It may seem unlikely that a house wrap that offers RF shielding can really help with energy savings, but it is true. The RF shielding can be used in crawl spaces, attics, garages, basements, and other areas, to stop the transfer of heat and cold from one place to another. It is an excellent way to provide a strong, radiant barrier around a home, or between one part and another part. For example, between the basement and the first floor, or between the garage and the living space in the house. Before deciding if this option is right for you, it is important to understand how it works, exactly what it does, and the best ways to use it.
What is RF Shielding, and What Does It Do?
As a type of reflective insulation, RF shielding is a method by which electric and magnetic fields are disbursed on one side of a barrier, instead of allowing them to make their way through to the other side. With these fields remaining on their respective sides of the barrier (the shield), they cannot cause any problems on the other side of that barrier, such as inferring with competing radiant frequencies.
