Radiant Osb Roofing

Oriented strand board osb with a thin layer of low emitting aluminum foil attached to one side is a common type of thermal radiant barrier sheathing.

Radiant osb roofing.

Radiant energy transferred through standard roof sheathing creates heat build up in the attic. The high purity aluminum 99 laminated on solarbord requires an air space in order to provide radiant thermal shield benefits. No core voids knots or splits. This reflection insulation also has high mechanical properties making it perfect for load bearing applications in construction.

Strong and uniform consistency throughout. Unlike insulation like fiberglass or foam neither radiant barriers nor the roofing materials hold radiant heat. Quality base layer for wall and roof sheathing applications. Span and exposure rated sheathing with dimensional stability.

Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper.

Helps block radiant heat in the roof panel from emitting into the home s attic reducing attic temperatures by up to 30º f.

Edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion and water related issues that can lead to call backs. The radiant barrier reflects 95 of the radiant heat back to the roofing materials which then emits over 90 of the heat out the roof almost instantly. Solarbord must not be installed with foil side in contact with the roofing materials. Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths.

More energy is needed to cool the house and that means higher energy costs for homeowners. Super moisture resistance patented vaporvents technology allows any trapped moisture to escape from the panels during and after installation. The most effective radiant barrier sheathing is a structural roof sheathing panel which consists of an osb panel with heat reflecting foil laminated to one side. Foil backed osb is applied mostly in attics.

With no barrier to restrict the heat it radiates through the insulation into living spaces causing room temperatures to rise.
