LP TechShield is installed in homes to minimize radiant heat gain in summer, and to minimize radiant heat loss in winter.
It is made of a thin, durable layer of aluminum laminated to LP’s oriented strand board (OSB), an environmentally-sustainable structural sheathing product.
Installed like regular roof sheathing, in the summer, LP TechShield blocks 97 percent of radiant heat in the panel from entering the attic, which keeps temperatures cooler. This, in turn, allows the air conditioning unit to operate more efficiently.
In the winter, LP TechShield keeps radiant heat from escaping through the roof and walls, reflecting this heat back into the house. As a result, the heating unit doesn’t have to work as hard, and the home stays warmer.
Depending on the climate and energy use, homeowners can enjoy savings of up to 20 percent on monthly energy bills by installing LP TechShield.
