Regent Homes builds with LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Roof Sheathing


Regent Homes builds EnergySmart homes that save money, energy and the environment. LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Roof Sheathing is just one of the many energy-saving features that go into our homes. LP TechShield Sheathing features a thin, durable layer of aluminum laminated to LP OSB roof sheathing. This creates a highly effective radiant barrier. Because it helps block radiant heat from entering your home, LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Sheathing can reduce your air conditioning bills by up to 17%. That is built in savings that start immediately and last for years to come. In the summer, the sun turns your attic into an oven. LP TechShield Sheathing can block up to 97% of radiant heat transfer through roof sheathing lowering your attic temperatures by as much as 30º F. This creates cooler rooms below and increases the efficiency of the in-attic air handling system. So you save energy summer after summer. This product has earned the U.S. Government’s Energy Star® certification from the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
