Managing radiant heat in a sun-exposed Miami home.
South Florida gets plenty of sun, and part of that heat reaches a home as radiant heat through the roof and walls. Reflective foil insulation can help reduce radiant heat transfer when it is installed in a suitable assembly with the required air space. We look at the whole space before suggesting where, or whether, it belongs.
The full foil insulation guideGarages
A garage that holds the afternoon heat can be a candidate, provided the assembly allows the air space the product needs.
Alongside other insulation
Foil complements, rather than replaces, materials that slow heat flow, such as blown-in, batt or foam insulation.
WHEN TO CONSIDER IT
Comparing reflective products for an attic or garage?
A reflective product only does its job as part of the right assembly. The direction it faces, the air space beside it and the insulation that stays in place all matter. Tell us where the heat is a problem, whether that is the attic, a garage or a wall, and what other work is planned, so we can explain how foil would fit.
What your Miami estimate should cover
- The reflective product and its exact location
- Where the required air space comes from
- Which other insulation stays, is removed or is added
- The heat-transfer concern the foil is meant to address
YOUR PROJECT, STEP BY STEP
From the first call
to installation day.
Find where the heat comes in
We ask when and where the space gets hot, then look at the attic, garage or wall and the insulation already in place.
Plan the assembly
We explain the product, its position and the air space it needs, and how it works with the rest of the insulation.
Install as specified
The reflective layer is installed as part of the agreed assembly, and we confirm the role it plays in the overall plan.
THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER
Miami questions,
straight answers.
Is foil enough on its own for a Miami attic?
Usually it is one part of the plan. Reflective insulation addresses radiant heat, while foam, batts and loose-fill slow heat flow through the assembly. The right combination depends on the space.
Can foil go in my garage?
Possibly. It depends on the product and whether the garage assembly can provide the air space it needs. The inspection shows whether that arrangement is practical.
Should I choose foil or more blown-in insulation?
They address different kinds of heat transfer, so it is not always one or the other. We look at the existing attic insulation and the roof assembly before suggesting either or both.
What makes a foil installation work properly?
Its position, the direction it faces and the air space beside it. Ask how the proposed installation achieves those, rather than judging a product by its shiny surface.
