Sorry, but J Jay's got it wrong. Reflective insulation
properly installed is an excellent choice for radiant
heating. The "cool air theory" doesn't incorporate
the basic concept of heating with radiant units -- that
heat transfers across air spaces by radiation, and does
not heat the air space. The aluminum foil surfaces
reflect 97% of that radiated heat back to its source.
If, over time, the air space gains some heat and the
insulation is properly installed, it will not "leak"
out of the cavity.
