Radiant Osb Roofing

Radiant energy transferred through standard roof sheathing creates heat build up in the attic.

Radiant osb roofing.

Super moisture resistance patented vaporvents technology allows any trapped moisture to escape from the panels during and after installation. With no barrier to restrict the heat it radiates through the insulation into living spaces causing room temperatures to rise.

Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths. Span and exposure rated sheathing with dimensional stability. It reduces attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees fahrenheit and it blocks up to 97 of radiant heat. 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.
