Conclusions

Low - E is a reflective Insulation that works to keep your house or building cool in the summer by reflecting the rays from the sun and warm in the winter by reflecting the heat produced in your home. As a result this keeps your home or building much warmer for a lot less.

Low - E reduces your energy cost by fitting it over existing insulation. It is ideal to use in new or old buildings, has a built in vapour barrier and is environmentally friendly. Protection is not even needed when fitting Low - E Reflective Insulation. When fitting Low - E Reflective Insulation always leave an air space between it to allow it to reflect.

From looking through our Website you will have seen that the earth is heated by the sun through radiant heat. When heating your home or building radiant heat accounts for 50 - 70% of total heat produced, the rest being through conduction at 5 - 7% and convection of up to 45%. The only way that radiant heat can be contained is through the use of reflective material. Low - E is a reflective material which also helps to prevent heat loss through convection and conduction.
