The present invention provides a flexible heat reflective radiant barrier that may be conveniently installed on a structure without the need to simultaneously replace rigid construction decking panels. The flexible heat reflective radiant barrier is for use as part of the outer-protective water-shedding materials of a structure or building, such as underneath shingles, tiles, or siding. At least one heat reflective layer is adhered to at least one layer of a felt roofing material. The flexible heat reflective radiant barrier may be disposed in rolls for case of storage and handling. The rolls are easily applied to rigid construction decking panel substrates, such as plywood or oriented strand board construction sheets of structural 2×4, 2×6 side walls or the like, as a part of the exterior water-shedding material.

1. A flexible heat reflective radiant barrier for use as part of an outer surface of a structure, said barrier comprising:at least one reflective barrier material layer, wherein the barrier material is a metallic foil; at least one flexible felt material layer; a plurality of apertures through at least one of said reflective barrier material layers; a plurality of apertures through at least one of said flexible material layers; said at least one reflective material layer is secured to at least one of said flexible felt material layers, by adhesives, epoxies, fasteners or indentions; wherein said flexible heat reflective radiant barrier is secured to the outer surface of a structure by nails, brads, screws or staples; and wherein said flexible heat reflective radiant barrier is covered and in contact with a final exterior surface of shingles, stucco or siding. 2. The barrier of claim 1, wherein:said heat reflective radiant barrier is configured into rolls for storage or transport. 3. The method of providing a structure, having an exterior decking layer, with a flexible heat reflective radiant barrier, said method comprising:at least one reflective barrier material layer, wherein the barrier material is a metallic foil; at least one flexible felt material layer; a plurality of apertures through at least one of said reflective barrier material layers; a plurality of apertures through at least one of said flexible material layers; securing at least one reflective barrier material layer, together with at least one flexible felt material by heating, rolling, pressing, fastening with fasteners or gluing with adhesives or epoxies to form a flexible heat reflective radiant barrier; securing the flexible heat reflective radiant barrier to said exterior deck layer by nails, brads, screws or staples; and installing a final exterior surface of shingles, stucco or siding over and in contact with said heat reflective barrier. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein:said heat reflective radiant barrier is oriented with a said reflective barrier material layer proximate said exterior decking layer. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein:said heat reflective radiant barrier is oriented with a said flexible felt material layer proximate said rigid construction decking. 6. The barrier of claim 1 wherein the metallic foil is an aluminum foil product.
