Hi guys, my contractor advise me to put a layer of zinc sheet underneath the clay tiles for better security. However, I've plan to put this kinda Aluminium foil in my roof system for better heat insulation as my house is a single storey house that facing west and Im kinda worried the heat during afternoon hours.

My question here is, will the aluminium foil does the job as the zinc sheet in this case? So that I can only put aluminium foil and save the cost for going zinc+aluminium foil instead. Tq

Recommend using monier radenshield eg https://shopee.com.my/product/286308151/5353840667

It does work but its not supposed to stick directly..it need an airgap to work.

So in that says that it’s still fine to just place a layer of monier radenshield but it just doesn’t work like zinc+ aluminium right sis? And have you tried this monier radenshield before, is the heat reduction well? Thanks smile.gif

The heat reduction is minimal but it does helps to prevent a leak from dripping onto to the ceiling board.

The house feels hot due to the accumulation of 'stagnant' heat overtime between the roof and ceiling during prolong warm days.

Thanks for your input, Urm… I think I shall gather more feedback on this whether it’s economically to put the aluminium foil then.
