Does radiant barrier foil work in the winter?

Yes. Double-sided radiant barrier has year-round benefits. It helps reduce heat loss in your home (through your attic). Because warm air rises, radiant barrier foil installed in your attic will help prevent heat from escaping.

Enerflex Radiant Barrier (made of Class A fire-rated, double-sided metalized film) helps provide a more consistent, comfortable, indoor temperature. And because nearly 75% of heat loss that occurs in the winter is radiant heat, the addition of a radiant barrier is an effective way to reduce winter heating bills.

New energy-saving home improvement products, like Energy Star certified Enerflex Radiant Barrier, are easy for homeowners to install themselves, then quickly realize reduced monthly energy bills. The product is unique in that one person can install it (see video) without the need for tools, as it flexes into place between the rafters in an attic.

It is also important to seal all air leaks within your home and to have the proper amount of insulation installed in your attic to block the cold air from entering. Be sure to determine what R-Value your attic needs based on where you live. Refer to this R-Value Recommendation chart.
