- mylar
my home is over 100 degrees in the ceiling. the engineers who built this palace put the lightbulbs in an open cavity so that the 105, 110, 120? degrees ceiling pours into the room. I thought mylar would be a good material to insulate this since it would allow some light to pass through while insulating. however, i started to notice an odor after many days, and began to feel ill. this post is meant as a notification to be careful of using mylar as insulation. Idk if there are online articles. Do not take this as a 100% absolute peer reviewed fact but just a notification. There are many different types of mylar materials.
hutchpd also told me that mylar balloons alter sound. I tried this and didn't notice any change. I am looking for an online website or video which instructs me on these matters. I am also looking for a cheap alternative to mylar insulation.
