About Al Hamra
Al Hamra in Khafji is a residential district with nearby services including a children's park, shops and a hospital, crossed by As Salwi Street. Rented flats and houses dominate, so waterproofing shared roofs and fixing bathroom leaks come first, alongside thermal insulation to ease summer heat on upper floors and routine pest control in entrances and storerooms. District guide
Why Al Hamra homes need roof insulation
Apartment buildings and villas define Al Hamra in Khafji, beside As Salwi Street. 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. The city's cold winters and hot summers cause repeated expansion and contraction, so a flexible system is preferred. High humidity affects bonding and curing, so application is scheduled in the least humid hours. The fix: assess the existing system with a moisture survey; restore over it if dry, or strip and rebuild if saturated.
