QUESTION
I have a double story home with the ground floor roof made of concrete slab. This ground floor is much colder in winter than the first floor.
Are there any ideal products out there I can look at? I thought of using the ISO Board but I am not sure if it's a suitable product.
May I also add that, whatever product I choose will have to work with the moulded cornices that I have in the house - without taking them out if possible.
ANSWER
I also have a double storey with a concrete slab. The one downfall with living in a home constructed in this manner is that the upper level is freezing cold in winter and heats up like an oven in summer.
I have found that 'Think Pink' has worked fantastic. Not only is the house warmer in winter, but the upper storey is much cooler in summer. The best part was that it wasn't expensive. It worked out at R700.00 per roll, which is cut into sections that fit between the ceiling beams. You won't have to touch the mouldings!
