    dont get me wrong...I use Mylar in every room and cabinet I have. The next best thing IMO is the panda plastic black on one side white on the other, then flat white paint.

    Nah, aluminized Mylar isn't THAT reflective. The data I've seen suggest between 90 and 95% reflectivity, depending on quality, which is still pretty damn good. 98% or better reflectivity is only achievable with special 1/4 wave optical coatings, which wouldn't hold up well on the Mylar.

    cool so you paint the white side in white emulsuion and that adds to the reflective qualities I must tell him, as the Mylar he sells is matt white on one side anyway, I never though off painting it I thought it was ok the way it was

    mylar vs tin foil the big question

    monster..it might but i would not waste a penny on it.........Mylar is in my opinion the best reflective material that is available at the mo. and im pretty sure 99.99% that these guy's who supply it know better than most people on this site as they do it as a job and make a very good living at it, results speak for themselves

    ps we cannot know all things,,,,,know what I mean
