I'm using an indoor outdoor thermometer to monitor the difference between the wall temp and the temp of the air about 6" inside the curtain. So far the difference is negligible. I theorize that the space blankets need to be sealed to wall (eg continuous tape to seal in the hot air).

But the whole experiment does have me thinking about using the leftover space blankets to make a cover for my black car lol! Some muslin fabric (to strengthen the space blankets and keeping it from blinding passerby), duct tape, rope and tennis balls should do it. The tennis balls would go inside the windows to secure the cover to the top of the car. I have one of those cars where you roll the windows up by turning the key in the driver side door.
