LO/MIT attic heat barrier is a coating specially formulated to reduce summer radiant heat gain from the roof into the attic. LO/MIT is a silver-colored, non-thickness dependent, low emissivity radiant barrier paint (Interior Radiation Control Coating System- IRCCS), which may be used in almost any application where infrared (heat) reflectivity or diffuse light reflectivity is required. Cool your attic and lower utility costs by applying LO/MIT to the underside of your roof deck and rafters! Easily applied with standard airless paint sprayers, LO/MIT is the most economical way to install radiant heat barrier technology in your home.
