Azl — delivered with a written warranty, to the Saudi Building Code
About Shihar
Shihar is an old, upscale district in central Taif, close to markets, schools and hospitals, where villas and apartments sit alongside showrooms and shops on its main streets. Residents mention rainwater pooling and pressure on drainage during the rainy season, which makes waterproofing of roofs and basements and drainage away from walls a priority, along with watching for damp that draws insects to ground floors. District guide
Why Shihar homes need water tank insulation
Shihar lies in Taif along Shihar Street and Majlis At-Taawun Street, and is dominated by villas, apartment buildings and shops and commercial buildings. 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. The altitude brings heavier rain and day–night temperature swings, so flexible materials and careful expansion joints are preferred. The city's cold winters and hot summers cause repeated expansion and contraction, so a flexible system is preferred. The fix: check the concrete first, repair honeycombing and cracks, then line the tank with a system suited to its age and condition.
