Frequently Asked Questions On Radiant Barrier in Raleigh, NC
Fiberglass insulation is designed to counter conductive heat transfer by absorbing and holding onto heat. In winter, the heated air from your furnace moves upwards, being more buoyant than colder air. Your fiberglass insulation in your attic is helpful in slowing the heat’s movement. The heat does not migrate downward, so there’s no heat for the fiberglass insulation to absorb, making it ineffective. It is also important to note that fiberglass insulation does not air seal the surface it is insulating, which means that any gaps in the surface (e.g. from utility penetrations in your subfloor) will allow cold air from your vented crawl space to migrate upward to your living space."
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.
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.
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.

Customer reviews
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!
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.
I couldn't recommend Triangle Radiant Barrier any more enthusiastically than this. Great experience!!!
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
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.
