Radiant Osb Roofing

Span and exposure rated sheathing with dimensional stability.

Radiant osb roofing.

Foil backed osb is applied mostly in attics. 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. Available in 8 ft 9 ft and 10 ft lengths. The radiant barrier reflects 95 of the radiant heat back to the roofing materials which then emits over 90 of the heat out the roof almost instantly.

More energy is needed to cool the house and that means higher energy costs for homeowners. Oriented strand board osb with a thin layer of low emitting aluminum foil attached to one side is a common type of thermal radiant barrier sheathing.

Edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion and water related issues that can lead to call backs. Super moisture resistance patented vaporvents technology allows any trapped moisture to escape from the panels during and after installation. It reduces attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees fahrenheit and it blocks up to 97 of radiant heat. With no barrier to restrict the heat it radiates through the insulation into living spaces causing room temperatures to rise.

Solarbord must not be installed with foil side in contact with the roofing materials. This reflection insulation also has high mechanical properties making it perfect for load bearing applications in construction. Quality base layer for wall and roof sheathing applications. Oriented strand board isn t plywood nor is it a type of particleboard fiberboard or wafer board and although it is a newcomer to a plywood dominated market its use for exterior sheathing is.

Product overview the osb techshield radiant barrier osb is engineered to improve energy efficiency. In order to block the radiant energy from your hot roofing materials the foil side of solarbord must face the attic space.

Unlike insulation like fiberglass or foam neither radiant barriers nor the roofing materials hold radiant heat. The high purity aluminum 99 laminated on solarbord requires an air space in order to provide radiant thermal shield benefits.

Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper.
