Azl — delivered with a written warranty, to the Saudi Building Code
About Ar Ruqayqah
Ar Ruqayqah is one of Hofuf's old popular districts, home to Khuzam Palace and crossed by Prince Naif and Prince Mohammed bin Fahd roads, and is said to hold a large share of the city's residents. Its traditional houses and older blocks need roof insulation repairs and crack treatment, and tightly packed homes let pests move between buildings, so street-wide treatment coordination helps. District guide
Why Ar Ruqayqah homes need roof insulation
Ar Ruqayqah lies in Al-Ahsa along Prince Naif Road and Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Road, and is dominated by older traditional houses, apartment buildings and shops and commercial buildings. Roofs of older houses often have expired waterproofing, cracked tiles and uneven falls, so water ponds and seeps into the slabs. Buildings in the old parts of the city need concrete and rebar checks before insulating, because insulation over damaged concrete does not last. Intense heat most of the year makes roof thermal insulation a core part of the solution, not an optional extra. The fix: assess the existing system with a moisture survey; restore over it if dry, or strip and rebuild if saturated.
