House Design Ideas

Are you ready roof of your house to survive from the attack of rainfall? Maybe, roof of your house including diseased ‘leaky’ during the rainy season. If so then inevitably, you have to spend time, energy and materials to address these issues than the comfort of residents is always disturbed when it rains. Consider a few tips from this article.

Steps you should do are as soon as possible to detect the cause. Like a sick person, then it must be diagnosed correctly to choose how the therapy treatment. There are several reasons why a leaky roof:

1. Construction errors
Generally it is influenced by the slope of the roof is less precise. On the type of roofing tile commonly used by the people, should have a slope between 30-40 degrees. Less than that, it is guaranteed leak-prone due to PIAs of bulk water from the rain and more prone to sagging tile positions that also resulted in a leaky roof. The solution of this problem is to rearrange the slope of the roof (aka loading and total) or a less expensive by giving either leak proof coating sheets of plastic or the like on the bottom of the tile. Therefore, even if water enters through the gaps between the tiles will still be held by a plastic layer and then flowed down until towards gutters. If the architectural design of the house requires the slope of the roof is made of more than 40 degrees, choose a tile that has nail holes to lock the position of the tile so as not to sag. Many famous brand tiles in the shop building are equipped with nail holes.

2. Installation error
Generally occurs because builders are less careful when spelling the locations roof of the ‘vulnerable’ attacked by rainwater. For example, the location of the ridge, the connection edge and gutters. For example at the pinnacle / rooftop, which if made too high it will be prone to cracking resulting leak when exposed to rain. The solution is to give a kind of waterproof coating Aqua proof or rubber chamfer on the part that leaked it. When your house is built, select the artisans who are experts and ask them to be careful when doing work on these parts.

3. Quality Selection of Materials Origin at random
Any roofing material has its own character. Tile for example, between clay tiles with ceramic tile ceramic tile is obviously better to hold rainwater and water-resistant due to the nature of its interlocking design. This obviously affects the slope of tolerance that can be applied to your home. Similarly, other materials such as galvanized sheets and asbestos. Asbestos may be much cheaper but the clear weather resistant galvanized sheet stronger. Selection of quality material crudely obvious effect on the resistance to attack by rainwater.

4. Weather Damage
The roof is part of the building structure houses who suffer most from the weather, because exposure to the sun’s heat during the dry season and rainy season when exposed to water. No matter how strong your house roof material will be degraded over time due to weather. Due to the damage incurred is usually intangible cracks at the junction edge, hair cracks in clay roof tiles, porous zinc / rusting or fading colors of paint coatings on concrete roof tiles. The solution to this is to perform periodic maintenance every year to prolong the life / lifetime roof material. For example, painting the concrete roof tiles with tile paint, adding a layer of waterproofing on the concrete, and so on.
