Just wonder how about putting those office ceiling board under the roof. Will that help as an additional layer of heat shield ?

btw, what's the measurement per roll for Monier Radiant Barrier ?

Hi all,

Does anyone have experienced using Heat-Away Radian Barrier Reflector? There is a company quoting at RM 2.20 per SQFT for supply and installation.

All these different types of insulation, I see the thin aluminium foil type and the thick wolly type.
Do they all need to follow the roof gradient (more meterage) or can they be laid flat above the ceiling (less meterage) cool2.gif
Which type cheaper ?!? icon_question.gif

On the roof type for sure the most expensive, as they need to take out the roof tiles / wood out from there if want proper way lol, and labour cost for Indo is around 2K (at least on my case), which take them almost 5 days. But you may able to get cheaper.

As for aluminium foil depend on quality than you purchase...

was looking for cooling solutions for my home. i got a bit of engineering backgnd.
heat travels from hot to cooler place.

coolbatts is insulation right?
so it means it will prevent heat from coming in so the house is cooler.
but at the same time, heat will also enter by the walls and windows.

at night, coolbatts will block heat from going out. so hse is hotter.

it depends how you designed the flow of air.

A ceiling with vent hole reduce heat build up during night.
So there is a cross breeze build between roof; so that hot air will flow out. icon_rolleyes.gif

But if got vent hole won't there be lizards, pest etc? And surely it needs to be large in order to release heat. Like exhaust.
And during day, heat will seep in and make the living area hot.

those are the minor things. Couldnt understand why the minor much an issue for you.
It can be prevented.

A very simple design of understand inner air drive out.

Any contractor can do this job.... and you don have to do it.. the job is not hard but difficult in the sense that labour demanding that you need to climb, sustain ray from burning sun etc.

what roof are you using? concrete? metaldec?

a typical sandwich system is more than sufficient for insulation...

top layer- roof
2nd layer polywool fibreglass density=24kg/m^3
3rd layer- aluminium foil, reflectivity >95%
4th layer- S/S mesh to withheld the above(aluminium foil & fibre wool)

another factor also factor in.. air ventilation

Added on April 27, 2011, 10:30 am
heat enters house via roof with significantly >50%

wall another 30-40%

so, material selection is very important

Added on October 15, 2011, 6:56 pmit is better buy the top function insulation foil like double foil with bubble, since spend the money for reduce room temperature, it worth spent more few hundreds get best performance for whole house

radent shield by Monier... can get from any hardware shop selling monier tiles...
http://www.monier.com.my/products-services...nt-barrier.html

DuoFoil by HongLeong Industry. Also by any hardware shop
http://www.hlm.com.my/Duofoil.html

N.B dont even call the number on the web to buy.. unless you are goin to buy >100 roll from them.....

p/s insulation roof come in a system... not a single product.... so, you can use a super duper radient barrier but not efficient system/installation wont show how effective the super duper product is...

it is like attach a F1 tyre onto a kancil...

Added on October 15, 2011, 7:25 pmall are big manufacturers, seldom deal with end user. can look for specialist contractor who do a insulation system, like normal terrace house less than 3k. u can try call this no. 012-2802263

Anyone use this heat-away thermal shield before to reduce the temperature of the house? It claims it can reduced by 7 degress celcius. Is that true? The material looks like car wind screen shield but maybe different materials..

Any experience please share...

hi - my friend used it - it really is cost-effective - definitely worth doing - i am about to also - please see: http://www.cooltek.org/. best to use DOUBLE sided foil.
do not use insulation bulk material - not suitable for tropics - smile.gif reflective foil most suitable.

I don't prefer this type of instillation. First heat still trap between the roof and ceiling, second when you want to do wiring work got to dig out the insulation.
