In today’s energy-conscious market, a cooler home is a hot seller. Add value and saleability to your homes with Ainsworth Thermastrand™ radiant barrier roof sheathing.
These foil-overlaid, micro-perforated OSB panels block up to 97% of the sun’s radiant energy, making homes more comfortable and reducing cooling costs by 10% to 20% or more. Micro-perforations control humidity build-up: independent tests have proven that Thermastrand panels are twice as permeable as other competitive panel. The savings pay for themselves quickly—and they’re easy to install as regular sheathing.

Thermastrand is the only one-step radiant barrier that’s backed by a 25-Year warranty.
