In addition to blocking 97% of radiant heat transfer, concerns for trapping moisture are greatly diminished; SuperPerf will also help reduce ice damming while being easy to install in existing homes.
DALLAS, TX, January 21, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- AtticFoil.com, the number one manufacturer and distributor choice for radiant barrier foil to installing contractors and DIY homeowners, recently announced a new product. SuperPerf joins AtticFoil.com's other radiant barrier products and is specifically designed to be installed directly over attic insulation in cold or mixed climates.
"Any choice for radiant barrier should be a perforated product," says AtticFoil.com president and owner Ed Fritz. "Using a perforated foil allows water vapor to pass from the home through the attic insulation and the foil, and head toward the exhaust vents so the attic can dry properly. The new SuperPerf foil has larger perforations for even better drying potential."
All radiant barrier products work by blocking radiant heat from being absorbed into homes, garages, barns, etc., resulting in a more comfortable and energy efficient space.
Fritz says SuperPerf is a customer-driven initiative. "We were asked to create a product that offered the same heat blocking qualities as our original product, while offering a higher ability to allow moisture to pass through. This is a concern from customers in consistently cold climate areas. SuperPerf is the result of our efforts to meet that need."
SuperPerf is punch-perforated foil (versus the traditional pin-perforated), which allows for greater water vapor transmission. "It will be virtually impossible to trap moisture under the product on the attic floor," says Fritz. "In addition to blocking 97% of radiant heat transfer, concerns for trapping moisture are greatly diminished; SuperPerf will also help reduce ice damming while being easy to install in existing homes."
