Well insulation is fine but my house doesn't have any because my roof is nipa..Originally Posted by SimonH
I'm totally ignorant when it comes to things like this, but am very curious as we'll be extending our house in the near future.
One thing I intend to do is replace the existing wooden trusses with metal ones to eliminate the potential problem with termites, but can you explain to me the advantage of insulation. In my mind, hot air rises and therefore any insulation will prevent heat loss, which is great here but surely the opposite of what we want in the Philippines
Best advise I can give is install a ridge vent for the whole length of roof and large open eves..My eves are two meters wide at points so that the sun can never touch the walls.
If your "wooden trusses" are still in good shape,why not just give them a couple of coats of Solignum or Woodsaver?
