Reflective drywall panel to reduce radiant heat transfer

Abstract

The reflective drywall panel to reduce radiant heat transfer is a drywall panel constructed with a reflective surface on one side thereof. The reflective surface functions to reflect radiant heat waves into a space during heating season or away from the space during cooling season. The reflective surface is fabricated from a plastic-metal sheet having a shiny surface. The sheet is attached to the back side (stud side) of a drywall or ceiling panel.

1 . A reflective drywall panel adapted to reduce radiant heat transfer, comprising:
 a drywall panel having a front side and a back side; and   a sheet having a reflective outer surface attached to the drywall panel, the sheet having a plurality of apertures extending through the sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The reflective drywall panel to reduce radiant heat transfer according to  claim 1 , wherein said sheet is attached to the back side of said drywall panel. 
     
     
         3 . The reflective drywall panel to reduce radiant heat transfer according to  claim 1 , wherein said sheet is adhesively attached to said drywall panel. 
     
     
         4 . The reflective drywall panel to reduce radiant heat transfer according to  claim 1 , wherein said sheet is fabricated from a metallicized plastic material. 
     
     
         5 . A reflective drywall panel adapted to reduce radiant heat transfer, comprising:
 a drywall panel having a front side and a stud side; and   a flexible sheet adhesively attached to the drywall panel, the sheet being fabricated from a metallicized plastic material having a reflective outer surface, the sheet having a plurality of apertures disposed through the sheet.   
     
     
         6 . The reflective drywall panel to reduce radiant heat transfer according to  claim 5 , wherein said sheet is attached to the stud side of said drywall panel.
