RADIANT BARRIER INSTALLATION
Block radiant heat before it enters your attic. Radiant barriers reflect up to 97% of radiant heat, keeping your attic dramatically cooler and reducing air conditioning costs in Florida's intense sun.
Expert Radiant Barrier Installation Services in Lake County
Radiant barriers work differently than insulation. While insulation resists heat transfer through conduction, radiant barriers reflect radiant heat—the heat that radiates from your sun-baked roof into your attic. In Florida's climate, this radiant heat is a major source of cooling load.
A properly installed radiant barrier can reduce attic temperatures by 20-30°F on hot days. This means less heat radiating into your living space, lower air conditioning costs, and improved comfort—particularly in rooms directly below the attic.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install radiant barriers as part of comprehensive attic energy improvements. Combined with proper insulation and ventilation, radiant barriers maximize your home's energy efficiency.
Why Radiant Barriers Matter in Florida
Florida's intense sun creates extreme radiant heat. On summer days, your roof surface can reach 150-170°F. Much of that heat radiates down into your attic, then through insulation into your living space.
Radiant barriers reflect this heat before it enters. The reflective surface bounces up to 97% of radiant heat back toward the roof, preventing it from heating your attic in the first place. This is fundamentally different from insulation, which only slows heat transfer.
Combined benefits multiply savings. Radiant barriers work synergistically with insulation and ventilation. Cooler attics mean insulation works more effectively and less heat transfers into your home. The combination delivers greater savings than any single improvement alone.

What Our Customers Say
"Added radiant barrier with our insulation upgrade. The attic went from unbearably hot to merely warm on summer afternoons. Our upstairs rooms are so much more comfortable now."
"PSS installed radiant barrier on our roof deck during re-roofing. Smart to do it then—easy access. We noticed the difference immediately once summer hit. Great addition."
"Our second floor was always too hot. Radiant barrier plus extra insulation made it comfortable. Pro Specialty explained how they work together. Very knowledgeable team."

Common Questions
Studies show 5-10% reduction in cooling costs in Florida homes. Savings are greatest in homes with ducts in the attic and rooms directly below the attic. Combined with proper insulation, total savings can be 20-30%.
No—radiant barriers and insulation work differently and complement each other. Insulation resists conductive heat transfer; radiant barriers reflect radiant heat. You need both for maximum efficiency.
Roof deck or rafter installation is most effective because it intercepts radiant heat highest in the attic. Attic floor installation is easier but less effective since heat has already entered the space.
Proper installation shouldn't affect roof warranty. We maintain required ventilation and follow installation practices that manufacturers approve. We can discuss specifics for your roof type.
Radiant barriers primarily benefit cooling—they reflect heat from your hot roof. In winter, there's less radiant heat from the roof. Florida's minimal heating season means this is rarely a concern.
Radiant barriers have no moving parts and don't degrade significantly over time. Properly installed, they should last the life of the home. They require no maintenance.
