I'm using those alumine type on my existing house, it does cool down but noticed heat is there because of without airflow...(just like without wind at home).

Looking at the product, is can easily DIY since it just lay on the roof floor instead of roof top itself

Anyone recent done any similar isolation? Mind to share the contact and cost?

I'm plan to ask ground of Indo to lay the zink + aluminium foil, any hint how the measurement should be calculate so that I could buy the material from the hardware shop.

Almost similar to when I asked those folks at the house road show. Crazy.
Estimated roof are around 1100 sf, hence meterial it self will cost me not more than 2K depend of what type of aluminium foil I get.

that no quotation at all, you just need to estimate around 3 days work x daily labour for the Indo x number of Indo. my estimation with be 3 Days x RM 100 X 3 Indo = RM900 or 100.

Today one of my contractor highlighted this to me, but from this treat I didn't see the outcome whether it do void the insurance.

The main question is "If lay Zink sheet under the roof tile, will this again insurance policy?"

Internal view

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...
