It’s a lot cooler!
A house protected by Solarbord® radiant barrier sheathing has a head start on comfort. Up to 97% of radiant heat from the sun is reflected by Solarbord, so the attic will be as much as 30° cooler. This means the rest of the house will certainly be cooler too. Cooler attic. Cooler house.
Lower energy costs.
A house kept comfortable by Solarbord is easy on energy bills. And today a house that conserves energy is a whole lot more attractive to home buyers, so the small additional cost of Solarbord for roofs and walls is a good investment.
A cool 25 year warranty.
Solarbord, SFI CoC certified, installs like any roof sheathing and gives builders an extra edge in these energy-conscious times. And because it’s made in the USA and backed by a 25-year warranty, you’ll have total confidence in its quality and durability. Make it the crowning achievement of every build.
