You can add a layer over the floor if you want. I've had many customers do both with excellent results. Just keep in mind the first layer provides the biggest bang for the buck. If you can do it yourself and only have the material cost then go for it. If you have to pay someone then the second layer is probably not worth it.

I have installed the radiant barrier on my rafters, but would it also be helpful to install it on the floor of my attic. I seem to lose a lot of heat. I seem to have enough insulation in my attic, but with as much space as there is up there it seems like I'm heating my attic in the winter. Will a barrier on the floor create moisture in the summer? Is the barrier on the floor better for the winter and the rafters better for the summer? Thanks for your help. Kevin in Sugar Land (Houston) Ed- Thanks for the video.
