It's important to live on the top floor in summer. What is the best way to insulate the top floor?

The roof with heat insulation layer can effectively prevent the strong sunlight in summer. The commonly used material for laying thermal insulation layer is insulating brick, and the top layer is coated with thermal insulation paint and pasted with reflective tin foil. Another simple and effective method is to spread heat insulation material on the top floor, with a thickness of only 1cm, which has obvious heat insulation effect, is both fireproof and waterproof, and is economical and practical.

Step 2 build a sunshade

Building a sunshade is to build a sunshade net at the top of the floor. The advantage of using this method is that you can move freely on the roof. When the weather is good, you can drink tea and chat on it and enjoy the starry sky, but building a sunshade will affect the lighting.

3. Roof planting

Planting some vegetables and fruits on the roof is also a kind of roof insulation method, which can be planted directly with soil or in a foam box, and some simple shelves can be set up to facilitate the planting of vines or climbing vegetables to achieve better insulation effect.

4. Water storage and heat insulation

If the floor bearing capacity is acceptable, a swimming pool can be built on the top floor. If conditions do not allow, the top floor can also be filled with some water, which can also play a role in heat insulation. If this method is not adopted, it is necessary to do a good job in waterproofing the roof.

Indoor thermal insulation materials:

1, if it is a ceiling made of calcium silicate board and other materials. Generally, extruded board or foam board will be used as insulation layer, and the insulation layer and ceiling surface should be separated as far as possible. This will help the hot air to have enough space to radiate.

2. If the ceiling is gypsum board, it is recommended to use glass wool as insulation layer. This kind of insulation layer can't be hung separately. It is recommended to buy it, and it is best to spread two layers, so the insulation effect will be much better.
