Radiant Barrier Insulation

Radiant barrier insulation is a reflective material designed to reduce heat transfer from the sun. Installed primarily in attics, it reflects radiant heat away from the home instead of absorbing it. Phoenix Family Insulation uses high-quality radiant barriers ideal for combating Arizona’s extreme temperatures.

Phoenix experiences some of the hottest summers in the country, with attic temperatures easily exceeding 150°F. A radiant barrier significantly reduces attic heat buildup, helping your cooling system work more efficiently and keeping indoor temperatures more stable.

Radiant barriers reflect up to 97% of radiant heat from the sun. By preventing heat from entering the attic, the home stays cooler, the HVAC system runs less often, and energy consumption decreases—especially during summer peak hours.
