About Okaz
Okaz is a quiet residential district in southwest Riyadh within Ash Shifa municipality, bounded by Al Hazm and Dirab Road to the north and Uraidh to the south, and home to Okaz Park. Its relatively newer family villas and apartments suit combined roof waterproofing and thermal layers, water-tank lining and sealing expansion joints on broad roofs facing large day-night temperature swings. District guide
Why Okaz homes need roof insulation
Okaz in south Riyadh is home to villas and apartment buildings, connected by Dirab 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: an integrated waterproof and thermal system turned up the parapets, detailing every base and opening, then a flood test before covering.
