LO/MIT Radiant Barrier Coating is superior to other insulation products applied to the underside of the roof for the following main reasons:

Spray Foam Method

– Spray Foam installation requires expensive machinery to install.

– Spray Foam can lock in moisture, as it may not be a completely permeable substance. This makes it difficult to find leaks and can cause problems with rot of the roof sheathing.

– Spray Foam may be highly flammable and can easily combust. radiant coating vs foam

– Applicators have to wear especially protective equipment during application process.

– Installed cost tends to be far more expensive, making for a more difficult sale.

Foil Radiant Barrier Method

– Radiant Foil installation can become damaged in the form of rips, tears, or de-lamination.

– Radiant Foils are excellent conductors of electricity, which can cause problems if a home is struck by lightning.

– Foil laminated to sheathing or stapled to rafters after construction can mask roof leaks and possible mold growth.

– Stapled foils are more labor-intensive to retrofit, making for a more difficult sale.

– Foils may affect cell phone reception in the home.

LO/MIT Radiant Barrier Coating offers contractors the following benefits:

– Cost-Effective. Unlike other products that require expensive, specialized equipment to apply, LO/MIT is applied with a simple airless paint sprayer, eliminating expensive and difficult to maintain spray foam rigs. This means limited up front cost. In addition, the cost of LO/MIT coating offers a better value and higher profit margins.
