We installed the product on the attic ceiling, covering all joists, crossbeams and rafters with heavy-duty staple guns. The product is extremely durable and easy to work with. Me and my wife built the jig (per your website) with a few minor modifications. We used galvanized pipe and elbows with the PVC pipe for the roller. The jig is a must and I highly recommended it. It is worth the cost (very little I might add) in time and effort.

I have to tell you a story...My wife and I were in the attic and we started at the peak on one end of the attic ceiling. It was approx. 125 degrees and the going was slow. As we were putting the product on the attic roof, we noticed that on the side without the barrier, we could hardly breathe as the temperature was excruciating. The side that we were working on was considerably cooler. We could actually breath under the barrier side. We also had to have our evaporator replaced in the attic as our new home had a slight leak. I went to check on the technicians who were installing the new unit at 3:00 pm and I ask how they were doing and they said we can't believe how cool it is up here. They stated the last two attics they were in were so hot that they thought they were going to be sick. Prior to installing the radiant barrier, I wanted to cool the attic down and I was thinking about the spray on barrier as I heard someone in the neighborhood had it done. I thought I would try an attic gable vent, so I went to the Hardware store and bought one with a thermostat. I installed it and had to program it to turn on at 110 degrees and it continually ran between 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm. After finding your web site as well as others, I decided to purchase from you and I must say....Your site was the most informative and the delivery time was unbelievably prompt. We installed the product and the attic temperature rarely exceeds 92 degrees. The gable fan is now worthless. Our average electric bill without the radiant barrier in April, May, and June was $140.00. After installing the radiant barrier our electric bills have been reduced by 50 % even in the hottest months. We also have double pane windows, high efficiency bulbs exclusively and we keep the thermostat between 71 and 73 degrees. Start installing in the early am and quit around the hottest times. Resume two hours after nightfall. Drink plenty of water and Power Aid if installing during the hot months. You will probably need a step ladder to reach the peak if installing on the ceiling of the attic.

I have bragged about this product and your company to all interested parties. They are skeptical until they hear my testimony. We love the product and the results.

Installed 2500 square feet of Ultima laid on top of pre-existing R-40 fiberglass attic insulation in my house with truss roof construction and a metal roof. Immediately noticed a stabilization of room temperatures and a reduction of AC usage. Radiant heat gains previously experienced from the metal roof are finally neutralized. Am expecting similar positive results during the upcoming heating season through improved reduction of living area heat loss.

In summary:

Quality of material-excellent

Ease of installation-despite expected truss construction challenges, quality and forgiveness of material made installation doable for a one man crew.

Purchase/delivery: excellent, couldn't be better.

Satisfaction level: highest I can rate.

Motivation: Typical home improvements offer the homeowner reimbursements only upon the sale of the home. Insulation improvements are unique in that the homeowner will realize monthly reimbursements in the form of reduced power bills, and a reimbursement at the time of sale. Also, the general feel of the house now having stabilized temperatures is very nice indeed.

Am I glad that I installed a RadiantGUARD barrier: absolutely!

I purchased your premium grade Radiant Barrier on 8/16/07 and had it installed shortly afterward. Having spent a good portion of my career as a Quality Control supervisor, I was use to analyzing data, so I decided to evaluate the performance as best I could of the installation of your product..

This graph shows the temperature difference with and without a radiant barrier at various times of day during the month of August, 2007. After reading numerous articles on how a radiant barrier can reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss, I decided to test the effect this had on my home. I used wireless thermocouples so as to collect the data at one location. The placement was: 1 - Outside facing north under a patio cover, 2 - Inside the center of the house, 3 - In the attic under the blown in insulation and touching the ceiling wallboard, and 4 - In the center of the attic�s framing space (hip roof). The Radiant Barrier was laid over the existing insulation and on top of the AC ducts. The parameter of attic flooring was tacked and mark with tape. Two men with minimal experience took four hours to complete the job. Preliminary indications are that the AC runs less, temperature throughout the house is much more uniform, with no warm or cool spots which was a problem before installation of the radiant barrier. After seeing what severe effect the sun has on the attic, insulation, and heat infiltration, short of shade trees, a radiant barrier does make a lot a sense. Energy usage is down 20 -25% so far.

To all who read this: This product works! I cannot begin to express my satisfaction, near elation, about the effectiveness of this product. I purchased the Premium Radiant Barrier to lay over my attic floor upstairs.

The current insulation is blown-in and likely the original insulation (home built in 1976). Our upstairs bedrooms were consistently 8-10 degrees warmer (summer time cooling) than the main floor. I looked in to purchasing a de-humidifier to help with the mugginess and temperature, but the cost of machine and cost to operate turned me off. I found Radiant Guard through a Google search, and I'm thrilled I purchased it.

Upon installation, the results were immediately felt. During mid-afternoon, typically when the upstairs is hottest, I went up stairs to find that I could not feel a difference in temperature between there and the main floor.

I have noticed the a/c kicks on less often, though I cannot report any utility savings at this time due to the fact I have no bills to compare yet.

I'm confident there will be a savings, though the comfort level upstairs is savings enough for me. It's the best $130.00 I've ever spent.

Thank you Radiant Guard.

I live in Cincinnati Ohio and bought the Premium barrier. I laid it directly on the attic floor over loose fill insulation. The big surprise to me is the difference it makes in the Winter. We turned the thermostat down two degrees during the day and are very comfortable. We turned it down six degrees at night and sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night because we are too warm! One word of advice, do not skimp on the plywood platform when you are working in the attic. I did, and put my foot through the Master bedroom ceiling! But I have a great wife, she was only mad for about 5 minutes.

Thanks, great product!

Radiant Guard's website exemplifies the perfect model of online purchasing that eludes the vast majority of it's internet contemporaries. Aesthetically perfect blend of refreshing clarity, understated strength, and %100 functionality blend seamlessly, affording fortunate clients a precision buying experience, from start to finish that's second to none! The product I ordered arrived with astounding speed and in perfect condition despite UPS destructive efforts. If only Radiant Guard's business approach were the world wide STANDARD for internet merchants. Not only would individual consumers benefit dramatically But I venture to speculate economic revitalization nationally as well as globally and extending nobility into the atomic structure of humanity itself! Thank you Radiant GUARD!!!!!!!!!

In May of this year I got up in the attic with a friend and we installed the Standard radiant barrier insulation purchased from you all. I was impressed with the thickness of the product. It was so much more 'substantial' than the product we had previously installed.  Our utility bill has lowered an average of 600 kilowatt hours each month for the last 3 months.

We decided to install a radiant heat barrier, based on what we read on both commercial and government web sites.  I ordered the medium weight barrier from the Radiant Guard website. 

I had assumed the radiant barrier would have to be babied going up, and would be easy to te
