Radiant Barrier in the shop...

[harryball]

Well, we've been working steadily (code for painfully slow really) and among other things we have the radiant foil installed. I'm actually surprised a little at how well it does work. We had several comments from others that it has made the shop much cooler inside than before.

I opted for AtticFoil without the bubble wrap because I am going to add conventional insulation.

Installation was not too bad but I can't say I recommend double stacking those baker's rack scaffolding sections. :eek: That was fun.

I'll be adding this stuff in our house as well during the winter when it's cold in the attic. Overall I'm happy with the effect.

Yep...It's hard to believe how well it works. I used TekFoil from FarmTek. Shop is done...Barn is next. The double bubble worked so well, there was no need for traditional insulation, which saves a lot of grief if you have a pole barn type metal building. You have to make sure that you leave a gap in front & behind as they instruct, or it won't work.

We tried out the new convection oven for TG last year...36# Turkey was fully cooked in 2.5hrs - way ahead of schedule. A 'tent' made out of this stuff kept the bird nice and hot for 3hrs...It works amazingly well for keeping or coffe or tea hot too!
