We offer three different versions of RadiantGUARD and while they all reflect almost the same amount of radiant heat, each version differs slighly in reflectivity, durability and feel:
Our CLASSIC radiant barrier reflects 95% of the radiant heat and is recommended for installations that don't require stapling. It is less durable than our other versions.
Our ULTIMA radiant barrier reflects 97% of the radiant heat and is an industrialized reinforced tear-proof aluminum foil radiant barrier that is recommended for installations requiring stapling and for use in highly rugged environments. Because it's made of aluminum, it feels and operates like a traditional aluminum foil.
Our XTREME radiant barrier reflects 95% of the radiant heat and is equally as industrialized as Ultima but is a reinforced tear-proof metalized aluminum poly radiant barrier that can also withstand stapling and rugged environments. It feels and operates like a plastic mylar sheet.
