Default Is this foil/foam/foil insulation good?

Hi,

I'm looking for insulation for my small garage/shop for the ceiling,
which I prefer not to cover after insulating it. Anybody know about
this stuff? Is it really as good as it appears? TIA

Try Tuff-R 4'X8' sections.


You would need 2 inches of that to have the same R value as the OPs link and
that stuff is 1/4" thick for R14. Sounds pretty good. I'll look into it
for underfloor insulation

It looks superior at reflecting radiated heat as well as blocking conducted
heat.

The Tuff R is about $8 for 1" 4x8 while the other stuff is about $0.29 per
SF in the larger roll. Actually less expensive for R14 equivelent.
