Radiant Osb Roofing

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.

Radiant osb roofing. Product overview the osb techshield radiant barrier osb is engineered to improve energy efficiency. Foil backed osb is applied mostly in attics. Helps block radiant heat in the roof panel from emitting into the home s attic reducing attic temperatures by up to 30º f. No core voids knots or splits.

Radiant energy transferred through standard roof sheathing creates heat build up in the attic. Unlike insulation like fiberglass or foam neither radiant barriers nor the roofing materials hold radiant heat.

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

Span and exposure rated sheathing with dimensional stability. Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths. The high purity aluminum 99 laminated on solarbord requires an air space in order to provide radiant thermal shield benefits. Oriented strand board osb with a thin layer of low emitting aluminum foil attached to one side is a common type of thermal radiant barrier sheathing.

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.
