Radiant Barrier Roof Sheathing Osb

Osb oriented strand board blue ribbon osb the procurement of all blue ribbon osb is certified by the sustainable forestry initiative.

Radiant barrier roof sheathing osb.

Installed in over 1 5 million homes in the united states lp techshield panels also lower attic temperatures up to 30 f. Roofs with radiant barrier have the potential to lower the temp at night because the radiant barrier prevented the heat loss that would typically occur from the traditional mass insulation on the attic floor rising to heat the roof. As the original 1 brand of radiant barrier sheathing lp techshield panels vaporvents technology prevents moisture buildup during and after construction while blocking up to 97 of radiant heat in roof panels. This reflection insulation also has high mechanical properties making it perfect for load bearing applications in construction.

Oriented strand board rbs radiant barrier sheathing weyerhaeuser radiant barrier sheathing rbs comes pre fabricated with a reflective foil layer that reflects up to 97 of the sun s radiant energy minimizing heat transfer through the roof and insulation to interior living spaces. Product overview the osb techshield radiant barrier osb is engineered to improve energy efficiency. The goal of a foil backed osb is to cool the air within the top layer of insulation in the attic or wall by emitting the radiant heat absorbed through the roof or exterior walls which reduces the delta t and lessens the overall energy use in a building. It reduces attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees fahrenheit and it blocks up to 97 of radiant heat.

This improved energy efficiency makes thermostat radiant barrier the ideal choice for new homes additions and renovations in warm to hot climates. Thermostat radiant barrier sheathing reflects up to 97 of the sun s radiant heat from a home s attic and can help lower attic temperatures by up to 30 f. This means radiant barrier can increase the life of the roof shingles. However it is also used in wall systems.

Thermostat radiant barrier sheathing is available with 2 different substrates. Oriented strand board osb with a thin layer of low emitting aluminum foil attached to one side is a common type of thermal radiant barrier sheathing. The osb variety is available in 7 16 or 19 32 thick 4 x8 sheets. The most effective radiant barrier sheathing is a structural roof sheathing panel which consists of an osb panel with heat reflecting foil laminated to one side.
