Reflective plywood roofing.

Radiant barrier sheathing made up of either plywood or oriented strand board osb with athin layer of aluminum facing on one side is installed to the roof rafters with the aluminumlayer facing down. Weyerhaeuser radiant barrier sheathing rbs comes pre fabricated with a reflective foil layer that reflects up to 97 of the sun s radiant energy minimizing heat transfer through the roof and insulation to interior living spaces. However it is also used in wall systems. Installed in over 1 5 million homes in the united states lp techshield panels also lower attic temperatures up to 30 f.

This radiant barrier plywood is generally used for new roofing applications with the reflective siding facing into the attic space. Thermostat osb radiant barrier sheathing reflects up to 97 of the sun s radiant heat from a home s attic helping reduce temperatures and improve energy efficiency. For pricing and availability. The aluminum is not used for its reflective properties but for its low emittingproperties.

Roofs plywood. As the original 1 brand of radiant barrier sheathing lp techshield panels vaporvents technology prevents moisture buildup during and after construction while blocking up to 97 of radiant heat in roof panels. The warmer these things get the warmer the ceilings get and the harder the air conditioner has to work to cool the house. The goal of a foil backed osb is to cool the air within the top layer of insulation in the attic or wall by emitting the radiant heat absorbed through the roof or exterior walls which reduces the delta t and lessens the overall energy use in a building.

Foil backed osb is applied mostly in attics. Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper. When the sun shines on a roof the plywood or osb oriented strand board sheathing warms up and radiates heat which in turn warms anything solid like rafters joists air handlers and ducts. 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.
