How ZIP System Radiant Barrier Works in Hot Climates

Steve Baczek, an architect, explains how ZIP System Radiant Barrier roof sheathing helps reduce heat transfer into the attic of a home in Houston, Texas. The product combines standard ZIP System sheathing and an integrated weather-resistant barrier with a foil-facing designed to reflect radiant energy. Steve breaks down how radiant heat differs from conduction and convection, why low-emissivity surfaces matter, and how climate influences the system’s potential energy savings. He also discusses installation, maintenance, and the importance of keeping the foil surface clean, focusing on how radiant barriers can help limit attic temperatures and reduce the cooling load in hot climates.
