I'll be painting the old part of my house soon. Trying to make the 1955 construction more comfortable and efficient I will be peeling off a few pieces of siding to blow in insulation before a serious caulk and seal. Afterward painting it with a ceramic bead radiant barrier additive. There are several out there, I spent about $50 for enough to treat 5 gallons paint. Has anyone else tried this?
There are arguments why this should or shouldn't work but for $50 I feel its worth a gamble.
