How Radiant Barrier Chips Work
Infrared heat (IR), from the sun is first absorbed by your roof which then re-emits this heat downward towards your insulation.
Traveling at 186,000 miles per second, (speed of light), infra red heat is absorbed by the fibrous attic insulation which
eventually passes it on through conduction to the ceiling. This raises energy costs, wastes resources, decreases comfort
and wears out the most expensive appliance on your home.
Several layers of a low emissivity surface that face each other is the only true radiant barrier. This is why
our patented products perform so well and also why they belong in the walls and above the ceilings of every building in any
climate. The more extreme the weather, the higher the savings.
Nothing else makes "cents".
Radiant Barrier Chips are installed over your existing
attic insulation. Never add insulation again and enjoy a home with even temperatures all over. Helps control hot and cold
spots.
The question is a simple one: Resist the flow of heat or change the direction?
Conventional fibrous insulation products have a "R" rating for resistance to heat movement. This movement of heat
is costly and can make your home feel uncomfortable.
RBS Chips are simple to install, unaffected by dust, and carry a lifetime, transferable performance warranty. Order today!
The sooner they are up there more you will save. With energy costs rising and enviromental concerns about hydrocarbon reduction,
this investment actually becomes more valuable over time.
Physics dictates heat always moves from hot to cold. Further, the greater the difference of heat (delta T), the faster heat
will move.
In cold climates the outdoor temp can dip to -20f or more while inside the furnance is trying to maintain a comfortable 75f.
With a delta T of 95f, heat is moving very quickly, so is the gas meter.
A layer of RBS Chips over your attic insulation keeps the insulation from radiating the heat from your house to the cold roof.
This effect warms the insulation which in turn raises the ceiling temperature. The result? You are more comfortable and
your energy costs go down. Sprinkling RBS Chips on the palm of your hand illustrates this effect and within seconds you will
be able to feel your body heat being reflected back to your hand. Order a sample today and see for yourself how they work.

Installation of Chips basically involves blowing a cloud of silver into
the air and letting it cover the insulation like big snowflakes.
Once covered, move to a different area and repeat until the insulation is no longer visible
Use the same precautionary measures as conventional blown insulation products. Protect recessed lighting fixtures and keep
appliance venting from getting blocked.
