Arctic Shield®is shown as house wrap just before outer surface is applied.
Also, you may be aware that if a home has radiant barrier installed, most HVAC application software has a “Radiant Barrier” factor that results in a 10% to 20% reduction in the tonnage air conditioning system requirement. This will save money on construction costs as well as reduce the utility bills for the end user. For maximum efficiency, the radiant barrier house wrap should be applied behind brick, allowing for a 3/4" air space.
