Attic
Much of the heat entering your home comes
through the roof. Adding TempShield™ in your attic
helps to keep your house cooler in the summer. TempShield™ is an ideal radiant barrier to supplement the
insulation already in your attic. Consider our 16" or 24"
on-center rolls when insulating your attic.
Insulation
Choices
 |
TempShield™
attic application with a turbine or gable
vent. A 3" gap along the ridge pole and at the
base of the rafters (soffit) ensures enough air flow
between TempShield™ and the roof deck. This
applies to all vent systems other than soffit and
ridge. |

Installation
- Carefully read over the Helpful Tips before starting.
- Check the area you are insulating and make any needed
repairs before installing TempShield™.
- Unroll the TempShield™ as you work, and cut it
to suitable lengths with scissors or utility knife.
- Allow for proper ventilation. See note below on
ventilation.
- Staple TempShield™ to the undersides of
exposed rafters or between the rafters, if you have
trusses.
Ventilation:
Good ventilation in your attic increases your
comfort and helps the materials of your house last longer. Be
sure not to block ventilation paths when you install TempShield™.
