Azl — delivered with a written warranty, to the Saudi Building Code
About Ar Rawabi
Ar Rawabi is among east Riyadh's oldest and largest districts, covering about 7.6 square kilometres between the Eastern Ring Road to the west and Imam Al-Shafi'i Road to the east. Its traditional pattern is attached villas and apartment blocks, with some newer compounds. Older attached buildings need treatment for rising damp in walls and re-insulation of cracked roofs. District guide
Why Ar Rawabi homes need roof insulation
Ar Rawabi in east Riyadh is home to villas, apartment buildings and shops and commercial buildings, connected by Eastern Ring Road. 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.
