This heat transfer will make your heating/cooling system work harder and can cause hot/cold spots in your home.  If you have ever been under a shade tree on a hot summer day, you know first hand how effective a radiant barrier can be.Will this also help in the winter months?Yes, the radiant insulation barrier keeps warm air inside your home using the same principles as well during winter months by acting as an insulation barrier, preventing drafts and reflecting warm air back into your home where it belongs.
