Hi All-

I ran across this forum when I was researching using space blankets to insulate a house. Google pointed me here and it looks pretty nifty so I joined. My Dad raised me to always turn off lights, compost, recycle, drive slow and fill tires to save gas, etc. I didn't realize until years late that was eco/ green stuff? I still just think it's common sense. I drive a 2003 Jetta TDI and my best MPG is currently 52 (650 miles, one tank) .

I'm currently obsessed with insulating my tiny rental on a tight budget. Even after searching the forums, I haven't found the answer to my question; Will taping space blankets to a wall provide any amount of insulation? Even a fraction of an r?
