Radiant Barrier Installation in Jacksonville, FL

Yes, radiant barriers perform especially well in hot, sunny climates like Jacksonville's. The Florida Solar Energy Center has found that radiant barriers can reduce attic temperatures by 20 to 30 degrees in Florida homes.

No, a radiant barrier works alongside your existing insulation, not instead of it. It handles radiant heat from the roof deck, while your insulation handles the remaining heat transfer.

Yes, radiant barriers can be retrofitted into existing attics across St. Johns County, Clay County, and the rest of our service area. The barrier is installed on the underside of the roof deck rafters during an attic visit.

Not when installed correctly for Florida's humid climate. Proper installation uses perforated material that allows moisture vapor to pass through while still reflecting radiant heat.

A radiant barrier directly addresses the radiant heat coming off the roof deck, which is a common cause of hot upstairs rooms in Nassau County homes. Pairing it with your existing insulation gives your AC system less heat to fight.

Regular insulation slows conductive heat flow, but it does not stop radiant heat radiating down from a hot roof deck. A radiant barrier reflects that radiant energy back toward the roof before it can heat your attic air or living space in Jacksonville.
