What sets this area apart

Waha is an inland residential district with modern apartment buildings on standard-sized plots, their roofs exposed directly to desert dust and sand with large day-night temperature swings. Extreme heat causes cyclical concrete expansion and contraction, leading to cracking without adequate expansion joints. We set concrete columns at regular intervals and leave at least 2 cm expansion joints, with a dust barrier layer and heat-reflective coating that reduces surface heat absorption.

Waha sits in Jahra governorate, an inland residential district of modern buildings on desert-type plots.

Expansion joints in desert-area roof parapets must be at least 2 cm wide to accommodate seasonal thermal movement.

Questions about Rooftop parapet wall in Waha

Call now
How do you protect roof walls from cracking due to heat swings?

We leave regular expansion joints at least 2 cm wide for free concrete movement, and apply heat-reflective coating to reduce direct heat absorption by the surface.

What effect do dust and sand have on roof parapet walls?

Dust accumulates and traps moisture under the surface, causing slow concrete erosion. We apply a dust barrier layer and schedule regular roof cleaning to prevent buildup.
