The market of heat-resistant materials in Nha Trang now is abundant in kinds and products, supplying the rising demand in the hot summer.

At most building material stores in streets like 23-10, Le Hong Phong, Nguyen Tat Thanh, etc., it’s easy to find many kinds of heat-resistant materials. Light, easy to installed, durable and good-looking, steel holds a large market share. Its price fluctuates from VND90,000/m2 to VND300,000/m2, depending on thickness.

Specifically, cold steel and galvanized steel: VND85,000 – VND90,000/m2; noise and heat reducing steel: VND190,000 - VND300,000. “We also has normal steel with a layer of styrofoam, priced only VND110,000/m2”, said owner of a building material store in Nguyen Tat Thanh Street.

Styrofoam is another material to reduce heat effectively, whose price is rather low, from VND45,000 – VND55,000/m2. It also can be installed quickly. However, it’s not good in fire proof.

Some other heat-resistant materials are insulating slab and air bubble. Their prices are from VND35,000/m2 – VND90,000/m2.

Heat-resistant paint also is a choice. This is an expensive kind of paint, from VND1.6 million to VND3.8 million/18-liter case. “The special paint can reduce the temperature by 3 – 5°C, said owner of a building material store in Le Hong Phong Street.
