This starts with the correct insulation for the tropical Hawai’i climate, then proper ventilation using natural wind or when the tradewinds are not blowing, a whole house fan that will create a breeze through your home while flushing out hot air from the attic.

SolarGuard Reflective Insulation

A seen on HGTV Pro, SolarGuard is one of the few insulation products designed specifically to keep heat out.–Greatly increasing comfort in the home.

SolarGuard addresses all three modes of heat transfer, radiation, conduction and convection. However the foil in SolarGuard can by itself reflect up to 93% of radiant energy striking it. This is very important to Hawaii, as radiant energy from our tropical sun is the main source of home heat.

To give you an example of how SolarGuard works, when you’re at the beach and the temperature is 85 degrees, if you are under an umbrella, even though the air temperature is exactly the same, you will feel noticeable difference because the radiant heat is reflected away. In its simplest application, chocolate bars are wrapped in aluminum to protect them from radiant heat. In a similar style Solar Guard will reflect the Sun’s heat allowing your attic ventilation time to cool your home.

SolarGuard reduces installation costs because it’s lightweight and flexible. SolarGuard’s slim profile makes it easily fit between purlins and roof sheets. SolarGuards’s fiberglass core is encapsulated so it’s ideal for applications alone. Another key benefit: no itchy fibers!

SolarGuard is competitively priced for quantity purchasing. Please call (808) 228.7616 for pricing.
