Related QuestionsHow can aluminum roofing keep my house cooler in the Summer and warmer in the Winter?
Aluminum Roof Industries, Inc.Heat is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation. Insulation does not stop radiant heat, it takes a radiant heat barrier, such as aluminum, to do this. Common roofing materials such as asphalt, wood, and slate, can allow up to 90% of all radiant heat to pass through them, causing significant attic heat gain. Aluminum which has a low emissivity value, and can reflect as much as 95% of heat rays, is an excellent barrier to radiant heat.
