Water Tank Insulation in Al Oud, Riyadh
Azl — delivered with a written warranty, to the Saudi Building Code
About Al Oud
Al Oud began as an old village and became a residential district south of Al Marqab covering about 291 hectares, known for the famous Al Oud Cemetery and Al Hillah market. Traditional houses and mid-rise blocks with ageing concrete roofs dominate, so leak repairs and re-insulating roofs with waterproof and thermal layers suited to buildings over thirty years old are common requests. District guide
Why Al Oud homes need water tank insulation
Apartment buildings, older traditional houses and villas define Al Oud in central Riyadh, beside Al Batha Road. In apartment buildings one shared ground tank serves several flats, so a leak multiplies consumption and dampness in the adjacent basement and parking. Buildings in the old parts of the city need concrete and rebar checks before insulating, because insulation over damaged concrete does not last. 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.
