For those who live on the top floor, it is very distressing in summer, because the hot sun shines for a long time, making the whole room hot and stuffy, and even using air conditioners has no effect, so if you do it yourself What are the methods of heat insulation? What are the heat insulation materials? Let me introduce the heat insulation methods and heat insulation materials for the roof of the downstairs. Let's take a look!

What are the methods of do-it-yourself roof insulation?

1. Plant vegetables and fruits

Planting vegetables and fruits is the best way to insulate the heat yourself. Not only can you taste fresh organic vegetables, but it can also have the effect of heat insulation. You can directly cover the entire roof with soil, and then plant vegetables, etc., or build some Pergola, plant some climbing plants, such as vines and so on.

2. Water storage and heat insulation

If you have a mud master at home, you can use the method of water storage and heat insulation to do the heat insulation yourself; first clean the roof, make sure the ground is flat and dry, and then carry out waterproofing work. After the waterproofing work is completed and the water test fails After the problem, you can build a reservoir. If the roof has good load-bearing capacity, you can also build a swimming pool. This will not only provide heat insulation, but also have your own swimming pool to enjoy in the hot summer. It is a way to get the best of both worlds.

What are the insulation materials?

1. Aluminum film bubble insulation material

Aluminum film bubble insulation material has the advantages of light and thin material, low price, non-toxic and odorless, good flexibility, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, etc., but its tensile resistance is poor, support is relatively weak, and there is a thickness limit, so it cannot be compressed.

2. xpe insulation material

XPE heat insulation material has the advantages of convenient installation, flame retardant, non-absorbent, waterproof and moisture-proof, anti-collision and compression resistance, etc. Its disadvantages are high price, poor tensile resistance, relatively easy to puncture, and weak support.

3. EPE insulation material

The pearl cotton insulation material is relatively light and thin, and has good flexibility. It is relatively easy to install and the price is low. Its disadvantages are that it is easy to burn, has a pungent smell, poor acid resistance, and is not waterproof.
