Cheap reflective material-Aluminum foil? | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 7/3/2009	Hello, Kinda silly topic, but I wanted to know if I could put down a quality underlayment over an existing plywood deck, then put down ordinary aluminum foil over the underlayment, then put down battens (if needed), then put the metal roof on top of that. Would the aluminum foil be beneficial for reflecting heat, or would it be harmful, or would it do anything at all? Thanks for input.
