List of Heat-Resistant Materials for Family Rooms

The family room is one of the most frequently used rooms in the house, especially for relaxing and gathering. To make it comfortable to use throughout the day, it is important to ensure that the room temperature remains cool, especially in hot climates like Indonesia. One of the best ways is to choose building materials that are resistant to heat.

Here are some materials that are effective in reducing heat in the family room:

1. Red Brick or Lightweight Brick
Both types of brick are known to have good thermal insulation capabilities. Red brick absorbs heat slowly, while lightweight brick (AAC) reflects it so that the room does not heat up easily.

2. Wall Coating from Insulating Mortar
This type of mortar contains additional materials that can reduce heat transfer from outside to inside the room. Suitable for finishing interior walls.

3. Gypsum Ceiling + Heat Insulator
A gypsum ceiling combined with aluminum foil or glasswool on top can significantly reduce heat from the roof. This is effective for houses with zinc roofs or metal tiles.

4. Light Ceramic or Granite Floors
Floor materials such as light colored ceramics or granite help reflect heat. Avoid dark colored floors or vinyl materials that can absorb temperature.

5. Roof with Anti-Heat Layer
Use foil-coated corrugated iron or metal roofs with sandwich panel technology that have an insulating layer. This can minimize heat radiation entering the room.

6. Low-E Glass Windows
Low-E (low emissivity) glass has a special coating that reflects the sun's heat but still allows natural light to pass through. Ideal for windows in the family room that face direct sunlight.

7. Thermal Curtains or Blackout Curtains
Additional curtains with an anti-heat layer can help lower the room temperature and protect furniture from direct sunlight.
