Roofing Membrane is a type of roofing system that creates a watertight roof covering for buildings and tanks to protect the interior of the building. Roofing membranes are usually made of modified bitumen, PVC, thermoplastic, synthetic rubber or similar materials. The most common feature of the roofing membrane is to provide a thin protective layer of material that prevents leaks. Roofing membranes of thickness 30 to 60 millimeters is usually used while installing. Thin materials are usually preferred over other materials as thinner material provides ease of installation and repairs.

Radiant barriers are also known as a reflective insulation that reflects the transfer of heat by the way of thermal radiation. Radiant barriers do not perform in the same way in which standard glass wool or mineral wool batt insulation would work. Instead, the radiant barrier will use its reflective surface to reflect radiant heat, this works when you have a cold surface on one side and a warm surface on the other side. A radiant barrier generally does not carry an R-value as its resisting heat or restricting heat flow it reflects radiant heat.
