Radiant Barrier
Radiant barriers or reflective barriers inhibit heat transfer by thermal radiation. Thermal energy may also be transferred via conduction or convection, however, and not all radiant barriers do not necessarily protect against heat transfer via conduction or convection unless they are multiple layers of material "sandwiching" a traditional insulating foam product.
