Death to high energy bills, not installers

Monday, April 25, 2011 by Universal Forest Products

When proclaiming jihad on air conditioning bills don’t count yourself or your installer among the victims. Attic roof temperatures can reach 155 degrees on a hot, sunny day. And human can only stand these temps for a very short time, especially when combined with any type of exertion.

Each summer there are reports of heat stroke and even deaths suffered from exposure to extremely high temps in attics. So either wait for a cloudy day or do the work early in the morning, before the temps become unbearable. One thing is for sure, once the Enerflex Radiant Barrier has been installed those attic temps will forever be lower.

Here are a few simple radiant foil barrier installation tips to help you stay safe while working in an attic:

  • Place fans in attic for ventilation
  • Install radiant barier in the early morning
  • Stay hydrated
  • Take a break every hour (or as needed)
