Radiant Osb Roofing

In order to block the radiant energy from your hot roofing materials the foil side of solarbord must face the attic space.

Radiant osb roofing.

Helps block radiant heat in the roof panel from emitting into the home s attic reducing attic temperatures by up to 30º f. Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths. 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.

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.

Edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion and water related issues that can lead to call backs.

Solarbord must not be installed with foil side in contact with the roofing materials. Unlike insulation like fiberglass or foam neither radiant barriers nor the roofing materials hold radiant heat. However it is also used in wall systems. This reflection insulation also has high mechanical properties making it perfect for load bearing applications in construction.

With no barrier to restrict the heat it radiates through the insulation into living spaces causing room temperatures to rise. Strong and uniform consistency throughout. Radiant energy transferred through standard roof sheathing creates heat build up in the attic. Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper.

The high purity aluminum 99 laminated on solarbord requires an air space in order to provide radiant thermal shield benefits. Product overview the osb techshield radiant barrier osb is engineered to improve energy efficiency.

Quality base layer for wall and roof sheathing applications. 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. How weyerhaeuser rbs works.

The radiant barrier reflects 95 of the radiant heat back to the roofing materials which then emits over 90 of the heat out the roof almost instantly.
