BRC isn't a good idea. Hardly renovators will use this. BRC rust when it comes in contact with moisture. And above the ceiling, there will be plenty due to heat and rain in Malaysia.

There is steel mesh which is rustproof. There are those meshes which are hot-dip galvanized used in highway dividers and security fencing. Steel mesh is practical, you do not have to remove all the roof tiles..


Normally, the other method would be to install additional  2"x2" timber batters assuming yours is made of timber roof truss. If it uses metal truss, then your battens will be made of Zincalume material. It basically adds on in between the existing batter, which means narrowing the gap that a human cannot go through just by lifting up the roof tiles.

You would need a lot of battens at close spacing and labour cost would be expensive.

Zinc (galvanized iron to be exact) sheet is good - for security, waterproofing and insulation. Only thing is,  you need to remove all the roof tiles to fix it.

Somehow, I feel adding Zinc sheets makes troubleshooting a leak harder. As you know, where you see the water may not be the location it leaks from. Adding any sheets for that matter, whether Zinc sheet or Sisalation makes it so hard to find the leakage.

How much are the rust proof Steel Mesh per square meter/foot roughly? Good for me to know as well ...

my contractor told me adding zinc sheet will definately void your house insurance. Instead, they recommed adding horitonzal kayu masak truss small enough gap ppl cannot get thru. At least if fire bomba wafer still can get thru from the roof.Quoted ~7k for the whole job , mine is  a dst house.

So what are the best way now? Currently my house almost get break through from the roof and now looking for better security ways. As read above there are ways like installing Zinc or even grill?

Which is is better and how much does it cost?

is urs single or double storey ?

wood plus motion sensor...

Myself is Zink + Wood + heat aluminim + Motion Sensor....
Problem statement: Maybe issue to rectifier leaking

Another method is put BRC, but roof need additional support. BRC is very heavy for thicck brc.

double storey

Wood is mean to add additional wood to minimize the hole so that no one can drop in? Roughly how much it cost?
How much it cost for your Zink + wood? I already install motion sensor.
TQ~

Material around 1.5K+ (Zink + Wood) , Labour is around 2K (Indo)

Thats good value , they quote me all in 7k , take out roof and place the wood + labour cost
