Enhance Comfort with Radiant Barriers
Radiant barriers are an excellent addition to attics, helping to improve energy efficiency and comfort within homes. Spaceage Radiant Barrier and Reflectix Insulation Radiant Barrier are two popular double bubble options we use to achieve optimal results. These barriers work by reflecting radiant heat away from the attic, which can significantly reduce cooling costs in the summer and maintain warmth during the winter.
Benefits of Radiant Barriers in the Attic:
- Reduce cooling costs by reflecting heat
- Improve overall home energy efficiency
- Help maintain consistent indoor temperatures
- Easy to install and durable
- Can enhance the effectiveness of existing insulation

Are there any energy tax credits or insulation rebates available?
Yes! See our Tax Incentives section for more information on financial incentives available when re-insulating a home.
What does R-Value Mean in Insulation?
R-Value stands for resistance. Insulation is measured by its resistance to heat flow and temperature conduction. The higher the R-Value number the greater insulation can resist temperature conduction making a home much easier to heat or cool.
What R-value is right for me?
Insulation’s R-values can range from R-10 through R-60. In Virginia, the current building code for insulation is R-49 for attics, R-19 for exterior-facing walls, and R-30 for crawlspace floor joists. It is highly recommended that your home be insulated to meet these codes.
Properly insulating your home to Virginia code not only increases its resale value but also saves you money on energy costs.
Why Remove Insulation?
Your attic space is one of the most essential parts of your home. Most old insulation is wet, moldy, or infested with pests. Your house’s overall wellness depends mainly on the condition of your attic – so why conceal an issue?
DON’T BLOW OVER!! Let Zhe Industries, LLC remove contaminated insulation with our heavy-duty insulation removal vacuums. Our system is fully enclosed and safely carries the insulation from your attic to an outside filtered vacuum bag using industrial-size vacuum hoses.
Why Vacuum out Insulation?
Having your old insulation vacuumed out professionally is your first line of defense against rodents, bacterial growth, and moisture issues. Don’t be fooled by the other guys selling you on blowing over/topping off your insulation. Adding new insulation over old creates a favorable condition; rodents and bacteria thrive on greater reducing efficiency and shelf-life of new insulation.
How Insulation is Removed?
We use the industry’s largest & most advanced insulation vacuum systems available. Our vacuums use 8-inch hoses capable of removing sizes 24in rolled/batt & blown insulation, which means no contaminated insulation is carried through your home. All Insulation is brought safely into an industrial vacuum bag right into a Z Industries-owned dumper. Read more about this process.
What's Truly Under Your Insulation?
This is an image from our industrial vacuum clean out trap. There are several rodent carcasses & feces which are a breeding ground for deadly bacteria that will impact the health of your home. Installing home insulation over old is adding more fuel to the fire.
