Thanks for the quick delivery of both the Prodex 2โ€™ and the 4โ€™ wide insulation. It was easy to install and surprisingly light and easy to handle. Make sure to recommend the reflective tape to seal the seams; itโ€™s also easy to handle. All in all Iโ€™ve had a great experience installing the product, and Iโ€™m looking forward to discovering its insulation results. Thanks for a great experience. John

This product is great! I purchased the 48" Total product to install on the rafters of my garage before I put the metal on. It was easy to install and is very strong. You cannot tear it and with only using staples it holds quite a bit of weight. The reflective tape has got duct tape beat by a mile. I soon plan on purchasing enough 24" product to install on my garage walls. Michael

I was extremely happy with the ease of placing an order and then to have materials shipped and arriving in the time I was told it would just made it even better. The calculation to figure how much to buy was spot on and am very happy I had what I needed for my building. The ease of installation is sooo much better than fighting the itch and mess of standard fiberglass, so far very satisfied with the prodex insulation and buying from insulation4less was a very good experience. Will be nice to have when temps get high, have already noticed a big difference with it. Thanks!

Insulation 4 Less - I use a good amount of the Prodex product. It is flexible and easy to use. Ever since I found the product, I've continue to purchase it from Insulation 4 Less. They ship it quick. I usually receive it within 48 hours of placing my order. Their site offers a great selection of installation instructions. I became a Gold Member and enjoy the discounts it affords my business.

You guys I thought you'd like to know I have installed prodex in a metal 8x10 shed in order to keep some things from freezing this winter. I have to say i am totally impressed. II had a 7 vane oil filled heater in there at the same settings before, during, and after the install. Before, I was holding 3-6 degrees warmer than outdoor temperate. Ouch! After the install it holds 15 to 20+ degrees! I am including a pic of the weather station's graph comparing outdoor temps and shed temps. THe install occured across the christmas/New Year break. Feel free to use it. If I got this performance in a shed. A house would be well worth the investment. Thanks guys!

The information on the web site for determing how much insulation to order was very helpful.I am doing a 40' x 60' x 12' high metal pole building. Ordering on the web site was very easy and confirmation order #s and shipping tracking #s were received within minutes of my placing the order. The shipment came by Fed-X a few days later. . Installing the insulation is really easy, a ruler, marker ,straight edge (level) and pair of scissors to cut and trim, to hold in place I am using a pneumatic staple gun with plastic discs.To do the ceiling it took 2 of us to get the insulation up and positioned between the rafters and 2x4 supports. The shorter walls I did by myself.Taller walls are easier with 2 people to help position and trim,I am running mine behind the posts and it takes a bit more trimming and fitting. The seems are being taped. Results, well the weather here in Kentucky during Jan. has been crazy one day it was so warm we could stand outside in shirt sleeves, within a day the temperature dropped to freezing. Before insulating we burned a wood stove in the building and had to stand within 3 feet to stay warm and you could feel the cold transferring off the metal and coming in.Now with the only the ceiling done,front wall with garage doors and about a quarter of one side wall we can burn the same stove and walk around in the building and be comfortable, where the walls arent insulated yet you can still feel the cold coming off them. Overall I am sastified with the ordering and shipping of the product, the ease of installation and the insulating properties. Ralph

I got the prodex total to insulate my 30x40 steel shop and man did it make a difference in how quickly it took to heat it up in the morning. I could tell when we were putting it up that it was going to work. When we would finish a corner you could feel the temperature difference when you walked from the insulated area to the non insulated areas. It was very easy to put up also it is so light that it doesn't take much to get it to stick to the walls. Another thing that we noticed is that the reflective properties if it made the lighting in our shop a lot brighter it caused the lights we have to reflect into areas that weren't very well lit before. Overall very satisfied with the product would definitely recommend it to others.

I received the prodex insulation 48 inch X 175 feet. My wife helped me by aligning and handing tools so i could install the prodex on the ceiling of my two car garage. It required concentration, a ladder ,a measuring tape, a knife, a staple gun to install it. The ease of handling and flexibility made it much better to work around ductwork and plumbing. It has greatly improved the lighting effect of the area and inhibited the heat transfer above and below it. When the weather gets much colder I look forward to the savings in electricity and gas. Thank you

Hi Insulation4less, Ever since I first ordered your products about 7 years ago, I have been pleased with my purchase of your Prodex Total. It has been the best decision we ever made, in our home we have 2x6 walls, I have wet blown cellulose in the walls with 1/4" foil/foam/foil Prodex on the outsider 1/2" wafer board and under HardyPlank siding. and 1/4" Prodex Total under the sheet rock. Because of that our home maintains mid 60 degrees year round, you can't beat that, we are adding to our home, remodeling our existing home and will be adding even more insulation to our home which Prodex Total is key to our remodeling, I tell anyone I can about Insulation4less.

Placed the order, received an email receipt, received an email with tracking information, received the order faster than expected and the order was in great shape. The product looks good.

I just completed insulating the foundation walls of a crawlspace of a friends home. Your product installed easily (much more easily than rigid foam would have). The effects were immediate, I could feel my own body heat radiating back as I worked... I used a piece to lay on on the cold ground while I worked and the radiant effect was obvious. Compared to the other materials I considered using (batt, rigid board, etc) this provided greater R-value, went up faster, provided a complete air barrier (which we were seeking), and will I am sure last longer. I have a century old home (poorly insulated) and plan to use the product under a new layer of sheetrock I am installing over the old plaster. I expect it to work great as both vapor barrier and insulator. If I had known about your product 8 years ago, I would have also used it under my new floors. Will do so in my next reno project, for sure.

This product showed up at my door promptly after it was ordered. I installed this product using the directions on your website in my living room with a (22 foot) vaulted ceiling. I covered the prodex up with carsiding and I use a wood burning stove for heat in the winter. It has been very difficult regulating the temperature in this large room over the past few years and came acrossed this product online. It absolutely works! This weekend it was around 30 degrees outside (on the average) and I was in a t-shirt and shorts in the my living room because Prodex does what it said it was going to do!!!!! I am considering doing my pole barn with Prodex! Thank you, Ryan

Installation was fast and easy. Thanks for a great product that performs exactly as you said it would. Before insulating with Prodex the heat was so great (100+) I could not stay in there more than a few minutes at a time in the afternoon. After the installation it is actually pleasant to work out there. I will be reordering this fall (when it cools down) to do the attic spaces in my home and garage.

โ€ฆI purchased 7 rolls of Prodex 48 4 years ago and used it in my 3000 sq ft home that I had built in central Texas. I installed the Prodex 48 to the underside of the roof rafters and only put in 6 inch batt insulation in the ceiling joist. Since installing, my average electric bill in 2011, the third coldest winter and the hottest summer on record, was $168 per month. I had 1 roll left over so I decided to place it on top of the ceiling joist that has 6" batt insulation. So far in 2012 my average electric bill is $107 per month. Douglas G.

I initially purchase 3 rolls of your Prodex Total to insulate my 14 x 32 metal building. The building is out in the country in the middle of no place without any shade to protect it. With the current hot temperatures in South Texas the building would be unbearable by mid morning and I really needed to do something. After some research, I found your product, which I order and once received, I proceeded to to insulate the building. I started by insulating the top of the building whose metal was exposed to the direct sunlight at noon and once I laid 3 strips of 4' x 32' acrose the top it made a definite difference in the amount of heat coming thru. I bought some aluminum tape at one of our building suppliers in town but later found that my cost cutting wasn't worth it. The tape was not sticking and I was really disappointed. I decided to order the tape from Insulation4Less and taped the seams again and that too has been a success story. I have completely insulated the building and I am really satisfied with the results.

My son and I are building a post frame house. It will be used for rental for him and 3 other college students. First it is EASY to install. We wraped the entire building in the Prodex Total. On the walls we added another layer on the girts with air space and then another 2x on the insided providing a 1 1/2 inch air space on each side. So far it is very promising. As you know the U.S. is hot as blazes right now and the metal on the outside of the building is too hot to touch for long. The inside of the Prodex is barely warm! Danny Tennessee

Dear Insulation4LESS, We're so glad to have discovered your Prodex insulation product online. Here's our story... Our house's guest bedroom (2nd story, located above the garage) is 10ยฐ+ hotter in Summer and about the amount less in Winter compared to the rest of the second story rooms. This is mostly due to not having essentially no attic space. I researched different types of insulation online. Learning of many different types of good insulating materials, your Prodex Total insulation seemed to be a very good combination: thin, R15 rated insulation, and radiant barrier on both sides (which doubles as a moisture barrier). At a little over 5 mm thick and delivered in rolls, it appeared to be easier to install vs. rigid type insulation. We just had our house re-roofed this last weekend and at the same time, we had a second roof deck built above the guest bedroom. I had your Prodex Total insulation installed between the two decks. The temperature difference mentioned earlier was in the least cut in half. We can now use this room for guests instead of storage space! We are currently getting the siding replaced including installation of your Prodex insulation. We expect it to bring down the temp difference even more. I plan to use the same insulatin under the flooring of a trailer on a second property to help prevent the water pipes from freezing, but that's another story... Thanx so much for having such a legitimate product. We're sold on it! Regards, Norm (Murfreesboro, TN)

We are converting a forty foot hi-cube container into a workshop and your product fit the bill perfectly. First of all it takes up a minimal of space and performs four functions at the same time, in the end it was cheaper and quicker to use your Prodex Insulation then any other method available to us. Secondly it went up quite quickly, we elected to go from the floor up the wall across the ceiling and down the other wall in one continuous piece. We cut all the pieces ahead of time and rolled them them up, we made a roller with a long handle put the roll on it and it took only two people to put up the insulation. We are not finished with the project yet but already we notice that the insulation is keeping the container warmer then it had been without it. Great product, if I ever have a need for insulation in the future I will look no where else but you for my insulation needs. Thank You Dave

Very fine product. I'm a solar installer. I use Prodex Total to wrap existing hot water heaters so the solar heated water isn't wasted. Much better than the shiny, double sided aluminum "bubble wrap" sold at Lowe's which I've tried, which doesn't work nearly as well as Prodex. I also use it to insulate under floor joists which makes for remarkably warmer floors.

I cut the insulation to needed length, rolled it up and carried it up to the attic through a trap door and laid it on top of previously installed 1-2 inches of spray foam insulation. It was relatively easy to do and had an immediate and noticeable effect at decreasing the loss of heat. The effect was much greater than that of the spray foam, much easier to install and much cheaper. I intend to use more on my own house (this was on my daughter's house in Seattle), and also to insulate the floor joists with the 16" Prodex, stapled up, once I install radiant heat tubing...

I like your product. My metal pole building produced vast amounts of condensation when ever the weather changed. I needed a vapor barrier and some insulation. The roof perlans in my metal pole building are spaced more than 24 inches apart, so I used your 48inch rolls and cut them with extra to allow stapling. The effect is a nice looking arch between each perlan and the installation was relatively easy. Now the building is so much nicer inside, my tools stay dry, no more 'rain forest' condensation. Thank you for an effective solution to my problem at a very good price. Ed

I have been using Prodex as a heat and sound barrier under our metal roof, which was put on about 4 years ago without anything under it except 1 1/2" T&G in an exposed beam vaulted ceiling. Living in Hawaii, we get heavy downpours plus periods of intense sun. The outside temp does not get high, usually around 80 to 85 degrees, but the solar heat would travel through the metal roof and the 1 1/2" T&G and into the house. By removing the roof and placing the Prodex under it with 3/4" purlins for spacers between the roof and T&G, we were able to decrease the amount of heat transfer by 9 degrees!!! Furthermore, the sound from the heavy downpours was reduced from a loud, tinny noise to a very muted sound. All in all, definely worth the effort.

So far so good with the Prodex. I built my own 30' yurt over the last 2 months and used Prodex for the insulation layer. Our first night in the yurt it was 6 degrees outside! My heat source is a smallish size wood stove. With the stove at a good temp I was able to get it up to 70 degrees inside. With the stove damper partially closed over night it will hold the temp to around the high 50's/low 60's. It hasn't gotten above 25 outside in the week we've been in the yurt. I'd say that's pretty good for 1/4" thick walls and roof. I still need to do some sealing around the windows and floor so should be even better.

I was VERY pleased with how easy it was to install the Prodex material in the small cabin I am building. Working entirely by myself I was able to cut, and staple TWO FULL LAYERS under my metal roof in only TWO DAYS !!! The material was so light that I was able to cut full width sections, and by using a simple closet rod/dowel "drape"each section over it while I went through the process of stapling the tabs to the rafters. I hope to add to my cabin in the Spring, and when I do so I will be buying more Prodex for that room as well. It's rare that a product lives up to it's claims these days, but this one certainly does...Regards, Bill

I used your product on the inside of my Quonset shop. (wood arches) I ran the sheets vertical. I have a wood heater, as well as a 50 foot radiant tube heater. It is amazing how well this product works. I was not quite finished the insulating procedure, this winter, and you could see on the outside of the building where the insulation stopped. All the snow was still on the roof that was insulated. The areas that were not done yet, had melted away. I used Prodex on the inside of my well house as a vapour barrier. and R 12 fiberglass behind it. I used a radiant cove heater on a thermostat. No problems with freeze up, and always dry when I checked it during the winter. I used it on a dog house with a heat lamp and a thermostat as well. The light was off most of the time.... until the pups chewed the curtain to shreds. Inside the shop with the wood heater going, and when you stood in the corner oppisite the stove, you could feel heat reflecting on the back of your neck. within 20 min, you could work comfortably in a T shirt. I plan to purchase more of this product for my next project.

My husband and I wanted something to replace the rodent infested fiberglass insulation in our crawlspace. We also wanted something that we could install ourselves and would not attract critters or mold or put fibers into the air. I did some research and settled on prodex. We finally finished the crawl space. It took longer than I thought and was more work than I expected. We are not as young as we used to be and the crawl space was really uncomfortable. Hard on backs, knees and elbows. But it is finished and seems to do the job. We also used it to insulate our well house. Works great and we can keep it from freezing with a candle if we need to. We use it in icechests to keep things cold longer, even in the back of a pickup in the sun. My husband lined a box for our outdoor cat. We also cut pieces for our picture windows. We pop them over the windows when our power goes out in the winter. Helps keep the firreplace heat in the house. We rave about it to everyone we know. Our next project is the shop. Of course it is not the only thing on our list.

I installed Prodex in my 40'x40'x14' Steel garage when I bought the building it came with the 4" thick 6' wide white vinyl that was hard to work with because of it's weight and bulkiness. The weather was rainy and it was just my wife and I installing the insulation and steel sheeting. Trying to find something easier to work with I found your product I ordered enough to line the entire garage it was grate to work with. When the garage door company cam to install the garage doors on January 02/2010 the temperature outside was 10 degrees and windy. After they had the door tracks fastened enough to hold the doors in place they light there portable gas salamander I was impressed with how quickly it warmed to 40 degrees and healed the heat after they turned it off.

Prodex total is a great material to use for insulating ducts, pipes, ceilings, walls, basements, attics, water tanks and lunch boxes! We have used it in all of these applications. It is easy to cut, form and tape. It provides good insulating power, does not rot or collapse, does not irritate eyes or skin. It earns my Highest rating for bulk insulating material.

We are still using it (two roles left over and some scrap) on some accessory structures next to the 28,000' barn. We used it on the entire roof and in key areas of wall and bases. Its pretty easy to work with unless you have 140+' rolled out and a breeze comes up! My biggest issue was on receiving it from fedex and there were holes in every roll. Your staff told me that there was extra on each roll so we went with it and used/worked around tears and taped some of them up (which left some tape marks on the ceiling) but we still had two rolls left over so now looking back I wish we would have just not used the material with holes in it. Web site was easy to use and tutorials were pretty good. Anxious to see how it works this summer and next winter!

love Prodex: I bought a lot. I have insulated over ยฝ my attic with it. I also bought the double stick tape from you and the foil tape. Here is what I think about installation โ€“ it is easy. I had fiberglass insulation with a poly vapor barrier covering the insulation and rafters. I stapled the poly to the rafters and slit the poly between the rafters so as not to trap moisture. I ran the double stick down the poly covered rafters and then applied the Prodex. What I learned: the Prodex ideally should also be stapled through the flange into the rafter to help hold it tight. This not only helps prevent it from pulling away from the double stick tape, but also helps the foil tape seal the seams without the 2 runs of Prodex pulling apart from each other. It is a great product. I can feel how much warmer the attic is each time I go up and the beetle infestation which used to come with winter has been significantly reduced โ€“ over 90%.

I left air space on both sides of the insulation, 1 ยฝ โ€œ on the inside and covered with liner steel, on the outside I have 8โ€ air space on the outside walls and 3 1โ€™2 โ€œ on the outside of the inside walls. The ease of installation and low cost as compared to any other insulation was the draw for me.

Hello from Canada! We have a 98 year old house that we are tearing all the paster and lathe out of. We were surprised when we tore the first room down, that there was NO existing insullation ever put in this house. There were just 2 layers of bricks, with studs set into the inside layer. With so little room to work with, we went online and found your product. We have now completed the second room and are beginning to gut the third. AMAZING - that's how we feel about your product. The incredible difference in going between the completed rooms and the rooms not yet torn down, well, if we wouldn't have experienced it we never would have believed it. Just put another order in to complete the remaining 6 rooms. I think we're going to be a repeat customer for years to come, and have told lots of friends about your product!

It's been quite an experience working on the duct insulation. Just some words of advise for those that are working on the duct insulation for the first time like me. Before you applying any insulation to your ac/heater duct system, make sure you are applying a sealing material (duct sealed) first. Then, you can apply the High R insulation, duct wrap. It works very well for me. While the heater/AC is running, the thermostat needle is going up/down faster before the duct works was insulated. High R insulation is very easy to apply since there is no need to wear respiratory gear. The higher the R value the better it will be for your central AC/heater system.

We build our roof completely on the floor, the pick them up and set them, thereby eliminating any 'acrobatics' up in the air. The best advise I can give anyone, is to do all the work and preparation that you can while the parts are still easiest to work with --- on the floor, rather than trying to complete their work under stained conditions, later. Pull the foil and hand tighten it, and do not use any fasteners that are not absolutely necessary, thereby eliminating any extra places for water to come in, giving a good water protection barrier.

Tim Wright, Oelwein IA Ran out of space on review just submitted. I also wanted to let prospective customers know that I'm so happy w/the product, I've purchased more to do a rental house I own. My neighbor told a friend of his about Prodex Total Insullation, and he decided to purchase it instead of Tyvek. I had a partial role left from my last project, and only needed about 1 more role. My friend said his friend thought he'd have some left and may be interested in selling it to me. Well no luck w/that, he hired a contractor to install the Prodex and his new siding. The contractor liked it so much he took what was left. So I just placed another order. You have very little scrap. You can use nearly 100% of the role, just may takes a little more tape to piece together sections you cut off from gable ends. But Prodex is generous with their 6 pack tape packages, I had plenty. Being conservative, I hated to throw any Prodex away. I even used some to line a 5 gallon pail and lid for fishing. I put my nite crawler container in the bucket on some Ice, they stay cold all day fishin in the beating hot sun, and I even have Ice to dump out at the end of the day. Get creative, this stuff is too good to throw any scrap away. There are countless other things you can use your leftover Prodex for. If you are reading this as you are researching what to use for house wrap or building insullation........you can stop your research. No need to look any further. Place your order today and start saving on utilities. You will not regret it. THANKS PRODEX

After much research and t/w contractors, 2 yrs ago I purchased 2,800 square foot of Prodex Total Insullation install on my house I was re-siding. What initially sold me was, I had a tellemarketer from a Cedar Rapids company call to ask if I needed a price quote on Windows and siding. When the salesman showed up, I'd already started installing my new Anderson windows, and he asked what I had him come for. I said to pick his brain. I wanted to know what "the best house wrap" on the market was. I'd heard all good things about Tyvek, but if there was something better I wanted to use it. He said you are in luck. I've been a salesman for years, and recently went to a seminar, we have a new product we are using on all our projects where the homeowner wants a superior product. What he showed me was a perforated foil backed polystyrene insulation board sample. He explained the value of the foil to RADIATE heat, the product will pay for itself in 1 or 2 seasons. I asked if I could buy it from them. He said no, it's for our customers only. That's when I went to the internet and found you. I hesitated at spending .30/sq foot vs. .15 for Tyvek, but am I ever glad I did. The 1st thing I noticed when applying it was I had Dark brown T1-11 siding which I went over top of. I left the corner by the gas meter as it was (had to wait for them to move it), but wrapped the rest of the house. The next day, it was 98. I felt the T1-11, siding must have been 120 in the direct sunlight. I then touched the Prodex, it felt cool. Then I ran my hand behind the Prodex above my gas meter, that siding felt like A/C was cooling it, 20 degrees cooler. When I finished the entire house, I noticed on 98-100 days our upstairs bedrooms stay 20 degrees cooler. When I was siding my house, I had a friend ask me what the H____ is that tin foil stuff. I told him all about it, and helped him order 8 rolls do do his house and his dads. We are all 100% satisfied. THANKS PRODEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st time I used Prodex. The 1300 sq.feet attic was 36" High at the highest point. The framers were off by up to 1"spacing the rafters. 48" width didn't make it some places. The attic became cooler as I progressed with job. Big difference, I loved it. The leftovers I'll use for my cars and for camping. I am recommending Prodex to everybody I know. Easy to cut, to shape, to install. No itching fiber. That attic would be hard to insulate with standard 6"glass fiber. I am glad I found you.

I did a lot of research on the net: I am a retired electro-mechanical engineer. I know what I wanted to do, but did not know exactly how to achieve it; until I contacted Insulation4less. The sales person on the phone was really nice, and very knowledgeable about my re-roof project. I am not a roofer; this was a project with a few friends; and a weekend. The old, (I know before 1900) house's tin roofing was removed revealing open purlins. The "double bubble" (He actually purchased Prodex insulation was tacked loosely draped just prior to installing each sheet of new tin. It was inexpensive (per r-value), easy, and fast to install. It really smoothed out the old warped wood, giving it a very nice appearance. After being installed in August of 04, in east Ohio, I noticed an immediate drop of several degrees upstairs. This winter it is really warmer without the gas bill going up at all, compared to last year. The old attic already had about 19-12 inches of cellulose, which I had blown in about 1980, so I really had time to experience the difference between old and new. I really believe this product has paid for itself already....

Number one when I have order Prodex Total Insulation from your company on line it has arrived in excellent condition and in a timely matter, both please me as a costumer very much. My house was cheaply built in 1972 using 2" x 4" stud construction. I purchase the house in 1991. Since I have owned the house we have slowly remodeled. In the meantime our utility bill was always high. We started to look at energy saving ways to insulate our home as well as install energy saving appliances. Last year I took a close look at the energy saving act and local building requirements for new built homes. Everything I got information on state 2" x 6" stud construction with updated insulating R values. Started in the attic. I had inefficient attic insulation. I knew my outside walls were not efficient. So I started looking into different ways to insulate the house and when searching on line I came across your product. My initial goal was to maximize insulating the house the most efficient and easiest way. I liked the insulating R values your Prodex Total stated. I installed the Prodex Total to the bottom of my roof rafters, keeping the air flow in mind, then I laid new rolled insulation over the ceiling rafters. My attic had initially an insulating R value of R-13. With installing Prodex Total and R-38 rolled attic insulation, I figured I now have insulating R value of R-65.5 for up loss and an insulating R value of R-58.5 for down loss. Huge difference to the comfort of the home. The addition of your Prodex Total to my attic allowed me to bring my 2" x 4" stud constructed house attic insulating R value to match and exceed 2" x 6" stud constructed insulating R values. The $250.00 was well spent and I am receiving my money back through lower utility bills. Now we ready to put new vinyl siding on the exterior of our home. Goal to increase the insulating R value of our exterior walls from 2" x 4" stud construction to 2" x 6" stud construction without major reconstruction cost. Getting it done efficiently and cheaply, as well as, minimize labor. Again Prodex Total is the answer. Our exterior walls started with R-13 rolled insulation with R1.5 black felt board with aluminum siding as a outer cover. Giving a exterior insulating R value of R-14.5. The goal was to reach R-19 or better. I ordered more rolls of Prodex Total and received them today. We are going to remove all original aluminum siding and black felt board and replace any damaged or sagging R-13 rolled insulation. Then install Prodex Total over the studs. Then install 3/4" x 2" firring strips over the stud locations and cover this with 3/4" insulation foam board. Then install 1/2" OSB board for an otter covering. Instead of plastic house wrap as a wind barrier to the outer layer we are using heavy duty tar paper as a wind barrier and then install the vinyl siding. Yes we are re-insulating the windows and doors to block the wind. To my calculations with this install process we will take our original insulating R value from R-14.5 to a value of R-25 far exceeding the R-19 for 2" x 6" stud wall construction. My calculation to reach an insulating R value of R-25 was R-13 rolled insulation + R-8.5 for Prodex Total for vertical application + R-3 for insulating foam board + R-0.5 for outer covering. Bringing a Total of R-25. Again the use of Prodex Total will be the difference.

We recently used your product Prodex to insulate our warehouse in southern California. We occupy a 3,500 square foot block building with a flat roof. For the past two years the summer heat literally made it impossible to work in the space. This spring we stapled Prodex to the rafters, creating a 12" dead air space and installed just two rotating vents to get warm air off the ceiling. We now enjoy a space that visitors think is air conditioned. On hot days the temperature differential from outside to inside has exceeded 15ยบ. In every way, your product exceeded our expectations.
