Ever wonder if a radiant barrier is worth it?

Hey there guys n gals, have y’all ever wondered if adding a radiant barrier to your shop build is worth it? Well, I’m in the middle of building my shop, will be insulating it with 2” foam board and was debating on whether it’d be worth spending the extra $1500 to add radiant barrier as well, so I decided to do an experiment.



Now, as I mention in the video, I wonder if the results are a little bit skewed due to using the 1” wood siding vs metal sides like the vast majority of people would do, so the next experiment/video I do, will be using metal siding. In the future, I’ll also be doing a comparison of radiant vs no radiant, without the 2” foam. Hope y’all enjoy the video and I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts on the results, if y’all think it’s worth it and any experiments y’all would like to see in the future.
