    1. lee feder says:

      i live in new england. my biggest question is not whether or not to use a radiant barrier, but how much insulation works best with it? The house i just moved to has very little insulation in the attic. Should i beef up the insulation first or only add the radiant barrier?

      Thanks

        Lee,

        Radiant barrier is NOT a substitute for standard type insulation. Check your local codes to see what is recommended for your area.
