Sunfoil is my conclusion too after discussing with sifu above 👍

Disclaimer: Not a sponsored post. Just sharing a project done last week.

So the house that I'm living in is a corner lot facing the setting sun, the radiant heat during evening can be very unbearable & headache inducing.  bangwall.gif
Wanted to do some low cost project this year to make it cooler somehow, some ideas that I thought of:

1. Install roof turbine (Installed previously, didn't help much)
2. Install some buffer / facade wall / agriculture netting on the outside (mounting issue)
3. Time-based water sprinkler on the outside (mouldy walls)

Decided to do a radiant barrier installation on the roof instead. How I did was:

1. Purchase material rolls directly from supplier (Find supplier from Shopee/Lazada and contact them to do pickup orders), comes in ~40-48m per rolls. Found 3 suppliers, 1 in Kajang, 1 P. Pinang & 1 Melaka. Just find the closest to you.
2. Find contractor to do roofing works, show video instruction on how to do.
3. 1 / 2 days job depending on roof size / design, contractor provide tools & labour.




Feedbacks & comments:
1. Cost = RM170/roll for 48m roll, bought 4 only used up 2.75 (House buildup 30*65). Labour+tools = Rm700
Total cost RM1.4k-ish. Not sure yet what to do with the leftovers.

2. Good quality product, does not tear easily (woven) and warranty is 15 years.

3. Workmanship not that important (could be better aesthetically, but not as important to serve intended purpose)  sweat.gif

4. Pretty good results for a low-cost passive solution (no numerical temp. measurement done before / after, but 2nd floor is noticeably cooler in the evening)  thumbsup.gif

Hi, sorry for necro old post. But am interested to know if the insulation barrier is fire resistant or not?

Also it is just an "alumnium foil", no insulation material in between? What is it made of?

more info here:
https://www.roofseal.com.my/product/fire-retardant-series/

before installing the radiant barrier, I had painted the roof with nippon solaroof, and felt the difference. it became even cooler after installation of the radiant barrier. I have no thermometer and so did not take before and after temperature readings; can only base my impressions on the "feels".

My 35 years old hour already comes with this aluminium heat barrier. Comfy during hot days. But lately, the barrier base material starts to crumble down.

Can see few patches with no barrier intact.

Need to redo the barrier with new one.

Just to check. Is there a company or service out there that can handle everything from A to Z with a budget friendly option?

The installation does not require any special skills + the materials do not require any lead time to purchase (if only to use in 1 house).

Just need to find some contractors who's familiar with roofing works, show them the video and ask them if they're comfortable to do it.

Check annually for mold as moisture trap can cause that, which affects health in long term.

Can, but if your roof part do not have its own insulation anybody in the future do work between roof-ceiling gonna get cooked inside (wiring, plumbing near water tank, etc.).
