Radiant osb roofing.

With no barrier to restrict the heat it radiates through the insulation into living spaces causing room temperatures to rise. This reflection insulation also has high mechanical properties making it perfect for load bearing applications in construction. Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths. In order to block the radiant energy from your hot roofing materials the foil side of solarbord must face the attic space.

Edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion and water related issues that can lead to call backs. How weyerhaeuser rbs works. Unlike insulation like fiberglass or foam neither radiant barriers nor the roofing materials hold radiant heat.

More energy is needed to cool the house and that means higher energy costs for homeowners. Solarbord must not be installed with foil side in contact with the roofing materials. The high purity aluminum 99 laminated on solarbord requires an air space in order to provide radiant thermal shield benefits. 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.

Super moisture resistance patented vaporvents technology allows any trapped moisture to escape from the panels during and after installation. Helps block radiant heat in the roof panel from emitting into the home s attic reducing attic temperatures by up to 30º f. Product overview the osb techshield radiant barrier osb is engineered to improve energy efficiency. It reduces attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees fahrenheit and it blocks up to 97 of radiant heat.

No core voids knots or splits. Foil backed osb is applied mostly in attics. However it is also used in wall systems. Strong and uniform consistency throughout.

Span and exposure rated sheathing with dimensional stability. Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper. 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. Quality base layer for wall and roof sheathing applications.

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