E Shield Insulation

Actually there's sufficient "ir space"within the fiberglass. laying the RB on top of FG will not cause it to conduct. I have proven this time and time again with a heat lamp.

Otherwise you are 100% correct

I've been installing the e-shield product here in Fla for 2 years and all my customers see a 30-40% reduction in their energy bills once it is installed i swear by this product.

We use the "2 ply" RB with fiberglass in between the RB being a in the ohio region i am not sure the how effective it is in this area for "conventional" attics. we use it mostly for "Cape Cod" type of home and have seen great results.

Yeah it's more usefull in the southern regions.

i guess thsi stuff is like having lowE glass in your attic? if reflects radiant heat from the heater back into the home and in the summer reflecting the radiant heat back away from the home?
in the attic,does this stuff go on the floors or just the ceiling? can it be used anywhere else in the house?

ASInsulation

i firmly believe that the reflective barrier is going to be far more effective in retaining a cooler temperature in your home then trying to achieve a warmer one...in the case of trying to warm the home, it won't be cost effective...down south, where your cooling season is longer and more extreme, definately worth the investment

enforcer

is the radiant barrier best layed on top of the insulation in floor of attic or in rafters?
in the northeast, can radiant barrier be detrimental in any way?
what if you have a small roof leak, can the radiant barrier get ruined if its wet?

HomeSealed

Either or. Depends on the which product used, and the circumstances of the home.
