On interior wall applications Barrier Coat not only provides a barrier to radiated heat but also an aluminum vapor barrier which reduces water vapor transfer through the walls, a real plus for older homes and homes with EIFS wall systems.In buildings heated by infrared heaters, wood burning stoves or other radiant heat sources, Barrier Coat greatly improves the efficiency of the heat source, reducing fuel and energy costs.Due to the high reflectivity of the coating, Barrier Coat increases interior lighting levels in commercial and industrial buildings which aids in reducing lighting costs.Easily applied to attic space,underside of roof decking, side walls and overhead doors in metal buildings, duct work, pipes, interiors of cargo transportation vehicles, barns, storage buildings, animal shelters, grain silos, poultry housing the applications are endless.

An Easy way to upgrade existing structures.

Improves efficiency of existing insulation by lowering the temperatures that it is exposed to.

Saves money by lowering heating and cooling cost of operation and wear and tear of the equipment.

Excellent for back priming wood sheathing and siding in new construction, not only providing a superior radiant barrier, but also protects against wood rot from water intrusion through cracks and splits in the wood.

Easily installed using brush, roller, or spray.

Permeable, does not trap moisture but reduces its rate of transfer.

Hy-Tech insulating ceramics further reduce conductive heat transfer.

Dual protection: The metallic aluminum pigment reflects away radiant energy or heat from the sun during the summer months and in winter the same microscopic aluminum particles prevent radiant heat from leaving the building.

Very low odor, soap and water clean up.

If you have a crawl space you should spray the underside with Barrier Coat.

To guard against moisture problems, use Barrier Coat on interior walls and ceilings and provide adequate ventilation for the house. More detailed guidance on regional differences in moisture control recommendations can be found in the Moisture Control Handbook published by US Department of Energy. If you live in an area where the climate is predominantly hot and humid, check with a local builder to determine the correct placement or need for a vapor retarder. This location prevents the moisture in the warm indoor air from reaching the insulation. In colder climates, place the vapor retarder on the warm side-the lived-in side-of the space to be insulated. Vapor retarders should be used in most parts of the country.

Vapor retarders are special materials that reduce the passage of water vapor. If moisture becomes deposited in the building structure, it can cause mold growth, peeling paint, and eventual rotting of structural wood.
