Radiant barrier sheathing installs foil-side down to reflect heat.

Products such as Coastal Plywood Co.'s SolarPly and Ainsworth's Thermastrand feature plywood sheathing laminated with foil to reflect UV rays and heat away from the roof. “A worry early on was that the reflection would heat roof shingles too much, but we've found it only raises the shingle temperature about two degrees,” says Jason White, national sales manager for Coastal Plywood Co.

Tyvek AtticWrap by DuPont can be installed across rafters to reflect infrared rays, followed by furring strips for ventilation, and roof decking. For low-slope roofing, Certain-Teed recently introduced the CoolStar coating on its Flintglas cap sheet (right). The factory-applied white acrylic coating has an initial solar reflectance of 0.77 and a thermal emittance of 0.92.

“In the renovation market, you may not be able to expand a building much or start from scratch, but you can improve its performance, and that's where a lot of these products come in,” says Joe King, global technology manager for DuPont Building Innovations.
