To function effectively, a radiant heat barrier must face an airspace of 1″ or greater. A radiant heat barrier will not function if sandwiched between two solid surfaces. HeatBloc, when installed on the underside of roof decking, normally faces downward into the attic. If insulation is installed in the cavity formed by the roof trusses and roof decking (as in a cathedral ceiling), at least 1″ should be allowed between the top of the insulation and the HeatBloc surface.
