How to Make a Strong and Leak-Proof Roof
The roof is a crucial element of a house's covering and plays a crucial role in the survival of its occupants. Furthermore, the roof and ceiling determine the safety and aesthetics of a house or building.
Roofing work also requires special attention and consideration to avoid damage such as leaks and wind damage, and to ensure cost-effectiveness.
There are several considerations to consider when constructing a roof, including the following:
1. Type of Truss
The increasing scarcity of quality wood, coupled with the high cost of lumber for trusses, has given rise to several alternative options, including the use of sopi-sopi and lightweight steel.
2. Roof Shape
Based on shape, roofs are divided into three types: gable roofs, shield roofs, and pyramid roofs. Of these three roof styles, the gable roof is the simplest and most cost-effective to construct.
The advantages of a gable roof include its simplicity, which makes construction quicker than other models. The risk of leaks is relatively low due to the absence of ridges and gutters in the center. It also requires fewer materials, including purlins, roof coverings, and ridges.
3. Roof covering
Many materials can be used for roof covering, ranging from expensive to inexpensive. To maximize the cost of building a house, use affordable roof coverings, such as fiber cement, plentong tiles, morando tiles, and concrete tiles.
