Indawo installed its own slate roofing tiles as part of the roofing solution for the City of Cape Town. The slate roofing provided offers the client a longer maintenance-free period than traditional slate tiles manufactured locally, giving the City Hall a roofing makeover that will last for longer than it has been standing.
Roofing makes up to 40% of a building and is its first line of defence against a harsh South African climate. Roofing in Cape Town, especially, comes under huge attacks from high winds, incessant winter rainfall, extreme summer heat and seas pray. Roofing solutions have to take into account all of these factors, more importantly so, in the case of heritage buildings.
Without adequate protection on top of a building, the outer structures will feel the brunt of wear and tear. Make sure your building is taken care of by look at the top first.
