Radiant Osb Roofing

Quality base layer for wall and roof sheathing applications.

Radiant osb roofing.

Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper. How weyerhaeuser rbs works.

Oriented strand board isn t plywood nor is it a type of particleboard fiberboard or wafer board and although it is a newcomer to a plywood dominated market its use for exterior sheathing is. Foil backed osb is applied mostly in attics. Strong and uniform consistency throughout. The high purity aluminum 99 laminated on solarbord requires an air space in order to provide radiant thermal shield benefits.

No core voids knots or splits. Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths. Oriented strand board osb with a thin layer of low emitting aluminum foil attached to one side is a common type of thermal radiant barrier sheathing. However it is also used in wall systems.

Edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion and water related issues that can lead to call backs. Click to add item lp prostruct 7 16 x 4 x 8 roof sheathing with silvertech to the compare list. Radiant energy transferred through standard roof sheathing creates heat build up in the attic. With no barrier to restrict the heat it radiates through the insulation into living spaces causing room temperatures to rise.

The most effective radiant barrier sheathing is a structural roof sheathing panel which consists of an osb panel with heat reflecting foil laminated to one side. Super moisture resistance patented vaporvents technology allows any trapped moisture to escape from the panels during and after installation. The radiant barrier reflects 95 of the radiant heat back to the roofing materials which then emits over 90 of the heat out the roof almost instantly. This reflection insulation also has high mechanical properties making it perfect for load bearing applications in construction.

In order to block the radiant energy from your hot roofing materials the foil side of solarbord must face the attic space. Product overview the osb techshield radiant barrier osb is engineered to improve energy efficiency. More energy is needed to cool the house and that means higher energy costs for homeowners. Solarbord must not be installed with foil side in contact with the roofing materials.

Unlike insulation like fiberglass or foam neither radiant barriers nor the roofing materials hold radiant heat.
