EShield Attic Energy Barrier

Statewide Remodeling is excited to introduce eShield, an attic energy barrier that is guaranteed to make your home more energy efficient. Most people don’t realize their attic is improperly insulated, but they do realize that their heating and cooling bills are skyrocketing. eShield is the most cost-effective home improvement you can make to lower your heating and cooling bills.

Here are some facts:

*The US Department of Energy says that over 100 million US homes are under-insulated
*42% of home energy loss happens through the roof
*The US Department of Energy recommends your attic have an R-value of R38- R60, and most homes fall short of this

Benefits of the eShield Attic Energy Barrier:

*State-of-the-art foil laminating technology
*Stops 97% of radiant transfer, the leading cause of energy loss
*Guaranteed to save you at least 25% on your heating and cooling costs
*Works for the life of your home without settling, condensation or mildew
*Safe, Maintenance-free, fiber-free, and non-allergenic
*Usually pays for itself faster than any other home investment
*Qualifies for the Federal Energy Tax Credit
*Certified by the US Department of Energy

eShield Space Technology

A space suit can be 310�F on the side facing the sun and -290�F on the opposite side. But a flexible radiant barrier laminated into the fabric allows the space suit to reflect the searing heat of the sun and retain the body’s warmth on the dark side. Your home is like a space suit. It should keep heat in when the weather is cold – and keep it out when the weather is hot. eShield is made of the same radiant barrier technology used by NASA in space. It can produce dramatic results in your attic, and bring your heating and cooling bills down to earth.

eShield Installation

eShield attic energy barrier is highly versatile. The configuration of your attic and your relative heating and cooling requirements will determine the best installation method. Our installation experts are trained to install eShield attic energy barrier to best suit your home.

Department of Energy tests show that eShield™ attic energy barrier can deliver more energy savings than twelve inches of additional fiberglass insulation.

eShield vs. Ordinary Insulation

attic insulation vs eShield attic barrier

eShield attic energy barrier can provide you with substantial energy savings. In these photos, an identical heat source is applied to two installations: one with R-19 mass insulation only, and one with the same mass insulation covered by a single layer of eshield attic energy barrier. After only 30 minutes, the eShield protected side is clearly cooler than the insulation side alone.

R-Value vs E-Value

R-value measures only the resistance to conduction and convection, but almost all of the energy lost in your home is through emission or radiant heat transfer. E-value is the ability to prevent radiant heat transfer. This factor is far more important than R-value in evaluating an insulation system for your home. eShield Attic Energy Barrier has much higher E-value than any form of mass insulation.

eSheild Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why don’t building codes specify E-values as well as R-values?

A: In the last century, the only cost-effective insulation for the home was mass insulation like fiberglass, cellulose and foam that reduced heat transfer by convection and conduction. The “R-value” was the measure of how good a job those insulators did. Yet R-value measures only the smallest part of residential heat transfer. E-value is the measure of emissive, radiant heat transfer, the principle source of energy loss. New technologies make it practical to achieve extremely low emissive in window glass and in a reflective film ideal for the attic. As these low-E technologies advance, the codes will catch up and E-value will replace R-value as the primary measure of energy efficiency.

Q: Will eShield™ installed in my attic trap mildew-causing moisture in my ceiling?

A: eShield™ is perforated to allow vapor to escape the housing envelope – it will not contribute to mildew growth in your home.

Q: Will eShield™ create a fire hazard in my attic?

A: eShield™ Attic Energy Barrier is fire-resistant – it’s less combustible than the structure to which it attaches. Of course, like almost any material, it will melt and eventually burn if exposed to an open flame.

Q: Can I get a rebate for installing eShield™?

A: eShield™ Attic Energy Barrier is Department of Energy approved. This is the gold standard in energy efficiency and qualifies for most federal, state and energy company rebates. Check with your eShield™ rep to learn what’s available in your area.
