If your budget is really low, suggest you paint the walls by yourself (or hire a worker) using the new Nippon Solarguard (for roof and wall). Approx RM160 per 5 liters. The roof maybe get someone to do it because of safety issues. This is the cheapest solution already. Never tried it before, but apparently can reduce up to 5C for roof and wall. They had a demo in the last property fair - with attached sensors to prove their point. I also touched it myself (just in case they cheat the sensors) and you can feel some difference in heat absorption. But if it's a brand new house, maybe not so worth it to re-paint. Can also try tinting windows. If you got wall, means Semi-D / end lot / corner unit. Use the space to plants trees  This post has been edited by KeNNy: Aug 6 2009, 11:51 PM |

The solar guard says 10 years protection - longer than teh traditional 5 years one.
If insisting on insulation, dream is right - go for roof first. The side walk you can still do something about it e.g. planting trees, tinting windows, etc. It's also not the major cause of heat.
Although bear in mind roof insluation will help ground floor a little bit, although the main function is to insulate heat for 1st floor.

QUOTE(PJusa @ Aug 9 2009, 08:54 AM) easyperson, please note: cellulose can also be used to insulate your wall. measure the temp from wall inside and ceiling inside to see which transmits more heat. most likely the roof but just to be sure measure it over several points during the day. temporay spikes dont mean its the main culprit. then insulate the bigger one of the two first and check what you have to pay for the second one. my walls are thick and painted just white. they dont get warm. the windows did. so we replaced the windows with class A UPVC (insulated white alluminium will do too i guess) windows, double glazed and laminated with raybarrier. works like a charm. can have the sun shine on the wall brighten the room and the aircon doesnt even have to work to keep the room at 28°. nice and comfy Wow. You really can be a green consultant PJusa, can you elaborate a little bit on the Class A UPVC double glazed windows? Are these 2 panel windows (front and back) with air insulation in between one? |

QUOTE(Calmman @ Aug 19 2009, 09:25 AM) @easyperson @Kenny In your opinion, which is the best ANTI HEAT PAINT? Have you used any of them and what is the result?? I've not used the solar guard by Nippon before. Only seen it in exhibition and miniature demo unit. But mention it because it's probably one of the cheapest solution, especially if you're having an old house and the roof needs re-painting anyway. |
