Adding an inner substance to separate the reflective surfaces will improve the performance of temporary shield insulations. Prodex Total Insulation: 13/64 inch, 5 mm closed cell polyethylene foam covered on both sides with .0012-inch (00.03mm) aluminum foil facing -- not only prevents radiant heat transfer, it also provides R value and vapor barrier protection.
Thin foil insulation (foil only) is composed of two reflective surfaces with a scrim mesh for strength. It works well on window covering shielding you from heat generated by the suns rays. The temp difference can be significant on a hot day. If your application need expands beyond window coverings, read below:
