What sets this area apart

Villas in Qasr sit on spacious, separate plots with relatively high roofs and parapet walls fully exposed to sun and desert winds. High daytime heat and nocturnal drops cause continuous expansion and contraction in concrete and brick. We select high-density clay brick at least 15 cm thick, with thermal insulation material inserted between brick layers. Concrete columns are poured with a mix resistant to heat and salt combined. The cement coping is installed with expansion joints every 1.5 metres to avoid cracking from thermal swings.

Qasr is located in Jahra governorate, where high temperatures and dry desert winds prevail.

Expansion joints in cement coping are installed every 1.5 metres to absorb thermal expansion and contraction movement.

Questions about Rooftop parapet wall in Qasr

Why add thermal insulation to desert roof parapet walls?

Intense daytime heat and nighttime cold cause continuous expansion and contraction, leading to concrete and brick cracking. Thermal insulation reduces this movement and extends wall lifespan.

Do we use standard brick or select brick for desert areas?

We select high-density, well-fired clay brick, since weak brick crumbles quickly under desert heat and dryness. Minimum 15 cm thickness with thermal insulation between layers.
