NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY... An underlayment moisture barrier that actually inhibits radiant heat from entering your home. As the desert sun bakes you tile where they can burn to touch, this heat is transferred down to your living area, destroying your underlayment, turning your attic into an oven! Your air conditioning unit works feverishly to cool down your house while your home is baked for 12-16 hours during the day.

When people think of a roofing underlayment they most likely will picture asphalt felt paper. ESP has revolutionized the roofing industry by introducing the first underlayment that will actually work for the homeowner. Micro-E Insulation acts as not only an underlayment that will not absorb moisture but also as an insulator. When your contractor installs Therma Sheet according to manufactures specifications it will seal around fasteners, provide a complete vapor barrier, and stop radiant heat gain/loss. No other underlayment can offer this much for the price. Homeowners will be placing a product on their roof that will pay for itself by saving them money on utility bills. While most underlayments will deteriorate over time Micro-E Therma Sheet will last the life of your roofing system! Ask Your Contractor about Micro-E Therma Sheet!

What is a radiant barrier? Reflective insulation, (Micro-E THERMA SHEET®) is a metallic foil material (usually aluminum) designed to block radiant heat transfer across open spaces. Reflective insulation is most effective at reducing cooling bills in hot, sunny climates. Keep in mind, the effective (calculated) R-value of the product will vary depending on the direction of heat flow (up, down, sideways). The performance and long-term cost-effectiveness of the product depends on number of factors, including where the product is installed, how the product is installed, and the amount of existing insulation currently in the home. The U.S. Department of Energy and the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) have excellent and detailed web sites that explain how the product works, which climates the product is most cost effective, and energy savings that can be expected. Radiant barriers/reflective insulation (the metallic foil product) can earn the ENERGY STAR label as insulation.
