Roofing is as essential as anything in a home; electricity, water solutions, and everything else. It’s no different for commercial structures, except that the quality and build material differs. In home roofing, you pay attention to longevity, weather friendliness, withstanding changing temperatures etc

Taking an expert consultation is imperative before you begin the construction of your commercial building. Architects, engineers, contractors can help you make the right choice about your commercial building based on your project requirements.

These professionals can help you decide how you want to go about building your commercial building, factory etc. and can also help you take into account the resources and materials required. It can potentially be cost saving.

Before you start the construction of your commercial or industrial structure, here are some key things to keep in mind -

Monsoon strong

Waterproofing should be the prime choice when building a structure especially in coastal regions. A roof designed with proper drainage and that which facilitates proper exertion of water is vital for the integrity of the entire structure.

Climate adaptability

Different materials react differently to changing climates. India has drastically different climates and weather patterns. Depending on where your industrial project will be built, you can decide what kind of material and roofing type to decide on. One that can withstand the harshest condition and all the other patterns in the place where the industry setup will be, is ideal.

Eco/Energy efficient

The more heat that a structure generates the more stress the air-conditioners and the power grids will bear. Reflective roofs or ceilings that have solar panels will increase energy efficiency by reducing the load on air-conditioning systems. This should have high importance in hot and humid regions.

Cost incurrence/Longevity

Some materials may require high maintenance over a period of time while some may not require limited maintenance checks. With that, those that require high maintenance may be perfect for your industry, while the low maintenance ones may not be the right fit for you. However it is, the material that your roof is built from matters a lot in the long run. Keep in mind the price, the general climate, and the vendors that you are dealing with.

Regulatory compliances

Every state in India, every commercial area and sector has its own regulatory body that regulates the standards required by the commercial buildings to be allowed to function. With all the other things in place, do check the regulatory standards set by the regulatory bodies.

General durability

Durability of a commercial structure’s roof shouldn’t only take into account weather and climate, but also other factors like dirt, mud accumulation, and animal waste. A roof that can withstand almost all kinds of problems over a long period of time, is the roof that your project needs.

All in all, a roof that meets all the budget and regulatory requirements, from a dealer whom you trust - is ideal.

A durable roof that stands the test of time deserves to shelter your equipment and workforce that toils day and night to deliver the best to your clients and customers. Hindalco Everlast Aluminum Roofing Sheets are made keeping exactly that in mind. Do reach out to us for a quote today.
