The Reflectix Roof Insulation site list their R-Value as 1.1
Not a spurt, but I think toilet paper is 1.2 (2 layer Charmins)

The gained value is in the air gap between the surfaces, effectively creating a thermal barrier. So, in that respect, any porous and non-porous material, when properly installed will create the barrier.

My $00.000002
