Invention: Radiant barrier ventilation prevent ice dam, ventilate roof and reflect radiant heat for homes

Hi everyone,
I invented this product and I do have patent pending but however I am stuck at marketing stage and need help with some ideas how to bring it to people’s home.
What it is: It is made from foam and Mylar( reflect 97% radiant heat)

Where to apply?
Apply between roof rafters under plywood sheathing. Sprayfoam can be apply under and still have airspace for radiant heat and air ventilation from soffit to the ridge vent.
It can be made 24” center or 16” center. Expandable to fit tightly between the rafter without too much effort.
Lightweight and diy install friendly.

Why we need this?
Typical roof for summer is extremely hot and in winter if you dont have cold roof ice dam can occur from the heat leakage melting the snow.
If you have sprayfoam insulation, if any roof leak it’s almost impossible to detect where and you may have to remove either the roof or the spayfoam.

How can this safe the home?
the radiant heat keep enter your home regardless what type of insulation you have. With the mylar ability to reflect all those radiant heat out and the airflow to bring those hear and humidity vent out of your home.
If you have a roof leak, you are most likely to able to detect it by looking at the color from water build up at the soffit.

I have a friend Corbett from Home Performance did a review for me on youtube if anyone interested to see. It is at 2:30 Minute
