About Ad Dhubbat
Ad Dhubbat lies east of Al Wizarat and northwest of Al Malaz; it was redeveloped in the 1970s as housing for Ministry of Defence staff and other officials, and holds Jabal Abu Makhruq and the Institute of Public Administration. Its government-style villas with flat concrete roofs now often need renewed waterproofing and thermal insulation after decades of sun exposure. District guide
Why Ad Dhubbat homes need roof insulation
Ad Dhubbat lies in central Riyadh along King Abdulaziz Road and Makkah Road, and is dominated by villas and apartment buildings. 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. 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.
