Azl — delivered with a written warranty, to the Saudi Building Code
About An Nakhil
An Nakhil is a central Dammam district under the central municipality, enclosed by King Saud Street to the north, King Khalid Street to the south and 18th and 28th streets on either side. Next to the old market area and Al Adamah, it has buildings of many ages, so roof-leak inspections and insulating rooftop water tanks are common needs in its houses and blocks. District guide
Why An Nakhil homes need roof insulation
An Nakhil lies in central Dammam along King Saud Street and 18th Street, and is dominated by apartment buildings, villas and older traditional houses. An apartment building's roof is shared and crowded with AC units and flat tanks, so top-floor residents bear both the heat and the leaks. High humidity affects bonding and curing, so application is scheduled in the least humid hours. 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.
