How does it work?
Temper Shield is a space age reflective material. Unlike mass insulation, which slows down the heat transfer, Temper Shield reflects heat. To stop radiant heat, you must reflect it with a reflective barrier like Temper Shield.
How will Temper Shield keep me warmer in the winter?
Just like wrapping a baked potato in aluminum foil keeps a potato warm longer by holding the heat in, covering your attic insulation with Temper Shield holds the heat in the house. Another analogy would be that Temper Shield in the winter works just like a space blanket, which, although very thin and lightweight holds your body heat in. A thin space blanket can keep you warmer than several heavy blankets.
Okay, if in the winter Temper Shield keeps heat in, how can it keep it out in the summer?
Temper Shield reflects the sun's heat before it can warm up the insulation in your attic. When the insulation stays cooler, your house stays cooler. It may help to understand how Temper Shield will work for you if you think of other things that perform in the same way; Astronauts Space Suits - keep body heat in, and reflect the sun's heat away.
