I have an attic that is used for storage. It's freaking hot up there.
Building an ATTIC, I wanted to transform my roof

QUOTE(ongss @ Jan 28 2021, 04:20 PM) Did you try to use the ventilation fan? Also, how about your roof? Are you using tiles or metal roof? My roof got the heatshield and it's metal roof. And yes, i have two turbines installed too. |

With all the heatshield, metal decking, turbines...no sheer amount can help reducing the heat other than installing aircond.

QUOTE(ongss @ Jan 30 2021, 08:58 PM) My goodness, I am going to have metal roof too. Trust me, save the money and forget about doing anything to attic.My contractor is suggesting one single layer of aluminium insulation. I asked for more and he recommended Sun-foil reflective aluminium bonded with a layer of 25mm FR polyethylene bubble sheet and woven fabric. I am considerng three other options: (1) the solar-powered turbines. But, have not decided yet. (2) the solar panel to generates electricity, which can act as an extra layer. (3) heat reflective paint. But, it may have an issue for the warranty of the metal roof. |
