Had in our house in Fla. for 15 years. Its just great..also when you replace your a.c. try to get a zoned system.. If you use Radiant Barrier make sure you have ridge vents

As a stand-alone product it is worthless. When used in conjunction with proper insulation it is great! But instead of a foil, consider a spray-on such as Heatbloc-75 or LoMit. A true RB should be installed on the attic ceiling, NOT on the attic floor. Keep this in mind. Also, if someone tells you that RB cools the air temperature in your attic, don't believe them. It cools surface temps, not air temps. So by cooling the surface temp of the insulation, it makes everything more efficient. Please contact me if you have any questions!
