Thermadeck- anyone know anything about it?

Snakeoil, or useful in a retrofit application for my 1921 1.5 story in Minneapolis?

    Erik,
    There are at least two companies selling products called ThermaDeck. One is a radiant barrier for roofs, and the other is a type of SIP floor.

    If you are talking about the radiant barrier for roofs, it would not be a wise investment in Minneapolis. Radiant roof barriers are not needed in cold climates. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Yes, I was talking about the one for roofs. The roofer suggested it primarly as a way of adding ventilation above the existing roof deck.

    Thanks.
