Its usually Mylar and it is to reflect the light so you get penetration into the sides of the plants.

If you're on a budget, emergency blankets (usually found in the camping dept at department stores) can be used.

I got lucky. I have a barn on my property and after I moved in I found a large mylar shade that use to hang in a double west facing window in my houe. I cut it into sheets and stapled it to some plywood and built a box. So far so good. There are some other reflective material on the market but imo Mylar's top.

mylar is good, but expensive. I believe it reflects either 95% or 98% where as black and white polly also known as panda film reflects about 90%. I prefer panda film because it's thicker and way more cheap. I bought a 50x10 foot roll for $50, where as mylar would be about $100 for the roll of same size.
