Do I need a a radiant barrier or bubble insulation for my my attic?
There is no need to purchase and install the more expensive reflective bubble insulation for your attic space as it will end up performing exactly the same as a radiant barrier which is almost 1/2 the cost. However, you certainly can install the reflective bubble insulation in your attic space but stapled to the roof decking or underside of rafters ONLY. You cannot lay a bubble insulation product over the attic floor because it is a vapor barrier (not perforated like our radiant barriers) and will trap moisture that rises from your living space thereby causing condensation and potentially causing water damage in your attic space. If you want to install one of our products on your attic floor, you must choose one of our perforated radiant barriers: Standard, Premium or Ultima.
