Many homeowners think that the existence of radiant barrier is insignificant to their health, safety or even the amount of money they will pay every month on electricity bills. Unfortunately for them, they are very wrong, as they can make their life so much easier and better, if they only knew how important the function of radiant barriers to their home’s efficiency is. Here's what might happen in houses where there's no thermal insulation.
Temperature Control
Temperature control is that much harder to achieve in houses where there's no thermal insulation. The radiant barriers' job is to literally be that barrier between your house and the outside. Therefore, its absence will obviously lead to losing control over the temperature inside your house, as cold winds will infiltrate the house during cold winter days and nights and warm air will find its way easily into the house during those hot summer months. Meaning, your house will become very uncomfortable for you to stay at and you'll have to deal with increasing electricity bills as your house's heating and cooling systems will have to work doubly hard.
Air Quality Control
It may sound to you as rocket science at first, but it is not as complicated as it sounds. How do we usually control the quality of the air at our house? Simply by controlling its temperature. If the air you breathe is too warm it will also probably be less healthy. Furthermore, hot and dark places, like attics, are excellent breeding ground for mold and the like. Meaning, there's a chance you'll breathe air with mold spores in it if you won't keep its temperature in check. It's also the same the other way around, breathing air that's too cold in winter, can cause a sore throat and other problems, especially with the respiratory system.
