Tech Shield radiant barrier roof decking questions

[DOHC427]

Hello,

I live in the South where it is good and hot. My contractor is planning to put
OSB decking on my new building and I'm thinking about upgrading to Tech Shield OSB decking with radiant barrier.

I did a search on here and found a few things but still have questions.

Anybody have Tech Shield? If you do, do you think it is worth the bucks to upgrade? Do you have any cell phone or wi-fi issues because of the Tech Shield?

Any other opinions or info? I know I can't do spray foam if I use this stuff but I've pretty much ruled out spray foam altogether.


Thanks

you probably have already pulled the trigger on this but:
in my home I had installed radiant barrier (foil rolls)...house is 38 years old. After the self install and tight attic crawls...oh how I wish they had the prefab bonded osb radiant barrier built with the house.
I have it in my garage as well. I will be adding a whole-house fan in the house and garage (later on).
I do not experience any problems with cell or wifi problems.
I do notice an improvement in the cooling of the attic.

I use it on all our shed builds and it definitely reduces the heat inside.

I have attic foil in the attic of my house. My attic used to be as high at 135, now its never more than 15 degrees hotter than ambient temp. I put one strip between the truss's of my new pole building and it was 30-35 degrees cooler than the metal without the foil.
