Even if its only sisalation. A good extra barrier for water. I gave up working on tin roof houses. To hard to get down the cavity.

How can it go on now?? This is what I put in my houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what sisalation is buddy... they did teach us that in trade school LOL. We’re not doing that... we’re doing normal in ceiling insulation, nothing directly between the tin and the frame. There was minimal value in doing it additional to the high density insulation we are putting in the ceiling cavity and walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure your builders licence really weighs heavily in this discussion. In actuality sisalation isn’t used very much in SA on new builds unless you have a home in a high wind zone or a bushfire zone. We opted to go with a far denser ceiling insulation and adequate roof ventilation which will cool the roof cavity overnight quicker than not. (We are near the coast and have great coastal breezes in the summer evenings) and our main issue wasn’t with over head sunlight, it’s actually the back wall of the house which cops far greater direct sunlight, which is why additional consideration went into the upper story rear elevation construction method. Our roof cavity is very small and our roof pitch is minimal, which again, meant I really wasn’t phased with any direct under roof insulation. 🤷♀️ Each to their own.

If my spoilt mutt would sleep outside I'd make one. But alas the wife is a sucker and keeps her indoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
