Tips For Choosing An Aesthetic And Safe Roof

JAKARTA - The roof of the house, apart from functioning as a barrier to rainwater entering the house, must also be able to protect its residents from the heat of the sun that shines during the day, the capacity of rainwater, and inhibit the movement of the wind that usually brings dust.

In the past, tiles can be an option, but they can be damaged and released. Likewise, when choosing aluminum, exposure to extreme weather conditions can cause corrosion to leak, bend, or release, allowing water to seep into the house.

Now, a new trend arises in choosing the roof of a UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) house. Different from conventional roofs, the UPVC roof offers better durability to corrosion caused by rain. Due to this advantage, many construction experts recommend the roof of the uPVC to be used in tropical climates that experience high hot temperatures and rainfall.

"Atap with this basic material is fire resistant, has long to 15 years of reabilities, is waterproof, capable of reducing heat and noise, thereby increasing comfort in the home, stainless, and affordable prices," said Miming Sastana, production manager of PT Sumber Bangun Strong producer Roofuff in a media statement, Tuesday, August 6.

In addition, there is another advantage of the uPVC material which is in line with Go-Green's initiative. "Because it is produced with a more energy efficient process, uPVC can be recycled into another form. The UPVC Rooftuff roof contributes to energy efficiency by reducing artificial lighting and cooling needs, such as the use of indoor air conditioning," he added.

Thus, it is able to help reduce energy consumption and reduce the environmental impact of energy production. UPVC Roofftuff's durability and roof strength also reduce the frequency of roof replacement, thereby reducing the use of limited natural resources.

Then the UPVC Rooftuff-based roof is also designed to reduce noise by up to 20% of dB units, so that it is effective in reducing sounds from rain, thunder, lightning, and various other sources of noise from outside the house or building.

"With the Twinwall Corrugated feature on the roof design (which creates a cavity between the two surfaces), the uPVC Rooftuff roof offers optimal sound absorption. This is very important to create a comfortable residential environment, especially if your home is close to potentially noisy highways, factories, or other areas," he concluded.
