Any home will make sure to see that certain elements that make a home safe are firmly in place. On the exterior, the ones that are affected first is roofing, cladding, and waterproofing. Usually, these jobs are left to the contractor and most homeowners are quite ignorant about the materials and prefer not to deal with it.

There are various trends emerging here too. Piyush Nahar, GM, marketing, Tata Bluescope Steel, says, “Residential roofing is now focussing on aesthetics and sustainability. Solar compatible roofing system is preferred by specifiers and home builders. Roofs that perform well under terse environments like wet hilly terrains, high wind zones, arid environments, and have greater load-bearing capacity, offer greater thermal efficiency along with superior aesthetics, have gained importance. Lately, this sector has witnessed greater acceptability for colour coated steel roofs. With multiple colour options and patterns to choose from; our DURASHINE roof is a compelling choice that combines superior aesthetics, design flexibility, thermal efficiency with greater performance; giving the home-owner an assured peace of mind.”

Similarly with cladding systems, sustainability has crept in here too.
