Eco Solar Shield Reviews - Best Radiant Barri

What is the "R" value of Eco-Solar-Shield™?

An R-Value is a measurement of resistance to the flow of conductive heat transfer. Since Radiant Barriers like Eco-Solar-Shield™ are designed to reflect radiant and not conductive heat, they do not have an actual R-Value. Any "theoretical" or "equivalent" R-Value depends heavily on the method of installation and the size and number of airspaces surrounding the material. We do not attempt to assign any R-Value to Eco Solar Shield™ as it is not relevant and is somewhat misleading. It is the RB's ability to reflect radiant heat that makes it such an energy saver.


Which do I need, Perforated or Non-Perforated?


It depends on your particular climate and application. If you are installing the Eco-Solar-Shield™ on the outside/exterior of mass insulation, you generally want to use the perforated type so as not to trap moisture within the wall. If your climate or local codes call for an interior vapor barrier, you can install the Non-Perforated type on the inside/interior of mass insulation. In this case you would also tape the seams to create a vapor barrier. We recommend using only perforated Radiant Barrier – in all attic installations.


Is the Perforated type as effective as Non-Perforated?
Yes, the holes are very small and do not degrade the performance of the RB. They are there just to allow moisture to pass through and have virtually no effect on the thermal performance.


How much tape do I need?


When using Eco-Solar-Shield™ as a Vapor Barrier or house wrap, it is important to seal all the seams. You will need approximately 1 roll of tape (2" x 150') for every 1000sf of Eco-Solar-Shield™.


How can I Review the Eco Solar Shield feedback from homeowners who have already purchased the Radiant Barrier “Eco Solar Shield?”


There are dozens of reviews written about the Eco Solar Shield Reviews.


Is double sided Eco-Solar-Shield™ any better than the single sided type?


Yes, provided that it is installed with an air space on both sides. There are two properties which allow Radiant Barriers to work, reflectivity and low emissivity (low-e). Heat is reflected on the top/hot side, and since RB has a low-e value, heat is not emitted to the bottom/cold side. Of these two properties the low-e value is of greater importance. In order for a radiant barrier to be most effective in both summer and winter it needs to have aluminum on both sides. According to a study performed by a Texas A&M University professor, double sided radiant barriers were nearly 50% more effective than their single sided counterparts.


How much savings can I expect from an attic installed Eco-Solar-Shield™?


Your actual savings will vary with many factors including: attic installed location, house shading, duct leakage, air handler location, geographic location, etc. In the South, you can expect to see a 40% reduction in heat gained through the ceiling. This can translate to a 17% savings on cooling bills. In some installations, there will also be additional savings on heat which will no longer be lost through the ceiling in the winter.  Begin Saving on your electric bill now with Lower My Power Bill.

Radiant Barrier Eco Solar Shield Best In Market

Eco Solar Shield™ is a Revolutionary New High Strength, Multilayer, Composite Material that forms a Powerful Thermal Reflective Barrier, Blocking Heat in the Summer, and Capturing it in the Winter.

No other Radiant Barrier on the market today compares to Eco-Solar-Shield's™ efficiency, energy savings, or environmentally friendly qualities. Though thin and lightweight, It stops 97% of radiant heat transfer and, according to Department of Energy studies, adding Eco-Solar-Shield™ to existing insulation in your home provides more energy savings than installing an additional 12 inches of traditional fiberglass insulation.

Power Bill Savings With Solar Hot Water Heater

With new technology comes energy savings. 

How Much Can I Save with a Solar Hot Water Heater? 

Your electric hot water heater is one item that guzzles your electricity from the power company with its 2 - 4,500 watt heating elements (that's the equivalent of 90 - 100 watt light bulbs on at all times.)

The benefits of replacing your electric hot water heater with a solar hot water heater is a savings in the range of $60 to $75 every month, forever.  You also can enjoy your hot water when the power is out for a period of 3-5 days.
