Look like this is the stuff to use. And you don't have to figure out which side goes up, since it has the reflective aluminum on both sides. :)

It took me only one roll. FYI,
I installed mine left the heat shields off for a bit and the floor never got hot directly over the cat. I would highly recommend this product.

Hi,

Me too: One roll. I did it over sound mat.

No heat whatsoever from the outside in.

Ciao,

Did you guys use the tape that they sell or something else. And please talk about how you adhered it to the floor (and other surfaces). I know some use spray adhesive, and some just lay it down without any adhesive.

Thanks.

for mine I simply cut it to fit, then laid it in, then put my home made carpeting onto then rubber mats et voila :mrgreen:

Nothing has moved or bunched up since :wink:

The last thing I wanted to do was to re-do all the tar/carpet removal I had just done in future years :roll:

Hi,

Spray adhesive for me, in case I didn't like it.

I have a roll of Jute if anyone needs it.
