I had a radiant barrier installed last year and they insulated the lanai for free. The barrier its self will lower the temperature by 10 to 15 degrees.

Even on the hottest days I can work in the garage and even go up into the attic storage above the garage, could not do this before installing the radiant barrier. Had Munns do mine.
