First off let me say im not sure reflectability is even a word but I hope you get my point....So yea would a shower curtain work?? What would be some other cost friendly alternatives? I was planning on using a few to section off a portion of my grow room for the plants.
 
i imagine it would work - but flat white paint would probably be easier and just as good if not better.
my two cents...
 
How transparent are they?? Any light that seeps through is wasted energy. Any opaque surface painted matte white will work. I made portable walls out of scrap paneling and they work well. Good luck.
 
The reason I was thinking shower curtains was because the room is not sectioned off at all (an attic). I was going to section off like a 4x4 section and hang the curtains from the rafters...I guess I could get some 2x4's or something but that would be alot of time and work...idk. I hear alot of people talk about emergency blankets, I dont really know what they are tho, would those work?>
 
Probably don't need 2X4 framing,2X2 would be fine.The covering can just be light weight stock painted white. If you want to hang curtains just get some panda plastic and hang it white side in, that works OK..
