Would this work outside to place in the ground to help keep underground pipes protected from ground frost?
Asked by Judy December 30, 201710
AnswersNo. This is foil faced denim. You would not want it to get wet or it will have no insulating value.

Asked by Mike August 3, 201810
AnswersI have a Smokey Hollow food smoker. It has double walls. When heated to max the exterior temperature does not exceed what I can touch using my hands for a reasonable amount of time. I use this to keep it insulated in cold temperatures but also keep the smoker away from other combustible things. The 150-200ish constant temperature does not appear to be a problem but stay safe. More things made in China/Mexico are of lesser qualities and though they may pass a US/UL testing they simply won't last as long or as well as you would hope.
can this be put in a basement ceiling to drown out sound from above
Asked by nana January 2, 20189
AnswersNo! This will not help at all. Carpet with thick padding on the floor above will help significantly. Beyond that, you would need to get into major and expensive architectural renovations to the ceiling.

Asked by k1917 June 17, 20188
AnswersYou would be better off buying either 4 ft. x 250 ft. Silvertanium Reflective Attic Insulation Roll or Reflectix 48 in. x 125 ft. Heavy-Duty Perforated Radiant Barrier. They would do a better job on keeping the heat out.

AnswersNot necessarily. Depends on how much moisture is in the wood of the cabinet, the humidity of the room and how often the HVAC cycles. This will help slow it down but may not prevent future warping.

I don't have other experience to compare this product with other brand but it delivered a great job. I bought it to setup a cooling system for my mining rig i covered my shelve with this and hooked a ventilation fan to suck the heated air out. This is very nice and thick it provided lots of insulation which cooled down my garage so efficiently. You get so much of this i still have lots of excess material to use on another project. I would definitely buy again as needed.
works in Texas
June 14, 2018
I wanted to get the electricity bill lower by cutting so much of the heat in the attic. This product has good reviews and was in the price range I wanted. It works as good if not better than expected. For the DIY people, be sure to get an electric staple gun. it makes the job so much easier. I did have to take my time in cutting the amount needed. next time I'm ordering to size needed.

January 3, 2018
I ordered this and the 24' roll. They are both easy to work with, basically feels like jeans, no itch. The smaller 48"x6' that i received was much more dense to the feel, by 50%. Don't know if that was a fluke or not. I got this in an attempt to keep noise down from a basement room via the ductwork. It seems to work reasonably well for that, maybe a 4/10. Thicker is the better of the two. But thermally it's hard to tell the difference. Both are the same result. If say 9/10. It's medium duty grade IMO. It's old pants and foil after all. But did it's intended job admirably with a little sound muffling as a bonus.
Exceeded my expectations.

December 26, 2017
I purchased this to use as a sound dampener in a basement room, to try and keep some sound from traveling to the upper floors, via the heat duct and cold air return. It seems to have worked fairly well for that purpose, does it's job as thermal insulation just as well. I also purchased the smaller 6 foot long roll as well, this was significantly more dense than the large 24 foot roll (see pics). But overall this is a good product that seems to do what it's intended to do. It was very easy to cut and fit where I needed it. It is easy to handle and affixes with simple metal duct tape. It's old blue jeans, so there is no itch at all. It's kind of interesting to look at as well. My only negative was the significant difference in the density of the two rolls of the "same" product. But it hasn't seemed to affect its intended purpose of thermal insulating. I was hoping to achieve an outcome outside of its intended purpose. That's where the density difference was less than ideal for me. Otherwise it's solid and i would recomend it.

Used it to line a car trunk. Placed fiber side down and pieced together with foil HVAC tape. Cuts easy with scissors, helps prevent items in trunk from sliding around or making noise. Not really the purpose of a radiant barrier but an inexpensive solution. This product looks close to the OEM automotive insulation, expect it to perform about the same but will check once and a while for moisture absorption or premature failure.

I bought this as an alternative to dyno mat and it was worth it. I used it in a 1958 Corvette project car and it covers the whole floor. I am also going to use it inside the doors and trunk as sound and heat dampener.
