Did you try to use the ventilation fan? Also, how about your roof? Are you using tiles or metal roof?Building an ATTIC, I wanted to transform my roof

QUOTE(lyt25_1234 @ Jan 29 2021, 09:05 AM) My goodness, I am going to have metal roof too. 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. water18 liked this post

QUOTE(ceo684 @ Jan 31 2021, 11:47 PM) Actually metal roof is cooler than the roof tile (shingles) but you need to pick the correct colour (white or light grey) for it to reflect solar energy well. Thanks for the idea. Ya, I am thinking of light grey metal roof. For the master bedroom, I am thinking of the external heat resistance paint and also plan to plant some trees. I have a master bedroom with a heat problem too - outside painted 80% dark grey wall facing west. Sauna effect is much lessened with the windows open for airflow through the room. |
