Energy Shield Insulation
Window Replacement

A 5-layer Reflective Energy-Shield Insulation.

It’s two outer layers of 99% aluminum foil reflect 97% of radiant heat. This insulation cuts heating and cooling costs by lowering the amount of heat transferred into a home in the summer and out of a home in the winter. In the summer, heat waves generated by the home’s roof decking are reflected by the Radiant Barrier before they have the opportunity to be absorbed by the ceiling insulation, thereby keeping the home cooler. In the winter, the radiated heat waves from within the home are absorbed by the ceiling and conducted up through the insulation into the attic. In this case, the down-facing side of the Radiant Barrier reflects the radiant heat waves emitted from the insulation back down toward the living area instead of allowing them to simply escape into the attic. This process eliminates heat loss through the ceiling, saving heating costs.

HIGHLY REFLECTIVE

It is non-toxic and does not promote the growth of fungi or bacteria nor does it provide no nesting support for rodent or insects. Works for both new and pre-existing buildings. The material is unaffected by humidity and climate changes so no further maintenance is required upon installation. It is a superior alternative to bulky insulation such as foil-faced bubble wrap.

NEW CONSTRUCTION OR RETROFIT

Double-sided (5ply), tear-proof strongest barrier out there. 99.97% Reflective E Value > Highly reflective to reflect radiant heat rather than absorb it . The Commercial Grade Industrialized Barrier is designed to withstand heavy handling and traffic without tearing, puncturing, or overly wrinkling. Cuts easily with utility knife or scissors so you can install it properly with ease.

ASTM COMPLIANT (Fire Rating)

Meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Class 1 Class A fire and smoke safety requirements of most state and local building codes, as well as the breathability standards for building materials. While primarily used for attic rafters and floors, our radiant foil works well for garages, workshops, storage units, barns, warehouses, and even older multi-storied homes that lack sufficient insulation.



In addition to lowering bills and increasing the comfort level of the home, the improved temperature control achieved by MPC products can potentially extend the life of the home’s heater and air-conditioning unit.

Benefits of having Energy Efficient Windows



ENERGY COST & SAVINGS

Energy Savings Energy efficient windows can substantially reduce the costs associated with heating and cooling. This section on Energy & Cost Savings illustrates these savings in both heating and cooling climates.

LOWER HVAC COSTS

Lower HVAC Costs High-performance windows not only provide reduced annual heating and cooling bills, they also reduce the peak heating and cooling loads. This section on Lower HVAC Cost illustrates how the use of high performance windows can help in reducing HVAC equipment sizing.

IMPROVED COMFORT

Improved Comfort Cold glass can create uncomfortable drafts as air next to the window is cooled and drops to the floor. Also, strong direct sunlight through window onto people and interior surfaces can cause overheating and discomfort. This section on Improved Comfort illustrates how high performance windows, in different climates, help make home more comfortable.

REDUCED CONDENSATION

Reduced Condensation High-performance windows create warmer interior glass surfaces, reducing frost and condensation. This section on Reduced Condensation illustrates the impact of temperature, humidity, and window technologies on condensation.
