Frequently Asked Questions about the ASTEC Systems

15. If ASTEC keeps the heat out during the summer will it keep the heat in during the winter?

During cold winter days in the northern hemisphere, heat will tend to travel from inside the building towards the colder outside (ambient) air. Although ASTEC has a very low k-value (which indicates a high R-value), its thickness will not be enough to act as a conductive insulator for heat transfers through the ceiling and through the roof towards the outside air.
