Residential Applications:

Solarguard is an ideal product for use in a multitude of residential applications. It is ideally suited to be used in attic applications below the roof deck in both new construction and retrofit. Solarguard will reduce heat gain in the attic area on a hot summer day thereby reducing the temperature differential between the attic area and the occupied space below. The lower temperature differential will reduce the cooling load and will help keep the occupied space more comfortable. In this application Solarguard is not designed to replace traditional fiberglass batts or blown insulation, but rather to be used in conjunction with these other effective types of insulation. In the winter the reflective foil interior face of the Solarguard material will reflect escaping heat back towards the occupied space below, reducing overall heat loss and lowering heating bills.

Solarguard can also be used in sidewalls, crawl spaces, cathedral ceilings and below floors. It is available in wide rolls at 48” or 72” wide for stapling across the face of framing members or in narrow widths at nominal 16” or 24” wide for stapling between framing members.

Remember, fiberglass alone addresses only two of the three modes of heat transfer – convection and conduction. Solarguard addresses all three modes – convection, conduction and radiation.
