Roof Cooling / How to reduce the summer heat by making the roof cool?/What are the Different ways to make your roof top cool
Different ways to make your roof top coo:
Let us discuss the different ways to make our rooftop cooler in the summer season.
1. Terrace garden:
Growing our own terrace garden helps us in two ways. You will get fresh vegetables for your daily use & also it reduces the terrace top heating. The plants & the soil surface absorb the sunlight & create a cooler atmosphere.
2. Reflective paint:
As the name suggests, these types of paints reflect up to 97% of the sunlight. The coated layer of the paint reduces the heat penetration from the rooftop, which in turn keeps the interior cooler & comfortable.
3. Creating shades:
You can create the shades over the terrace by using different types of materials. Among them, a green shade net is the cheapest & the best option to block the sunlight. You can build a simple fabrication structure for green shade coverings over the roof.
4. Heat-reflective flooring:
The heat reflective tiles emit the absorbed solar radiation back into the atmosphere. They are lighter in color to enhance the reflection process. These tiles have a solar reflective index value > 90%, which reduces the inner temperature of the building up to a degree of 20%.
5. Solar panel:
Installation of the solar panel acts as a barrier to the sunlight. The larger the area of the solar panel over the rooftop, the cooler will be the home interior.
6. False ceiling:
The false ceiling blocks the heat penetration by creating a layer of voids in between the roof & the room interior. Among them, the thermocol ceiling is the cheapest & the best option to create a cooler & comfortable interior.
