I've used diamond mylar in the past. I wrapped a custom clone "tent" frame with it. I also used it to line the back wall of my greenhouse at the last place I lived (the greenhouse faced south, and the back wall was that of another building).

I bought a 100' roll of it a few years back, and still have about half left for any other projects I might get into.

It's durable and it does what it's supposed to.

i've been a white paint guy since i built my room. gonna have a bit of down time before the next grow so i'm thinking of upgrading. i think even an extra 5% reflectivity (if not more) vs paint will be worth $40 bucks.

The mylar goes up in a snap, can be used to seal a room if all of the joints are taped properly, and can be taken back down and reused elsewhere if needed in the future.

i did read some of the reviews that said to put it up with velcro. makes putting/up taking down easier.

i tried that 1mm mylar once but it was crap. if you looked at it wrong, it would rip or crease.

The 6mil is quite durable, equivalent to a good vapour barrier poly.
