It doesn't work with asphalt shingle roof tiles because you need the airgap for it to work, right?

I have foam spray insulation in my attic currently. Would stapling a foil barrier to the top of the attic be any benefit or detriment to the foam effectiveness? The north Texas heat is out pacing the central air with some rooms reaching 80 degrees with the thermostat on 74.

How much do you charge per sq.feet of attic foil. My home is 2, 200 sq Ft.

How does UV get through metal sheeting? Asking for a friend 😂

Excellent training videos. Nice job

I am in north Georgia. I don’t have the ability to get to all of my rafters in the ceiling in my attic. If I do the floor method, will it still keep the heat away enough? Even though the ceiling method might be better. Is there there still some benefit to putting it on the floor?

Does laying it across insulation will it not heat the shingles

Can they work together?

If the Bluetex is in contact with the metal tubing for securing it, doesn't that surface still cause a line of cold air/moisture build up, when trying to heat it in the winter?

Thank you! EXCELLENT video and explanations!!! Previously I thought that the radiant barrier only worked by installing (stapling) on the underside of the roof. So I avoided a whole section of the roof because I was not able to get into that area to install on the roof/top underside.

I have a finished attic that is too hot in the summer. Do any of you have any suggestions for what I could do for a finished attic? (Two bedrooms, hallway, and small bathroom) I have central air, but no return vents in top floor. Any suggestions are appreciated.

👍

Would using this along side a 3/4 foam board between your perlins be benifical or just use the foil no foam board?

In South Carolina what’s best way to install? Staple to underside of roof plywood or on the face of the roof joists like shown in the video. I saw one video saying in southern states it should be on underside of roofing plywood

I have blown in insulation in my attic. I would like a product that I could apply to the underside of the roof so I can either eliminate some, or all, of that insulation. I want to fully re-examine my duct work that my HVAC system uses but with 4ft of blown in insulation, that makes it pretty hard. Do you guys have a solution for that?

I'm sorry if you've already answered this but to do you lay the perforated barrier WITH radiant barrier or instead of it? Basically is it one or the other or is it in conjunction with? Thanks

can you drywall over this product?

Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for.

Can you put this under the board on the inside of the roof then technically you have an air space in the rafters ?

I've done a lot of insulation but never radiant barrier. This was really informative and well explained. Thanks guys it ups my game a lot.

Good demonstration of you get what you pay for. Hopefully sales are brisk during this Solar Maximum. Have you tried multiple layers with air gaps between? Wondering if that would help reduce solar heat gain in any meaningful way.

I leave the attic door open in the garage and the garage door open a crack. Then it creates a nice draft into attic and comes out the vents

Appreciate the video. Have some questions on best process. Looking to install attic foil in my home AND increase the insulation. Currently have cheap, thin fiberglass bats. Looking to add cellulose due to the better properties versus blown in fiberglass. However, I see cellulose makes a lot of dust when installing. I read/watched online that if the radiant barrier surface gets dusty, it diminishes its properties. So, since you recommend using the radient barrier to block the soffits and create that draft area behind the barrier and then one would install insulation. how do I install the radiant barrier and then the cellulose without diminishing the barrier properties due to cellulose dusting? Thanks

I put this in the attic of my garage and it made it much cooler up there. This stuff is great. Very tough almost indestructible. I was surpised how easy it was to put up. I had some left over and I left it outside beside my shed. That was ten years ago in the sun and rain. Still looks good.

Will radiant barrier foil affect the shingles or void GAF warrantees? I think some manufacturers require specific ventilation.

I purchased 1500sqf roll and will be installing this weekend. I can’t wait!

That's great for summer, what about winter?

Amazing, to-the-point videos, guys. Thank you so much. I'm reinsulating a finished attic and this information is priceless!!

I'm re-insulating a finished attic in an old house. Where would I put the radiant barrier? In other words, fiberglass batts against the roof, then radiant barrier? Or radiant barrier against the roof, then fiberglass batts?

Hi, I just had a shed delivered today and it has the radiant barrier on the inside of the walls. I'm happy about that but I was planning to insulate and put up drywall to make it a nicer studio space. Will it be ok to do that? Or is it better to only use drywall and no fiberglass roll insulation in between? Thanks!

Question: Can this be installed on an unvented (hot) roof? Cathedral ceilings, r-30 fiberglass batts, no ridge vent or soffit vents.

Great test

I live in a hot tropical country. If I am going to use an insulated standing seam metal roof (with built-in 1 inch polyurethane foam) for my house, do I still need to install a radiant barrier (with an air gap) on the battens?

I saw one advertised with R-7 on amazon, so, I knew something was amiss. Dog leashes I bought for a 90 lb dog from amazon, would not hold a 30 lb dog, an electrical cord bought on amazon melted, etc, etc. amazon has no controls. No check. No Accountability.

The reason I support this is what I did in a simple mobile home years ago,, I was poor and decided to put aluminum foil over cardboard and put in almost all windows , the foil rejected the sunlight's heat and the cardboard was insulation , it was like a ice box in there and reduced electric bill substantially

Does Attic Foil cause an increase in roof temperature and humidity due to the lack of air flow?

Hi guys, which product would be the best for me? I'm in Seattle, own a three story townhouse (tall and skinny like a chimney), built in 2013 with lots of insulation on the attic floor. Lots of shade from trees on the west side. May through September here are 70-85 degrees (with usually a week or so touching 90), 60-70% humidity. The third floor can get killer hot. Thanks!

I had a ridge vent installed when I had my roof replaced. Does this mean I can have the electric fan removed? The roofer didn’t say anything about it. Thanks.

I think I'm still going to do this, I think this foil product would be cheaper than the Reflectix or whatever that commercial product is that is the dual layer Mylar with foam in the middle. A consultant guy at hardware store was trying to convince me I didn't need to spend the money on a reflecting product because I had positive forced air ventilation and could just put down Styrofoam sheets on tops of rooms to isolate them from attic heat. Although we did just have a new roof put on and roofer added several new deck vents we never had before and that has helped amazingly with cooling up there. But there still is some issues when it gets really intensely hot in summer or deepest cold of winter. The attic spaces aren't gigantic, so I think I could do this foiling without it costing a fortune. I need to do a rough estimate of square feet of coverage and get a quote for how much rolls I'd need.

I like the attic foil idea. I'm putting in a gable fan in the 1914 Craftsman bungalo on th east side. There's a window with screen on the west side and a louvered vent in the peak on the north side. I have a great deal of large Oak and Catulpa providing good shade except for the middle of he day. Sunny days with no wind need some help too pull that hot air out. The foil will be interesting to see about knocking down the radiant heat. One convcern would be reflecting that radiant heat back up to the underside of the plywood decking, underlayment and shingles and causing excess heating of the roofing materials.

Very true about those soffit vent holes being cut too small. A subcontractor tried to do that to me. I complained and the contractor made them do it right. If you bought a house with soffit vents, check to see if the holes are cut correctly.

my house dosent have a soffit nor a ridge vent. Am i still able to add this without getting any hot moisture on the wood behind? Meaning for a home that does not have a ridge vent where does the hot air go since you mentioned it goes to the top.

You confirmed what my roofing contractor said. I was thinking fans and he suggested ridge vents.

the overlapping ins wrong. if there are any roof leaks, the water will drip into the ceiling, to fix this overlap the uper insulation onto the lower, above it, so it creates an ability for any moisture to flow from top tobottom and out the wall,

does these AtticFoil's Radiant Barrier can be usefull in cold winter season ?
