Heatbloc Ultra Radiant Barrier Blocks 82% of Radiant Heat Keeping Your Sarasota Attic Cooler

Have you ever noticed how the sun can damage a car's dashboard or leather seats? That damage is caused by severe radiant heat. When the sun’s rays hit an object, they create radiant heat, which can be so intense it feels like a burn if you touch a leather seat in a car that’s been sitting under the sun. This same principle applies to your home, especially in the attic and especially in the hot climates like Sarasota, FL. When sunlight hits your roof, it generates radiant heat inside your attic, often making it unbearably hot.

​

Think about how much cooler your car is when parked under a tree, in a garage, or when you use a foil-like windshield cover. This is exactly what a radiant barrier does for your home. Installing a radiant barrier in your attic is like giving your house a "sunshade" that reflects away the radiant heat, helping your attic—and therefore your home—stay cooler.

​

When your attic remains cooler, your air conditioning system doesn't have to work as hard, which saves you money and prolongs the life of your HVAC system. Radiant barriers are an excellent way to lower your energy bills and enhance the comfort of your home. 

​

We exclusively use Heat Bloc Ultra for our radiant barrier installations. This top-of-the-line product has the lowest emissivity factor of all spray-applied radiant barriers, at just 0.18. Our radiant barrier is applied directly to the underside of your roof decking and any gable ends, forming a thin, effective barrier that reflects over 82% of potential heat transfer into your Florida attic. Heat Bloc Ultra works like a shade tree for your home, is a liquid-applied breathable film, and does not retain moisture. Since it’s non-conductive, it won’t interfere with attic-mounted antennas or cell phone reception.
