The Roofing Underlayment You Need!
Have you ever poured hot coffee into a paper cup and burned your hand from the heat? As a result, you put a sleeve on your coffee cup to protect your hands from the heat. The coffee sleeve provides a thermal break between your hand and the hot drink, which is similar to what Low-E ThermaSheet® does for your roof. ThermaSheet® acts as a thermal barrier between the harsh sun and your cool, air conditioned home. In this article, we will describe everything you need to know about Low-E ThermaSheet® and the great benefits it provides homeowners.
What is ThermaSheet®?
Low-E ThermaSheet® is an insulated roof underlayment designed to help homeowners save energy and money while maintaining a nice air conditioned home. The thermal break created by ThermaSheet® reduces the temperature below your roof deck. The lowered temperature allows your HVAC system a much needed break in the hot summers, because less radiant heat is entering your home. In the summer, radiant heat is responsible for 93% – 97% of that heat gain. To put it simply, Low-E ThermaSheet® stops some of the heat from entering, which results in your air conditioner not having to work as hard to cool your home. This saves energy, which saves you money on your utility bill.
Low-E ThermaSheet® Product Benefits
Below are just a few reasons why Low-E ThermaSheet® can prove to be the best roof underlayment for you and your home.
Stand alone
Low-E ThermaSheet® is ICC approved to be a stand alone roofing underlayment. It does not
need to be used in conjunction with felt paper, synthetics or any other traditional roofing
underlayments. It is your roofing underlayment and insulation all-in-one!

ThermaSheet® can help reduce your carbon footprint and help reduce your home energy usage. Your planet will thank you for choosing ThermaSheet® as your roof underlayment!
Saves money on monthly bills
Who doesn’t love saving money? As we described earlier, installing ThermaSheet® can decrease your monthly utility bills by saving on energy. Warm summer temperatures mean your air conditioner is working hard to keep you cool. Let ThermaSheet® work together with your home HVAC system to give you more summer spending money.
