How much does spray on radiant barrier cost?
Spray on radiant barrier is not only expensive but performs only half as good as rolled radiant barrier. I was going to have my attic sprayed until I went to a seminar on rolled radiant barrier. They showed a video of test done in the same attic with one side sprayed and the other side rolled radiant barrier. They had a digital heat reader on both products and the difference was almost 20 degrees in 5 minutes. So I went online and found some rolled radiant barrier called ECOFOIL from www.ecofoil.com. Easy to install and really keeps my living room cooler.
Can you put a radiant barrier over an old shingle roof and put new shingles on top?
No. A radiant barrier requires an air space to function properly. If the radiant barrier s sandwiched between two solid objects, then the heat will be able to conduct right through it. If you would like to apply a radiant barrier over your existing roof, one solution would be to use spacers or furring strips over the existing roof and use either a tile or metal roof over the spacers. If you must have asphalt shingles, then the radiant barrier would have to be applied in the attic space. A similar issue came up when people wanted to install a radiant barrier under concrete where it would have any air space. In a letter to a manufacturer, the FTC wrote, "It is well accepted that reflective insulation and radiant barrier products must have an air space adjacent to the reflective material to be effective." I am including a link to this letter below. http:/www.rimainternational.org/pdf/ftc-letter.pdf
