Beat the Heat with Tuff Shed’s Radiant Barrier Technology
Summer’s hottest days are here, but that doesn’t mean your Tuff Shed building has to feel like an oven. If you’re searching for ways to keep things cool even as temperatures rise, Tuff Shed has the perfect solution. Our Premier and Premier PRO series buildings feature LP SilverTech Radiant Barrier Siding and LP SilverCrest Radiant Barrier Roof Decking, designed to block radiant heat and keep your building—and everything inside—up to 30 degrees cooler.
What is LP Radiant Barrier Technology?
LP Radiant Barrier is more than just siding or roof decking—it’s high-tech innovation at its finest. This specialized material works by reflecting radiant heat away from your shed, reducing heat transfer and ensuring a cooler interior. Not only does it help maintain a comfortable temperature, but it also brightens your building’s interior. The reflective surface amplifies natural light, creating a brighter, more functional space.
Built to Last
Durability is key when it comes to your storage building, and LP Radiant Barrier products deliver. Both the siding and roof decking are treated to resist insect and rot damage, ensuring long-lasting performance. Additionally, the treated floor decking, available as an add-on, provides an extra layer of protection against the elements.
Environmentally Friendly Materials
Concerned about sustainability? Tuff Shed’s LP Radiant Barrier technology is an eco-friendly choice. All the wood used in these products is harvested from sustainable, self-regenerating Aspen forests, where trees can be harvested in as little as 15 years—half the time required for many other wood species. By choosing Tuff Shed, you’re making an environmentally conscious decision.

what about sheetrock?
Hi Steve, we specialize in the outer shells of buildings, leaving the customization up to our customers. Many Tuff Shed owners have customized their sheds by adding sheetrock, air conditioning, and electricity.
Is there any way to see the barrier inside the building?
Hi Lorrie,
The photo above does have our barrier shown on the inside of the building, but for a few more photos check out these two blogs. They have a few more photos to give you a better idea of how the barrier looks inside our buildings. http://www.tuffshed.com/building-the-missing-piece/ and http://www.tuffshed.com/double-dutch-doors-for-double-duty/
There is a large number of people in Tucson with multiple chemical sensitivities. My wife was one of them. They are always interested in products that might be safe for them. However, press board, formaldehyde, glue, pesticides and insecticides (as in “treated” products), and most things with fumes that create a strong odor are not safe for such people. Are any such materials in this product? If not, you might have a niche market at your fingertips.
Hi Steve,
Great questions! The great thing about our buildings is the possibilities for customizations. While some of our products may not fall under chemical sensitivity guidelines, our local teams are happy to work with customers to make sure the building they have is exactly what they’re looking for. If that means substituting a custom product rather than for example, our typical paint or shingles, our teams would be happy to do it.
Can I purchase the siding by itself?
Hi Joshua, typically we don’t sell the components of our buildings separately, however you can check with your local office. They’ll be able to better help.
I had a Tuff Shed built about 18 months ago. It has the Silvertech siding also the radiant barrier decking. I want to finish the inside with cabinets and shelves but it says open wall only. What is the issue with doing that? I’m also thinking about installing AC.
Thanks
Hi Dorwin, the open wall note applies to adding extra insulation over top of the SilverTech siding. Adding cabinetry should be fine, so long as there is a gap between the SilverTech and cabinet to allow for air flow. We hope that helps, but please do let us know if you have any other questions.
Do you offer house wrap?
Hi Kay, we sure do!
