Radiant Osb Roofing

However it is also used in wall systems.

Radiant osb roofing.

Quality base layer for wall and roof sheathing applications. Helps block radiant heat in the roof panel from emitting into the home s attic reducing attic temperatures by up to 30º f. Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper. 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.

Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths. More energy is needed to cool the house and that means higher energy costs for homeowners. Oriented strand board isn t plywood nor is it a type of particleboard fiberboard or wafer board and although it is a newcomer to a plywood dominated market its use for exterior sheathing is. Unlike insulation like fiberglass or foam neither radiant barriers nor the roofing materials hold radiant heat.

The high purity aluminum 99 laminated on solarbord requires an air space in order to provide radiant thermal shield benefits. Strong and uniform consistency throughout. This reflection insulation also has high mechanical properties making it perfect for load bearing applications in construction. With no barrier to restrict the heat it radiates through the insulation into living spaces causing room temperatures to rise.

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. Edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion and water related issues that can lead to call backs. Compare click to add item 7 16 x 4 x 145 1 8 osb oversized wall sheathing to the compare list. In order to block the radiant energy from your hot roofing materials the foil side of solarbord must face the attic space.

Super moisture resistance patented vaporvents technology allows any trapped moisture to escape from the panels during and after installation. Solarbord must not be installed with foil side in contact with the roofing materials. No core voids knots or splits. Span and exposure rated sheathing with dimensional stability.

Click to add item lp prostruct 7 16 x 4 x 8 roof sheathing with silvertech to the compare list. It reduces attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees fahrenheit and it blocks up to 97 of radiant heat. Add to list click to add item 7 16 x 4 x 145 1 8 osb oversized wall sheathing to your list. The radiant barrier reflects 95 of the radiant heat back to the roofing materials which then emits over 90 of the heat out the roof almost instantly.

Radiant energy transferred through standard roof sheathing creates heat build up in the attic.
