About Ash Shuhada

Ash Shuhada belongs to Al Rawdah sub-municipality and is bounded to the north by Dammam Road, which separates it from Qurtubah, with direct access to the Eastern Ring Road. It holds apartments, villas, government offices and malls. Its density of apartment blocks makes shared-roof and rooftop-tank waterproofing a recurring maintenance item to keep damp out of top-floor flats. District guide

Why Ash Shuhada homes need roof insulation

Ash Shuhada lies in east Riyadh along Dammam Road and Eastern Ring Road, and is dominated by apartment buildings, villas and shops and commercial buildings. 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. Intense heat most of the year makes roof thermal insulation a core part of the solution, not an optional extra. The fix: a system that tolerates maintenance traffic on equipment-crowded roofs, with precise detailing around bases and penetrations.

Materials and specifications

  • Bituminous membrane (rolls): Durable torch-applied waterproofing, suited to large concrete roofs.
  • Spray polyurethane foam: Seamless thermal and waterproof layer in one; needs a UV-protective topcoat.
  • Liquid acrylic or polyurethane coating: Flexible layer ideal for maintenance and detailed roofs.
  • Extruded polystyrene boards (XPS): Compression-resistant thermal insulation under tiles.

We select products conforming to the relevant Saudi standards and apply them per the manufacturer's datasheet.
