Choosing a roof that can cool the room

Heat the air in your home may be caused by the heat of the room under the roof. There are ways to make room on the ceiling so the room is cooler underneath was cool.

Have you ever climbed to the top of the ceiling in broad daylight during the hot sun? You will not stand for long in a room under this roof. The air was hot and stuffy that makes you right down.

The temperature under the roof will affect the air beneath it, especially if your ceiling is made of flimsy material and easy to deliver heat, such as plywood. When the sun shines bright in the daytime, you will feel the heat in the house.

Increasingly felt the heat of the sun in the room who did not use the ceiling, the ceiling or directly attached to the roof. Such rooms are usually located on the top floor. Removal of the roof on the top floor could be due to deliberate for the sake of beauty and of necessity so that the room feel taller and wider.

Even if you install the air conditioner (air conditioner) in the room without a ceiling like this, conditions are still uncomfortable. You need air conditioning with greater power to the air temperature is cool enough. This means you need the AC electric power is greater. End, the spending power becomes greater cost.

There are solutions to lower the air temperature under the roof that makes the room feel much cooler underneath. You can use the insulation material is installed under the roof.

Roof insulation is usually used in large buildings such as factories. Factories that use zinc or asbestos roofs will make the air inside it is very hot and it usually does not use the factory ceiling. Insulation material used is a sheet of aluminum foil beneath which is coated with glass-wool.

Sheet of aluminum foil will reflect heat so it is not expected to penetrate to the bottom. And the residual heat still penetrates this layer will be “absorbed” by the layer below, which is glass-wool.

Installing insulation in the house of this kind is not easy. Moreover, if the installation of the coating on the finished house, hardly possible. Unless you’re unpacking the roof or ceiling, the installation becomes much easier.
