  • Ainsworth. The firm claims Thermastrand OSB not only blocks up to 97 percent of the sun's radiant heat, but is the only radiant barrier product with a 25-year warranty that guarantees the foil will not delaminate. Thermastrand keeps attics up to 30 degrees cooler and heat distribution more consistent throughout the home. Air conditioner running time and its on/off cycling also are reduced. 877-661-3200.

Installed like traditional OSB, LP TechShield radiant barrier sheathing can prevent up to 97% of radiant heat in the panel from entering a home's attic, and produce summertime energy savings of up to 20%, the maker says. Standard panels measure 4 feet by 8 feet in five thicknesses. The panels are APA Exposure 1 rated OSB and come with a 20-year transferable limited warranty that covers the aluminum, OSB substrate, and lamination process. 888.820.0325.
