I've searched for two days now and can't find the name of, nor the web
site for that thin radiant heat barrier stuff that some folks swear by
to help some of the heat out of boat cabins.

Thin aluminum and -as I recall - bubble wrap? Or maybe it was a closed
cell foam and aluminum?

Who's got a better memory than I do?

Thanks

Don't recall the exact name myself, but I bought two big rolls of it, quite
cheaply, from my local hardware store, to try out on Essie's overhead when I
get a round tuit. I've seen a similar product advertised in the boat
magazines which is significantly more expensive because it's made for boats.
I think the bubble wrap in the marine variety is filled with air drawn from
the sea shore, or perhaps taken directly from the blowholes of small whales.

My recollection is that there are only a couple of manufactures in N.
America. We installed it in the attic... works great. I'll try and locate
the info and post it.

For starters, here's a good link:
