slab roof????

Tanong lang po, ang pagkaka alam ko kasi slab roof is a flat roof made up of reinforced concrete, pwede rin bang tawaging slab ang slightly flat roof na GI ang material???? another question, kung gagamit ako ng concrete slab, paano ba maiiwasan ang possible leak from rain??? at tsaka alam ko kasi mainit sa loob pag concrete ang roof.

Slab roof ay concrete slab. GI material is never called a slab roof.

Water proofing ang ilagay para walang leaks, also, dapat maganda ang drain mo at slope ng slab to the drain. Ponding usually ang cause ng leaks. Yun yung may mga natitirang tubig sa slab dahil hindi maganda ang pagkadrain ng area.

And if you have the waterproofing on, hindi na mainit yan sa loob.

Concrete materials are known to absorb heat, kaya kahit gabi na, mainit pa din ang walls... Pero pag gumamit naman kayo ng protection sa concrete like elastomeric paint, white paint, waterproofing, sun shading devices, etc. It reflects the heat from being absorbed by the concrete, kaya hindi gaanong mainit pag protected. Kahit punong kahoy sa tapat ng bahay, I think its the best protection against the sun.

galing sir bokkins.natuto po ako saglit dun.

Kaya mostly lahat ng structures sa ME (middle east) on concrete roof.

Dagdag ko lang.

maraming salamat po, natatakot kasi ako mag design ng slab roof
