Commercial Roofs
E-Therm is an ideal material to instal in commercial buildings to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss.
It reduces building heating and cooling energy usage It reduces building heating and cooling energy usage. An E-Therm barrier reflects radiant heat back towards its source, reflecting as much as 97%.
E-Therm is designed to block the effects of radiant heat gain in buildings by reflecting radiant heat rather than absorbing it. They provide substantial energy savings in warm climates. When a E-Therm barrier is placed in the roof system, much of the heat radiated from the hot roof is reflected back toward the roof.
This keeps the ceiling cooler than it would have been without E-Therm and thus reduces the amount of heat that moves through into the rooms below the ceiling. Studies have shown that E-Therm barriers can lower a cooling bill significantly when used in warm, sunny climates.
E-Therm barriers come in various forms, including: Double and single sided reflective foil on semi-rigid foam. E-Therm, which provides a significant amount of radiant heat insulation, can be combined with thermal insulation for increased energy efficiency. It reduces heat gains without the need for increasing cavity thickness in order to accommodate bulky insulation.
E-Therm barriers reduce the amount of noise radiated by up to 12 decibels, minimising rain, aircraft and traffic noise.
