Hi all,
We are in the middle of remodeling our home, and are having
difficulties sourcing the following material on short notice:
1/2" plywood roof sheathing with radiant barrier applied
Are there any sources in the SF bay area (we are in Palo Alto) that
might have this in stock or available in a couple of days? Note that
this a plywood product is required -> several places have an OSB
product available, but the OSB does not meet the structural
requirements of the design.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

In the SF bay area, why bother? I could see it in Houston.

You could always have a radiant barrier added between the rafters. (Might
even be less expensive).

One way I have seen it done is to have the radiant barrier sprayed in the
attic, that is done a lot in retrofit, and seems to work pretty well, the
plywood is still the way to go in new const though.

Hi Craig.
I'm not failure with a spray-on radiant barrier, do you know anything about
it?
Wonder as to how uniform it would be?
