How does the Kiss Reflective Heat Shield™ keep heat out in the summer?
Just like a space suit, KISS Reflective Heat Shield sends the sun’s heat away before it can warm up the insulation in your attic. When the insulation stays cooler, your house will stay cooler. It helps to understand how the KISS Reflective Heat Shield will work for you if you think of other things that work in much the same way. ASTRONAUTS’ SPACE SUITS – keep body heat and send the sun’s heat away. THERMOS BOTTLES – keep hot things hot and cold things cold. They are almost perfect insulators. The tight seal and air space prohibit heat transfer by conduction and convection. The outside surfaces inhibit heat transfer. If the bottle starts out hot, it stays hot because very little heat is transferred to the cooler outside. If it starts out cold, it stays cold because very little heat is transferred from the warmer outside.
