LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Energy-Efficient OSB
LP© TechShield© Radiant Barrier
With utility and oil costs escalating, consumers are constantly looking for ways to reduce their energy consumption. LP TechShield Radiant Barrier is an energy-efficient solution that can be built into your home.
Using a durable sheet of aluminum overlay laminated to LP Oriented Strand Board (OSB), TechShield shelters walls and attics from up to 97% of the radiant heat in the panel. The result is that your home stays cooler and your air conditioner operates more efficiently. Best of all, it installs just like standard sheathing.
Advantages
Unlike most other radiant barrier products that can trap moisture and lead to deterioration of the building, TechShield's patented "breathable" technology releases moisture nearly as fast as standard roof sheathing.
Plus, TechShield contains no added formaldehyde, only what occurs naturally in the wood. There is less formaldehyde in TechShield than the amount found in traditional sawn lumber. In fact, mowing your lawn produces significantly more formaldehyde (20 ppb) than TechShield contains (1.5-2 ppb)!
Green Building
More and more people are building green these days, and that’s good news — for the environment and for all of us. The goal of green building is to reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and the people in them.
Several design and construction practices can help reduce the impact of buildings on the environment. LP© TechShield© Radiant Barrier can make a difference in your home. Because it blocks heat during warm months and retains heat during colder months, less energy is required for heating and cooling. Reducing energy use results in decreased carbon emissions and a healthier environment.
