If you dont have alot of money to put into your grow room like me, you will start searching everywhere for the cheapest but also reliable supplies you will need. I found this at walmart for $2 - $3 bucks in the camping section. Its made out of Aluminized polyester, and IMO its just as good as mylar, but cheaper. Its a good amount for a couple bucks also. 1 to 2 packages of this will cover your whole closet grow room. Its 53" x 83" and it can easily be cut with scissors to fit your exact dimensions.

This stuff is 93-95% light reflective, flat white paint is 84-93%, and semi-gloss white paint is only 75-80% light reflective. So its a tiny bit better lol

Nice post ...kid, but you are 20 years too late, you will find tho that flat white is more reflective

sure, and after you painstakingly tape/glue whatever, those to the walls ensuring you get every last wrinkle out...and it gets dirty and turns dull instead of shiny a huge pita to remove it all. Only to put it all up again??? I think not.

with paint....just add another coat.....

Yes the thermal blankets are cheaper than paint but painting is so much easier. Both work...it's just a matter of personal preference.
