Default That thin radiant barrier/insulation stuff

Yeah, but watch the static electricity. You wouldn't believe how much can
build up.

Could be mistaken, but I think there was a discussion here a while back
that this stuff is not as effective as claimed. Perhaps the argument was
that radiant heat is only part of the equation.


For my part, I intend to use the radiant barrier stuff closest to the
fiberglass, then put a layer of styrofoam insulation board with its own
aluminum coating. I've only got about 3/4 of an inch that I can insulate,
but I figure that this will give me the best I can get.
