4architect, I thought clay tiles are heaviest? i mean the ones from clay works
concrete tiles are the heaviest. clay is lighter. a thorough roof truss structural integrity check is needed to be done by your structural engineer to see if there will be new truss addition for support.
[quote=a4architect.com] for a flat concrete roof, to make it waterproof, can terrazo help? Am thinking of making a concrete flat roof of a maisonette....
@ Pablo, @a4architect.com mko wapi? Pl enlighten us on flat vs pitched roofs especially on cost, structural and maintenance. I see its becoming a trend in many homes.
People chose flat roof because they mostly need to use the space not as a cost consideration. A slab is definitely more expensive than trusses + any roofing material
That's exactly why I was considering a flat roof (that extra space). Any feedback on waterproofing options, while still rendering it usable for day to day activitie? Only Fools Have No Plan B
