could you use this to cover up a vapor barrier or does it need to be in front of a solid wall?

I would say it needs to be in front of a solid wall. If you are applying to a solid area, and there's a small area that is like a hole or something, you could prob still use it. It has glue on the back and needs something to stick to.

There is a vent on the top of the unit that the instructions implicitly say to not cover, so I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to enclose it entirely.

I would find a tape especially for electrical purposes, because of its aluminum qualities it has the potential to conduct even a small ammount of electricity. The 3m websites also states it's good for shielding but they refer to heat not electricity.one thing you could do is lay electrical tape on top of your electronics and then lay this tape on top .

Not much. It reflects some heat and acts as a vapor barrier. Condensation is an issue too with this product. I went out and got some reflectix after I bought this and it works better. Look into that first, home depot sells it.

1/4-inch bubble pack with metalized Mylar film on both sides. Would be good as or with a vapor barrier. I used short pieces between the joists right under the eaves to maintain air flow from the eaves vents into the attic.

It can be placed anywhere, the surface is not hot. the heat comes out the bottom and is distributed by a fan at the bottom. Just don't put anything beneath. You cannot see the wall, just the fake flames.

The barrier is breathable so,as far as I know and have read, it will work well for the space you wish to use it in!

Well I used it to cover metal vents to stop noise from passing through and it stays stuck to that. I think if you did not try to stick anything too heavy it would work.

Use at your own risk. While the plastic face mask is rather thick, it is plastic. Depending upon how close you plan to get to the heat source, I personally would not use this to deflect heat

You wanna use this outside to prevent water from coming inside your house,basement or garage. It becomes like a barrier

I haven't tried it on a wall. I think it probably would need a non porous surface such as glass.

It should be about 4 inches from the wall for air flow. Air is circulated through the filters. There isn't a visible mist like a vaporizer but it comes out of the top.

If it is a through the wall you need a sleeve. The sleeve allows the condensation to drain outside.

I'm sure it could cover the sides and front of a stove, but I personally would not put it anywhere near the burner units since it is a film, which has the potential to burn or bubble up. I don't remember if the product information addressed this issue, and I wasn't concerned since I was using it on the front of a dishwasher.

I would not use this for a permanent wall covering. We used it to make a fake fireplace for a Christmas play we did. It stayed on pretty well and we just glued it a little and tacked it.

As the ad says it is a radiant barrier. It is primarily designed to reflect ultraviolet rays in the summer which would normally pass through to areas below thereby reducing the suns heating effect. As far as condensation, there are two types of this material, perforated and solid. The perforated, as I under it, is intended for use where moisture might build up such as in attics where insulation is already installed. As far as increasing the warming effect it may reflect heat, which would normally radiate into the atmosphere, back inward, but how much heat I do not know. I am sure the manufacturer could give you much more detailed information as to ratings and such.

This device generates heat so it needs to be mounted in a ventilated metal box if it's going to be visible. I have mounted these inside cupboards mounted to the side wall and on top of cupboards. I always shim the device so that air flow is all around it
