Water Tank Insulation in Al Malaz, Riyadh
Azl — delivered with a written warranty, to the Saudi Building Code
About Al Malaz
Al Malaz was Riyadh's first modern district, laid out in the mid-1950s as a housing project of several hundred villas for ministry staff, later filled in with apartment blocks and shops. Many of its buildings are decades old, so their flat roofs and rooftop tanks often need worn insulation stripped and new waterproofing and thermal layers laid before the long Riyadh summer. District guide
Why Al Malaz homes need water tank insulation
Villas, apartment buildings and shops and commercial buildings define Al Malaz in central Riyadh, beside Omar bin Abdulaziz Road. Villas usually rely on a concrete ground tank feeding a roof tank, and any crack in its wall wastes water into the soil unnoticed until the bill rises. Summer heat warms exposed roof tanks and speeds coating breakdown, so reflective external insulation helps. The fix: check the concrete first, repair honeycombing and cracks, then line the tank with a system suited to its age and condition.
