Check with your water bill for the last 12 months and you will come to realize that we are nowhere near to finding a solution to the Green House Gas effect and the causes of global warming.

Check with your water bill for the last 12 months and you will come to realize that we are nowhere near to finding a solution to the Green House Gas effect and the causes of global warming. Moreover it is not always possible to replace all the neon light bulbs with lesser electricity consuming fluorescent bulbs and limiting the use of air conditioners in the summers. It is just not possible as we have become habituated to this kind of living. There should be some other way that helps in saving our resources and reduces the impact of Global Warming.

Reflective insulation as an answe

Reflective insulation can be an answer to the problem of long electricity bills that contributes to Global Warming and heating up of the earth. With reflective foil insulation, we can effectively make our rooms cooler and thus will have to use lesser of electricity to stay cool. This form of cooling is not very widely known or used but its effective, cost effective and energy saving.

The science behind

What is the color of the umbrella that you use? Better else, move out into the beaches on a hot sunny day and check out the umbrellas that people are using. It is a logical usage that people mostly use bright umbrellas. The lighter the color, the better will it is able to reflect sunlight and the shade underneath will be cooler. Moreover when the surface of the umbrella is shiny, it will be able to reflect heat away better. This is the very principle used in foil insulation and radiation insulators.

Firefighters in the field also use a radiant barrier to protect their skin from the excessive heat of the flames. Thus the use of a foil insulator is already in use, but it?s only the society that has not discovered the real utility of it as a heat insulator in homes.

So, does this mean anything for your home? If your room gets overheated easily you too can use the umbrella method to cut off the radiation and lower the amount of heat. As the umbrella functions in the streets, so does the foil insulator for the house. This is also an inexpensive method of keeping your house cool and uses less of air conditioners. This doesn?t necessarily mean that you would have to wrap your whole roof with foils. The foil insulation is installed just under the roof such that the heat is cut out when traveling from the overheated roof to the cool rooms below.

Foil barriers can also be used as an effective way of moisture control. The installation not being expensive and not hurting the eye at any instance is recommended for all houses that suffer during the long summer noon. You can also try setting up the foil insulation yourself if you please so. However if you have a dangerous roof structure you need to call in an expert who with his specialized tools would do the job for you.
