radiant barrier roof panels are the fastest way to beat heat and moisture.
These easy-to-install, all-in-one structural panels feature a built-in water resistive layer
along with a new radiant barrier.
Reduces radiant heat transfer as much as 97%
Decreases attic temperatures up to 30°
Reduces home cooling costs up to 12%

A FASTER, STRONGER RADIANT BARRIER SOLUTION.
* The Florida Solar Energy Center/University of Central Florida Publication #FSEC EN-15-87 titled “Radiant Barriers: A Question & Answer Primer.” Studies represent cases in the
Southeast and may not be representative of other regions. Savings also depend on the amount of heat the roof and attic contribute to a homes cooling load.

*** When used with ZIP System
™
flashing tape.
Although all projects are unique, experience has shown that 1 roll of 3 3/4" ZIP System
™
flashing tape is needed for approximately 7 sheets of 4' x 8' ZIP System
®
sheathing. This should
only be considered a general “rule of thumb” when ordering materials with the understanding that some jobs may require more or less depending on the specific project.
