Frequently Asked Questions

What is RadenShield used for?

RadenShield is a radiant barrier insulation product designed to reflect heat away from your home or building. It is commonly installed under roof tiles or sheeting to reduce indoor temperatures, improve energy efficiency, and act as a vapor and moisture barrier.

How does RadenShield work?

RadenShield reflects up to 95% of radiant heat. By using highly reflective aluminium foil layers, it helps maintain cooler indoor temperatures in summer and retains warmth in winter — reducing the need for heating or cooling systems.

What are the different types of RadenShield?

RadenShield is available in four main variants:

  • Single-Sided – For tiled residential roofs
  • Double-Sided – For tiled and sheeted roofs with higher reflectivity
  • Industrial – For large buildings and warehouses
  • Ecosential – A lighter, cost-effective option for standard residential use

Is RadenShield fireproof?

RadenShield is not fully fireproof, but it is fire-resistant and meets strict South African safety standards. It carries a B/B1/2/H fire rating, as tested to SANS 428, meaning:

  • It is self-extinguishing and does not sustain flames once the source is removed
  • It does not contribute to the spread of fire
  • It’s safe for use in roofing applications where compliance with national fire regulations is required

While it won’t catch fire easily, it is not classified as non-combustible like some glasswool insulation products (e.g., Knauf or Aerolite with Class A1 ratings).

Can RadenShield be used in all types of buildings?

Yes. RadenShield is suitable for homes, offices, warehouses, factories, and commercial spaces. Each variant is designed to suit different roofing systems and budgets.

Is RadenShield SANS compliant?

Yes. RadenShield products are tested to SANS 1381-4, SANS 10400-XA, and SANS 428 standards, ensuring compliance with South African building regulations.

Does RadenShield help with condensation?

Yes. All RadenShield variants act as vapor barriers that help prevent condensation and moisture buildup, which is crucial in maintaining healthy indoor air quality and protecting roofing materials.

What is the R-value of RadenShield?

Depending on the variant, R-values range from 1.05 to 1.59 (Product) and up to 1.94 (System). These values represent the thermal resistance performance when installed correctly.

Is RadenShield eco-friendly?

While not biodegradable, RadenShield has a long lifespan and contributes to energy efficiency by reducing heating and cooling needs, which lowers your carbon footprint over time.
