also one more thing - i seen a product sold online at homedepot that looked like the same stuff

it was being sold as insulation - and R value was very low compaired to just plain old batt insul.

frm what i have read its the air gap between 2 forms of insulation that protects you from this type of detection

so the theory behind the film is the air bubles in the middle act as the air gap

if you in the basement - the house above is a bigger air gap and better insulated
then you just need o worry about heat warming up the walls of the basement - which is why you dont grow on exterior wall

grow in middle of room - and then you can insulate that basement from the rest
