant heat to the cold attic space in the winter and to the living space in the summer. In winter, regular insulation won’t stop radiant heat loss! Radiant heat must be

TMreflected with a radiant barrier. Super R will reradiate only 3% of heat in which it comes in close physical contact compared with the approximate 90% reradiation of ordinary building materials at the same temperature.

Just like wrapping a baked potato in aluminum foil keeps a potato warm longer by holding the heat in, covering your attic insulation with Radiant Barrier holds the

TMTempShield Bubble Products...for all your insulation needs

TTM

empShield is comprised of a Nylon layer co-extruded between two layers of

durable and economical Polyethylene to create a bubble product that will retain its air much longer than competitive bubble products. Nylon is 100 times more resistant to the passage of air than polyethylene resulting in consistent R values.

Tests indicate that under a one pound psi load for four days, the competitive bubble loses up to 35% of the air or thickness while

TMTempShield will only lose 5% of its air.

heat in the house during winter’s cold. In summer, just like a space suit, Radiant Barrier reflects the sun’s heat before it can warm up the insulation in your attic. When the insulation stays cooler, your house will stay cooler. Think of it like a Thermos Bottle... a near perfect insulator. The tight seal and air space prohibits heat transfer by conduction and convection. The reflective surfaces inhibit radiation heat transfer. If it starts out hot it stays hot because little heat

is transferred to the cooler outside. If it’s cold it stays cold because very little heat is transferred from the warmer outside.

TMSuper R Radiant Barrier can be installed on top of your present insulation like a blanket or stapled under your rafters or crawl space. Regardless of how much insulation you have in your attic, adding Radiant Barrier will save on your heating and cooling expense and keep you

much more comfortable. Up to 17% in energy savings can be realized depending on climate, building configuration, materials used, site, family size, and lifestyle, etc. Your Radiant Barrier dealer has been trained to evaluate your home or business and advise you of your energy savings potential.

When transporting product in a trailer or container, it’s usually stacked 4 to 5 rolls high, which amounts to a load of 60 lbs. psi and causes the bubbles on the bottom to lose air.

TMTempShield is made of 20% recycled material and comes in extended widths up to ten feet wide.

The Florida Solar Energy Center at Cape Canaveral has tested radiant barriers in both small scale laboratory and full scale building models. Their results indicate that radiant barriers provide significant resistance to heat transfer. Current testing by the Tennessee Valley Authority, Oak Ridge Laboratories in Tennessee, and

the University of Mississippi support those findings. Northeastern Illinois University conducted winter tests in both residential and commercial structures using infra-red thermograph photography. The photos showed significant resistance to heat transfer over the regular insulation.
