I've seen this stuff in the stores. It resembles *bubble pak* and is silvered.
I wonder how good it really is.
thanks, F

Id say BS if you notice they dont give a R rating they just say it
copares to , because of Radiant heat reflecting off of the foil. Its
expensive for the R you get. Maybe Im wrong but I read the literature
and found it vauge in its specs and how can it beat foamboard, its
just Bubblewrap.

I have the radiant barrier insulation on my house and I wouldn't have it
any
other way. There are different applications. Bubble, bubble with silver
both sides, closed cell foam with silver both sides. Perforated, so there
is
ability for moisture to dissipate. It is not rated in the "R" system. I
don't know why. I can tell you it works. I am in extreme South Louisiana
and my heating bills are minimal.


No **** your heating bill is minimal in the South
what a dope!

If it idoesnt have a U or R rating its because its crap compared to
other types ... Its only bubble wrap, the true Radiant % is Foil,
Cheap foil. A simple test is hold it over a 100 watt bulb and feel the
warmth , now do that with 1" of foam, No warmth. Get an R value or its a
marketing ploy for the unedcated.

Ok, I guess I deserved that one...thanks for pointing it out.
My cooling bills are minimal.

You need to look at the R value & probably call those that deal with
insulation every day and ask them their thoughts.
