Radiant barrier roof sheathing is a great product that will reduce your power bill.
There are just a few manufacturers that make this unusual type of roof sheathing that has a shiny, perforated aluminum foil/craft paper laminated to one side of it.
For simplicity’s sake, I’m focusing my attention on Georgia-Pacific’s Thermostat radiant barrier product, not to mention that all Georgia-Pacific wood product samples are available to me.
I happen to manage the facility that sends out all of the samples and marketing collateral to sales representatives and their customers. That makes it kind of handy for me to get my hands on “sample size” pieces that you can easily hold in your hand.
I’ve got a sample unit of Georgia Pacific’s Thermostat 7/16″ OSB product and it’s pretty cool. The specially designed aluminum foil/craft paper that is laminated on one side of the OSB has tiny perforations every ¼” to allow the product to “breathe”. This deters mold growth.
