Install BTUBUSTERS ^tm Radiant Barrier or BTUFOIL ^tm Reflective Insulation on top of existing deck,
install 1" x 4" " nailers / strippers " on top. Either new deck can be installed, or metal panels can be installed
 directly to the nailers. Nailers are run either vertical or horizontal depending on your new roofing panels.

In this application, the owner ( an Architect in California ) was re-decking the entire roof. Due to the original construction of the home, there was no attic space and no insulation initially installed in the roof of the home. This lead to extreme heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. The owner decided to install one layer of BTUFOIL ^tm Reflective Insulation, then strip, install one layer of BTUBUSTERS ^tm Radiant Barrier , re-deck, felt and install new shingles.

An alternate method of using these products is to install one layer of  BTUFOIL ^tm Reflective Insulation or BTUBUSTERS ^tm Radiant Barrier on top of newly felted roof deck, install the nailers / strippers horizontally and install new metal roof panels.
In most applications only one layer of either product is needed.

ROOFS - UNDER NEW PLYWOOD ROOF DECKING / WHERE SHINGLES ARE TO BE INSTALLED

In new construction and re-roofing an existing home where the plywood roof decking is being replaced, there is an alternative, 
   which offers the advantages of location 2 while providing the construction ease of location 1. This technique places the radiant
   barrier on top of the roof rafters (or trusses) before the roof decking is applied. It is installed so that it droops 1 1/2 to 2 inches
   below the upper surface of the roof structure.

When the roof decking is applied, an  airspace separates it from the radiant barrier in a way similar to that of location 2. This  
   airspace also can be vented separately from the attic.  As with location 2 the most reflective radiant barrier surface should face
   downward toward the attic airspace.
