reinforced concrete roofs It is especially applied when flat roofs are required in reinforced concrete buildings. It is necessary to give a slight slope to the water and to provide insulation. Nowadays, lightweight roofs are preferred for important buildings. It is possible to do this with reinforced concrete shell construction that resembles a dome. Thus, it is possible to exceed 25-30 meters with a thickness of 7.5 centimeters. Another different example is the roof formed by cable networks, and the square or triangular spaces are closed with transparent glass or plexiglass. The large area covered in this way does not prevent benefiting from natural light. Roof types Determining the type of roof can be in terms of load-bearing capacity as well as appearance. While it can sit on roofs, walls, columns and feet, it can also rest directly on the ground. zinc roofs It is the traditional roof covering of Western Europe. It was first applied in Paris in the 1840s. Nowadays, roof coverings made from pure zinc, titanium and copper alloyed according to EN 988 standards can be made. Its biggest advantage is that it is very long-lasting (on average 100 years) thanks to the natural patina of zinc, and that its surface cleans and repairs itself. At the same time, since 0.70 mm wall thickness is used on the roofs, it is very light (zinc density: 7.20 kg). The pioneer of this type of coating in the world is VM ZINC or VMZINC. Titanium zinc roofing products are also applied by roofing experts in Turkey. In practice, the slope must be above 5%. Support must be provided with a ventilated pine board. If there is no ventilation, the zinc cannot complete its patina and rot. The minimum ventilation should be 4 cm. To control expansion, slippery clips must be used. However, these clips must be made of inox material.
