Azl — delivered with a written warranty, to the Saudi Building Code
About Al Malaz
Al Malaz is a residential Rafha district on Al Kiswah Street, where villas are sold within an established urban fabric. Many villas in such districts predate thermal insulation requirements, so upgrading roof and external wall insulation and redoing bathroom waterproofing are practical steps to improve comfort and lower energy bills. District guide
Why Al Malaz homes need roof insulation
Al Malaz lies in Rafha along Al Kiswah Street, and is dominated by villas. Villa roofs are wide, multi-level and crowded with AC bases and annexes, and every joint or opening is a weak point for rain or AC condensate. The city's cold winters and hot summers cause repeated expansion and contraction, so a flexible system is preferred. 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.
