A radiant heat barrier may be installed under a wide variety of roofs between the roof supports. In one configuration, the radiant heat barrier is provided in the form of a plurality of boards that are each erectable into a barrier tray having at least one high-reflectivity, low-emissivity surface. The surface reflects a large percentage of the radiation energy back in the direction from where the radiation originated. Each board includes features that allow the board to be formed into different-sized trays. In one configuration, the trays may be configured to fit between the rafters of typical residential construction. The trays include tabs that allow the tray to be mounted to the supports.

The invention claimed is: 1. An insulating tray used as a radiant energy barrier between roof supports; the tray comprising:a body, a pair of longitudinal sides disposed substantially perpendicular to the body, and a pair of end walls disposed substantially perpendicular to the sides and the body;the body having a high reflectivity, low emissivity adapted to reflect thermal radiation;a primary connection tab associated with each of the sides; the primary connection tabs adapted to allow the tray to be mounted to the roof supports;each primary connection tab being movable between first, second, and third positions with respect to the side; the primary connection tab being parallel with the body in the second position; and the primary connection tab being perpendicular to the body when the primary connection tab is in the first and third positions; andwherein each primary connection tab includes a score line that allows the primary connection tab to be folded; the score line being disposed parallel to the sides.
