AlwaysRt Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I know this has been talked about before but was wondering if anyone has priced this lately, parts and labor? I have plenty of shade everywhere but the roof and have zero insulation in the attic. Seems to me the Philippines is the perfect conditions for Radiant Barrier to excel but I don't know if it is worth the upgrade to a rental house so I am looking for ballpark of what cost might be for this 112 sqm house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Have you considered a mechanical vent on the roof mine work really well. As for the insulation, I have no clue I will make inquiries later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) 50 pesos a square metre in my local (large) hardware store.... standard issue foam/foil. Ask your landlord to put a mechanical roof vent or two in for you also, if possible. Up here in Pangasinan, standard labourer rate is p350 per 7am-5pm day, plus maybe p50 'merienda money'.

Radiant barrier is the 'correct' solution but I have installed temperature/humidity controlled fans before also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have 1 vent 3070 pesos from citi hardware. I am not sure how much to fit but it should not be over 1k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonjack2847 Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) One other thing to consider is getting some of those magnetic door screens and leaving the doors open so there is airflow through the house this helps keep it cooler. I bought mine 2.1h and 1m wide from Lazada for 319 each. Edited April 21, 2019 by sonjack2847 wrong figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
