I have seen a material, I'm not sure what it is called, but it is a white net made out of closed cell foam. It is pretty thin, maybe 3/16" thick.

I have seen it used as a packing material for fruit and fragile ceramic ware.

I was thinking it would make a dandy standoff for the reflectix-type stuff to reduce radiated heat in walls & floors.

You could probably even use fish net, it's contact area would be really tiny.
