Is a solar blanket the same thing as a fire blanket?

So i was told to get a fire blanket to line my grow room with because they are cheap and made out of Mylar. however, i was only able to find a solar blanket that is supposed to be really reflective as well its just made out of some kind of polyester blend i think. is there a difference? do you think what would be fine or do you think i should keep looking for the mylar? any input appreciated!
 
It's rather difficult to tell actually. Mylar is biaxially oriented PET if that helps, I think it is the metallized stuff you want. Other cheap sources of it include "emergency blankets" used to conserve shock victims body heat. Hope this helps. :)
 
yeah that's what this thing is for.. conserving heat.. except i think it is for hiking/camping purposes. i'm going to give it a try.. if my plants suck then i'll change it up. thanks for the help
