I've already gone down the TCL cellulose path for my ceiling, put a film of tinted stuff on my window, and both have helped bring down the temperature in my bedroom, but it's still not enough and I now plan to DIY, get some insulation material, plaster the offending NNW facing wall with the stuff, then conceal it with tongue and groove nyatoh or pine cladding. I also plan to replace the window with a double-glazed casement.

QUOTE(Fazab @ Jun 12 2014, 01:46 PM) My new room is facing west. I am seriously thinking of cladding the exterior with something to block heat......... Anyone knows how much to do external wall insulation i.e. extruded polystyrene foam XPS? Probably cheaper to clad the interior wall. Works for me. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Fazab @ Jun 13 2014, 12:27 AM) Internal wall half will be covered by built-in wardrobe. The other half I will DIY cladding using wood composite like PrimaBoard. Hm....come to think of it....bit overkill? But I will like a cool ('cold') room. No idea how effective PrimaBoard will be as a heat barrier. I used nyatoh. My wall faces NNW and that is enough for it to absorb a significant amount of heat from the afternoon sun to radiate it into the room at night. A wall that directly faces west must be hellish. Let me know how it goes with the exterior cladding. You should consider double glazing as another heat barrier. |
