Apparently tests have shown that insulation under the roof doesn't make it any hotter. Go figure.
My test went into the summer but there's not much to check there.
The radiant barrier is by Reflextic and is basically foil lined bubble wrap. It has a small R value and is meant to be stapled on such that there is an air gap between the joist and the roof. I'm hesitant about this one because it seems that there would be no R value in this setup and would not work.
If I do the insulation route, I can install the styrofoam channels between the insulation and the roof which will help with airflow.
Not sure where to buy the insulation yet. The only stuff you can get online is the Reflectix but I do not have proof that it will work. I've heard it mentioned as a good preventative for ice dams and it seems easier. I was hoping another would have more input.
