Suggest materials that make the house cool

Correct material selection will greatly contribute to indoor temperature.

To keep your house cool in the Vietnamese climate, first of all, is the layout of the space, the location of light, reasonable wind, and ventilation thanks to open spaces. In addition, the selection of materials also helps to reduce some of the heat. Currently, there are materials on the market that can provide both sound and heat insulation well. Here are some suggestions of architect Bui The Long CTA | Creative Architects about materials that make your house cool year round. Use unburnt lightweight bricks You can use types such as block bricks, unburnt light bricks to help reduce environmental pollution. Solid brick walls, raw and un-painted brick walls also provide good insulation. Soil wall from mountainous ethnic people is now sought by many professional construction companies to apply in construction is also a worthwhile solution in the future. “Breathing brick wall” The use of “breathing brick wall” is also an option. “Breathing brick wall” includes a garden layer of 1.2 – 1.5 m combined with open brick wall, burnt brick built in the direction of continuous brick hole. From there, creating natural air inlets to help ventilate continuously 24/24 for the house. The less building layers of a wall surface, the quicker it heats heat, limiting heat retention, and heating indoor air. Spatial architecture with many layers of side corridor walls is also a method of limiting heat. Roofing tiles The roof is a part of the project that is subject to a considerable heat impact. Roofing with tiles or insulated corrugated iron will dissipate heat better than roofs made of concrete and tile due to the air space between the roof and the ceiling. For light-absorbing glass materials, in order to reduce heat, in addition to the way of insulating film, insulating glass is a good choice with no difference in price. Glass roofs or windows, doors should incorporate slots, ventilation bars to contribute to indoor air circulation. The glass wall material that has air insulation inside the brick is a material that is in common use. Wooden materials Solid wood materials limit heat gain, high inductance but relatively high cost, as well as longevity requirements, durability, so the use accounts for a low proportion of the common materials. The wooden houses have distinct beauty, cooler temperatures than concrete houses are many people love. Depending on the financial size of the homeowner can be considered to design. Using water surface or planting trees to cover walls or roofs, trees in the house is also a natural solution to help reduce heat and cool the house.
