Dear JK Sahib,

Sir I have a question regarding roof heat insulation.

Do you recommend BOARD and what thickness is good for Lahore weather?

Also can you please send me your email at

Thanks

Dear Ahmed,
Proper water proofing and roof insulation is very expensive item and not advised to spend much on this issue as it is not the only roof that brings in heat but single core walls and windows as well.

I will suggest to lay roof with very minor slop so that water does not stand on and then use gypsum false ceiling as it gives decoration and prevent heating too.
