lostkangaroo: When the box arrived the weight kinda surprised me, wondering if someone had shipped me a load of rocks straight from the prison camps in China. Not the case though, the foil is surprisingly thick and really durable. At least durable enough to move around in the tight confines of my rather large attic spaces. It took a bit of planning with the old rubber noodle but it was easy enough to figure out when an idea came to mind. Don't install from the roll and cut smaller pieces off, duh, I almost embedded my knife into my skull as I slapped my forehead for not considering such an easy solution to the heavy roll of silver shiny foil. Needless to say, install this when it is cool or you will know what it is like to stand at the bottom of a waterfall perched on a 2x4 in the middle of summer.

john murphy: The material is stiffer than several other brands of similar insulation. That makes it much easier to install in a ranch house attic with a low roof line. I believe we have noticed a difference right away on hot sunny days. Not a huge difference, but a worthwhile difference. That makes me glad I installed it, and glad I installed it myself instead of paying thousands to have it installed.
It cuts easily with good quality scissors. I had no problem with tearing. I did all the attic work without help, but my wife did help me to reduce the weight by re-rolling it into shorter sections (about 40 ft) to reduce the weight I had to drag around the attic. The product is very clean when it arrives so we set up re-rolling on a table in the house and wound it around foam swimming pool noodles.

Steve: I built a shed in 2018, all was fine but it was real hot inside it in the summer, so i put this product on the underside of the 2 x 4's, so a 31/2" space, did that in 2021, spring of 2022 everything was mildewy smelling, i called the seller, he said it had nothing to do with his product, i decided to add it to the walls in the fall of 2022, but i left a incandescent light on all winter, today i opened it up again, I've gone in once a month throughout the winter, today was a hot day, the mildew smell is very strong, there are lots of vents on both ends and alone the roof line, so i decided this product is the cause, so we unloaded it today and removed it completely... three years no smells, then after using it forvtwo years and everything stinks, must be the culprit. Doubt they'll do anything, I'd suggest not buy this product... maybe have a fan run year round, otherwise no good.

Donna J. Anderson: We are in the process of installing this product in the attic of our home in FL. We only have the attached garage done so far, and plan to do the entire attic. It's easier with two people to hold the pieces in place and staple them on the bottom side of the rafters leaving an air space from the soffit to the ridge vent for the heat to escape. It looks like perforated heavy duty tin foil with fiber running through it so it does not tear easily. The temperature does feel lower when I am under it vs. when I'm just under the roof decking. We won't know the full impact, if any, until we get the entire attic done. We can only work up there a few hours in the morning before it gets too hot outside, so it's going to take us awhile.

Martinko KlingacikMartinko Klingacik: I got an opened spool which was obviously partially opened before and sloppily rolled back as can be seen on the picture.
The roll size is 1.5" smaller than advertised so I am not fully confident of I got all 250ft of material I paid for.
The material is highly flammable and can be ignited with a match stick and the fire spreads even in the downward direction and not only in the direction of hot toxic gas.
Material has dimples that ate not penetrating the material fully and thus it stays air and watertight. See my test picture showing the material holding water in the upside down bottle for 30 minutes with no water penetration.
Edit: I ended up spending an hour and 2 drill bits to make hundreds of holes in the spool to make it breathable. I would not buy it if I knew these facts.

Bill: I used this under a new steel roof I installed on my house. Works as expected; I am very pleased with this material.
