Since all the rafters are up, the next step is to install the roof decking plywood. We chose to use radiant barrier OSB sheathing. It is 7/16" thick and one side is covered in a reflective foil material. This foil provides a radiant barrier and reflects back radiant heat which helps keep your interior space cooler. From what I've read, it can keep attic spaces up to 30 degrees cooler. I think this will come in super handy in the summer, especially in the loft areas. Surprisingly, according to the manufacturers, the foil is supposed to be installed facing inside.Below are some pics of this weekend's progress.
