eShield™: The New Attic Energy Barrier Insulation System – Innovative and Environmentally-Friendly Reflective Foil Insulation

Vice President Biden talks about green jobs and energy savings! Click here for a video of the conference.

A revolutionary new type of insulation, the eShield™ Attic Energy Barrier is unlike any other product on the market today. Boasting state-of-the-art technology that stops 97% of radiant energy transfer, eShield™ is the most cost-effective way to lower heating and cooling bills. Traditional insulation simply cannot match its resistance to this type of heat transfer. In fact, U.S. Department of Energy tests have shown that adding eShield™ attic energy barrier insulation to existing insulation provides more energy savings than adding 12 more inches of fiberglass insulation.

Because it works with existing house insulation, rather than replacing it, eShield™ is also a very environmentally-friendly type of insulation and is perfectly suited for “greenovations.” Approved by the Department of Energy, eShield™ is Energy Star ® approved and qualifies for the energy tax credits. To better serve environmentally-conscious homeowners, Just Exteriors Plus is an eShield™ certified dealer.

Cut Your Utility Bill – eShield™ House Insulation Does What Other Types Can’t

In the insulation industry, there is a lot of talk about R-values, which measure resistance to convection and conduction. The idea is that the higher the R-value, the better the insulation. However, this perception ignores the importance of E-value, which is a measure of the material’s (resistance to emission), the main way homes lose energy. Without protection against all three types of heat transfer – convection, conduction, and emission – your home will continue to lose energy, and your power bill will continue to rise.

eShield™ attic barrier insulation is based on the same advanced technology and design as a space suit – it reflects radiant heat. In this way, this new insulation is able to protect homes from the sun’s searing rays during summer and retain interior warmth during winter, dramatically reducing energy consumption year-round.

Attic Insulation Isn’t Complete Without eShield™

Did you know that attics are the top culprits when it comes to heat loss in your home? Although many homes have fiberglass or another type of attic insulation, they still don’t protect you completely from the outside temperature – or from high energy bills. One cause for expensive power bills that many homeowners don’t consider is depleted R-value. As insulation ages, its ability to resist heat decreases along with its effectiveness. In addition, insulation that’s been subject to moisture or has compressed over time does not provide its labeled R-value. So, unless you’ve updated your building's attic insulation recently, you probably don’t have as much protection as you think you do.

Another reason for energy loss through the attic is emission, or radiant heat transfer, which is essentially the transfer of heat through empty space, rather than by direct contact. If you’ve ever felt the warmth of the sun on your face, then you’ve experienced heat transfer by emission. Adding attic insulation such as fiberglass or cellulose doesn’t fully address this type of transfer because they protect mostly against convection and conduction, two other types of heat transfer.

Your roof is constantly subject to the heat of the sun during summer and the cold of the rain, snow, and winds during winter, making it very difficult to keep heat from flowing between the inside and out. After a certain point, regular insulation simply can’t absorb any more heat, rendering it basically useless. Rather than absorb the heat and hold it, eShield™ actually reflects it, helping you keep the temperature of your home independent from the outside environment. By addressing all three types of energy transfer, your attic insulation can help lower your utility bills and keep your family cozy.
