The 48 wide radiant barrier is our most popular size roll. For most attics this is the only product you will need. AtticFoil is tear-proof and will not tear when you are stapling it up. The 1,000 square foot rolls are about 6 inches in diameter, so you can easily carry one up into the attic. Orders placed Monday - Friday (excluding holidays) by 3pm CST will ship the same day.
The 48 wide radiant barrier house wrap covers an 8' wall with just one seam! AtticFoil House Wrap can be used as an air barrier (not the same as a vapor barrier) and as a secondary drainage plane in older homes. It also creates a back-ventilated system that allows for maximum drying of the wall assembly.
SuperPerf 45 wide radiant barrier is our newest double-sided roll. This product is an AtticFoil exclusive and was designed for over-the-insulation installations inside attic spaces in cold/mixed climates. SuperPerf is a punched foil (vs the traditional pin-perforations) which allows more water vapor to pass through the foil's surface; this foil virtually eliminates the possibility to trap moisture underneath it.
The best pure aluminum radiant barrier foil insulation available; AtticFoilblocks 97% of radiant heat. Radiant barrier AtticFoil acts like shade: the more coverage the better. Your home will be more energy efficient and comfortable. Compare us to our competitors; don't be fooled by the name of their product!
These are actual pictures sent in to us from customers who have installed radiant barrier AtticFoil on their own. They went up in the attic and got it done! Most customers end up getting about 80-90% coverage - even if you miss part of the attic, installing radiant barrier AtticFoil will still be very effective.

This product was a joy to work with! Its durable enough that it never ripped or tore while pulling long sections between the trusses! About 30’ sections. It staples up nice and I was amazed at the room temperature difference after it was all installed! It dropped from 85 degrees to around 72 degrees! I recommend it to anyone new or old construction!

Great experience. Order was placed and shipped immediately, packaging was excellent and protects the integrity of the product. Product is of very good quality and install was easy and simple. Product does what it is supposed to do, infrared thermometer showed a 10-14 deg reduction in surface temperatures- (foiled vs non foiled). Foil was installed on roof joists leaving a aprx6" air space in between foil and underside of roof deck. Follow the simple directions and you will get the desired result. Tip- Pre measure the length that needs to be cut then in an open space like your lawn set up cinder

Your product has turned out to be the best investment in conserving energy I have ever made. At this point I only have about 60% of the rafter area covered with Attic Foil but I will finish the remaining area this fall/winter. I am installing it by myself as that is my only option. Your installation videos and support were very helpful.
Mid July to mid August is typically my highest billing cycle for electricity so this is the bill I was waiting for. Included are screenshots comparing this year and two previous years.
Sincerely grateful,
Harvey Wilson

I installed the Attic Foil around mid-February when the weather was a lot cooler here in Tampa.
The roof I have wasn’t the most fun to work with. It’s Pyramid shaped and the East/West sides were a pain in the butt to work with due to the stair stepping of the studs. When I tried to use a 4’x10’ strip it proved very difficult to work with by myself. If I ever do this again I will work with a helper or pay someone. I ended up cutting the foil into 4x4 squares which made it a lot easier to work with.
An electric staple gun is a must. Other than the positing of the studs the installation

Attic Foil radiant barrier has decreased our summer attic heat by nearly 10 degrees. We've also added a ridge vent.
This is a quality product which is perforated (to reduce moisture build-up) and has fiber (plastic or fiberglass) reinforements to aid in installation and stability.
This is a DIY project but I suggest you get a working partner. The product was installed by me and Conditioned Airwaves (832)265-6188, an HVAC company, in the Houston (TX) area and they did a most professional job.
We over purchased and was charged a 20% restocking fee on returned overstock. I highly recommend
