AtticFoil® vs Metalized Film/Mylar® Type Products - There's A BIG Difference In Quality!

What's the difference between AtticFoil™ Radiant Barrier and Other Radiant Barrier Products?
Mylar is a metalized film (this is the same product used in a chip bag and inflatable balloons) and it is not designed to last a long time. Over time mylar gets brittle and falls apart. Pure aluminum won't break down over time because it's a different material than mylar - it's just pure aluminum!
Watch to see Ed demonstrate the unique properties of a pure aluminum radiant barrier that set it apart from cheaper Mylar based products. Order a sample of our premium radiant barrier products on our website: www.AtticFoil.com

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.

Thanks for the comments about how good www.AtticFoil.com is. Yes, it will last many year in the direct sun compared to the Mylar type products.

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

Very little dust will actually end up on top of the www.AtticFoil.com when installing cellulose. And, no matter how much dust you get on top the bottom side will always work due to the emissivity quality. More info here: ruclips.net/video/zUHYiAn1oUc/видео.html
