Ra-flect™ Radiant Barrier is a Double-Sided, Tear-Resistant, ENERGY STAR® Qualified, Class A/Class 1 Fire-Rated, Clean and Non-Toxic Aluminum Radiant Barrier. It is made only from top-of-the-line materials, and with a reflectivity of 98%, Ra-flect™ Radiant Barrier reflects virtually all of the radiant heat from the sun away from your residential home or commercial building, saving you money on your utility bills. When compared to the radiant barrier spray-on paint products (which only reflect 75%), and other sheet radiant barriers (thinner and non reinforced), Ra-flect™ Radiant Barrier outshines the competition. Our radiant barrier is 5.3 mils thick with a reinforced polyethylene grid making it nearly impossible to tear, allowing it to hold up under the most treacherous conditions.

I would do it on the rafters, never the floor if possible. Will keep the attic cooler and won't have to walk on it if you need to go in the attic

[bluefly46]

I'm going to remove the OSB off the floor to install it closer to the living space... as much of a pain it will be, I'm sure I'll see increased benefits. My neighbor asked "why not the rafters?"....It is because hot air rises and meets the cold attic floor.

What if you did BOTH? Staple material to the rafters and also have it rolled on top of the insulation?

[Garynoles]

I live in NE Georgia where it gets HOT! , so I would install this product stapled to the roof rafters rather than over my insulation as you did for this home in a "cold climates"?
