Unlock Year-Round Comfort and Savings with Radiant Barrier Roof Installation

Radiant Barriers will provide 20-50% savings on your heating and cooling costs!
Radiant Barrier Attic Rafters
Radiant Barrier reflects 95% of radiant heat. By having Radiant Barrier installed onto the underside of your attic rafters and onto the studs of your exterior-facing attic vertical walls, summer temperatures in your attic will decrease by up to 50° F.
A significantly cooler attic means less heat migration into the living space below which reduces the workload on your HVAC system and your corresponding utility costs. It also alleviates the super-heated thermal envelope surrounding your attic-installed HVAC components which will help them to operate more efficiently and will extend the service life of your HVAC system.
Radiant Barrier on your attic rafters will significantly reduce your home cooling costs.
Attic Radiant Barrier On Floor
Radiant Barrier reflects 95% of radiant heat. By having Attic Radiant Barrier installed onto your attic floor and your interior-facing attic vertical walls, you will significantly reduce the amount of radiant heat migrating into your living space during summer as well as help to trap heated air in your living space during winter.
This reduces the workload of your HVAC system, creates a more comfortable living space, and can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 20-50%, particularly when combined with attic floor air-sealing.
Radiant Barriers will provide 20-50% savings on your heating and cooling costs!
Installing the Radiant Barrier “Combo” will give you the benefits of both standard installation methods.
A Radiant Barrier “Combo” installs Radiant Barrier on the attic rafters, attic floor (over your existing insulation and/or attic floor plywood decking), exterior-facing vertical walls, and interior-facing vertical walls. This combines both of the standard installation methods and the benefits that each of those methods offer:
- Cools the attic (up to 50° F in summer)
- Alleviates the super-heated thermal envelope around your attic-installed HVAC components
- Improves the efficiency and service life of your HVAC system
- Creates a more conducive environment for temperature-sensitive storage in your attic
- Supports efficient attic passive and active ventilation
- Reduces heat migration into the living space in summer
- Helps retain heat in your living space in winter
- Allows for a cleaner attic
Frequently Asked Questions On Radiant Barrier in Raleigh, NC
Radiant Barriers do not have an R-Value. Instead, Radiant Barrier performance is measured by emissivity (same measure as used for Low-E windows) and reflectivity.
Emissivity is the ratio at which a material converts radiant energy to radiant heat. The lower the emissivity, the better it serves as an insulation. TRB’s Radiant Barrier material has an emissivity of 0.05 which means it only allows 5% of radiant energy to convert into radiant heat.
The reflectivity of a Radiant Barrier is a measure of how much the material will reflect radiant energy and heat. TRB’s Radiant Barrier provides 95% reflectivity. In summer, it will block 95% of your attic’s radiant energy and heat from impacting your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
Radiant Barrier can cause moisture issues if not installed properly or the wrong material is used. When installing a Radiant Barrier in the attic, a \"perforated\" product that meets or exceeds ASTM standards should be used.
In a humid climate, it is imperative that the attic floor utility penetrations be properly air sealed with foam spray or similar material. This will not only greatly increase the energy efficiency of the home, but will prevent cold, conditioned air from the living space to mingle with hot, humid air in the attic.
Installing a non-perforated Radiant Barrier may lead to moisture or condensation issues.
Moisture and condensation will not be concerns, however, with properly installed and perforated Radiant Barrier combined with effective air sealing.
There are several contributing factors to determine a savings percentage: age / condition of your HVAC system, proper attic ventilation, seals around your doors and windows etc. If those are adequate or better, the energy savings resulting from a Radiant Barrier insulation is typically 25%-45% on heating and cooling costs.
Radiant Barrier is much more effective against summer heat than fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass works like sponge, absorbing and trying to hold on to heat. But, like a sponge, it can become saturated…in this case, with heat. Once it is saturated, the remaining heat will pass through as if it wasn’t there.
Radiant Barrier does not absorb but reflects heat and is also a barrier that does not allow radiant energy to convert into additional radiant heat. TRB’s Radiant Barrier blocks 95% of radiant heat, the primary heat in your attic in summer, from impacting your living space which will provide for optimal increases in home comfort and energy efficiency.

Customer reviews
Outstanding service and product experience. Was very informative throughout the job and exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.
These guys were professional commented the work fast, had high quality products, left everything sparkling clean, and had the best price of the 5 companies I interviewed
We shopped around for someone to encapsulate our crawlspace and install a dehumidifier and TRB was by far the best we looked at. Best quality, best interaction, cheapest, most thorough.
The initial inspection was so thorough, and they gave a very comprehensive quote (with pictures, additional optional add-ons, and a half hour zoom meeting to explain all the processes). Great for us new homeowners. The crew showed up on time, was efficient, courteous, and done early.
They were thousands of dollars cheaper than the competitor, even with the add-ons. (We added mold removal, and a dividing wall built under our porch too). By no means did they try to upsell us, like all the other contractors we had quoted before.
They genuinely cared about us as customers, and the work that they did. Out of all the contractors we've had work on our house these were absolutely the best. Wish we could hire them for more than just our crawlspace!

Our experience with TRB was truly phenomenal. We spoke with multiple companies before choosing TRB. The TRB staff that came to our home were wonderfully professional and demonstrated a deep knowledge of the options that would be best for our home. The installation crew was very respectful of the space and worked impressively efficiently. We are very please with the work.
Amazing service, very professional and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.
Incredible work ethic; the entire team did a superlative job!
We recently had our crawlspace encapsulated, some mold remediation and a dehumidifier installed. We were impressed from the moment Triangle Remediation came out to assess our situation. The assessment was thorough and pointed out a few areas that needed remediation (including a leak we were not aware of). It wasn't a hard sales pitch but rather they provided options and suggestions.
We were super impressed with Jason and his crew who did the work. they communicated through every step of the process and the crawlspace now looks amazing and the humidity is under control.
These days it is rare to find reliable service providers and even more rare to see the professionalism and pride in the people doing the work. Kudos to the Triangle Radiant Barrier team.
I would strongly recommend their services. Their pricing is fair, communication outstanding and quality of work excellent.

We just had our first experience with Triangle Radiant Barrier. We are very pleased with the entire process. We have been kept informed throughout the entire process. Today they installed our new vapor barrier in our crawl space. The installer Jason and his partner showed up ahead of schedule. They introduced themselves and told us they were available to answer any questions throughout the installation process. They completed their work in a timely manner. They cleaned up before they left. They truly exhibited all of the qualities that you look for when paying for services!!! I would highly recommend them as well as their company Triangle Radiant Barrier whenever you need crawl space work done
Triangle Radiant Barrier did a great job on my crawlspace. From estimate to completion, great communication. Levonne, Donta and Gio's installation work was really professional. Thanks

They did my crawl space encapsulation. Josh and Robert worked quickly and keep me appraised throughout the job. Did an excellent job cleaning up too.
We contacted Triangle Radiant Barrier about crawlspace encapsulation. From the first conversation with Shannon to the final walk through, everyone at TRB was polite, professional, helpful, and friendly. We were kept informed during the entire process and everyone was happy to answer all of our questions. We will recommend TRB to any of our family or friends. The entire team was a pleasure to work with.
TRB did a wonderful job! Very very professional and no hidden costs. A well run company focused on complete customer satisfation and optimal results. I am super pleased!
This is an excellent company that provided a professional service in replacing the moisture barrier in my crawl space. The owners were easy to deal with without any pressure or aggressive upselling. The installation performed by Dante was top notch! He was professional, friendly, provided great communication throughout the process and the end result was worth every penny. I can actually go down into my crawl space now without feeling dirty and nasty. I highly recommend Triangle Radiant Barrier!
These folks were one of the best group of people I've ever dealt with. From the first visit, where everything was explained in detail, to the days the work was done, the entire crew was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. The work was done to perfection and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. It's so refreshing to deal with people who know what they're taking about and can explain things clearly.
I couldn't recommend Triangle Radiant Barrier any more enthusiastically than this. Great experience!!!

We've used them a couple times now, both for our attic, and the crawl space, and they do excellent work at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them!
Triangle Radiant Barrier didn't just install a dehumidifier in our crawlspace, I feel they gave us our house back. The problem: Unbeknownst to us, the hot water heater in our crawlspace had been leaking for days or weeks until it finally blew up. Because the crawlspace is sealed, all that hot, humid water got trapped. The humidity level down there rose to above 80% and stayed there. It was only a matter of time before mold would grow. But that's not all. There was a musty smell inside the house that we attributed to the humidity. Triangle Radiant Barrier concluded that (TMI alert) the main culprit was mouse urine in the crawlspace. With incredible speed, Triangle Radiant Barrier took care of everything -- dehumidifier installation, electrical work, crawlspace cleaning. And their communication was simply incredible. They kept me apprised every step of the way. I have very high standards for service providers, and this company -- referred to me by a friend -- somehow managed to exceed them.
I was recommended by my brother-in-law and needless to say, I was not disappointed! The whole team was quick, professional, and very informative, walking me through every step of my crawlspace renovation. I will be recommending them to anyone that needs their crawlspace taken care of!
Shannon, Brock, Brian, Charlie and Robert were all quick, efficient and very communicative throughout the whole process of getting our attic up to snuff with an insulated barrier. I will recommend the company to friends in future!
After speaking to several other companies about having my crawlspace encapsulated, I selected Triangle Radiant for the job.
From the start to finish everyone was responsive, courteous and professional. They explained the process and the work to be done. The Pricing was very reasonable. The Job was scheduled, and the workers arrived on time and the job was finished in several days. After completion Quality control came and we examined the job to make sure everything was done.
All in all a job well done.
Thanks Joe S. Fuquay Varina

Jason, Robert and the whole team did an excellent job on my attic. They were all professional and they did exactly what I wanted them to do. I greatly appreciated their hard work.
Honest, thorough, on-time, and understanding. This was one of the best experiences plus the price was in line with the work. Very competitive.
I am very happy with the crawl space encapsulation work done by the pros at Triangle Radient Barrier. The work was done in only two days, but the improvement was immediately noticeable. I was also pleased with the quality of their work and its affordability. I whole heartedly recommend Triangle Radient Barrier!
We had an excellent experience with Triangle Radiant Barrier! The process was quick a from start to finish. Someone came out to our house the next day for a quote after I reached out, and our insulation was done the next week. The install crew was professional, polite, and efficient. We will definitely be using the company in the future if we ever need them.
RTB came to my home to restore the crawlspace including installing new 10 millimeters vapor barrier. New insulation, etc.
Took them about four hours. A two man crew. Jason the lead was outstanding. As was his helper.
I’m very pleased with the results. And I have not even had the final inspection yet.
If you need crawlspace upgrading or mold remediation etc, Research Triangle Barrier is the only choice.
