Modern form of traditional roof

In architectural design, the roof is a vital part, which carries multiple tasks such as waterproof, thermal insulation, thermal insulation, sound insulation and fire prevention. We need to ensure that the roof components have sufficient strength, rigidity and stability to cope with various environmental factors and building requirements.

Function first

As the "protective umbrella" of the house, the roof must first meet the requirements of waterproof and drainage, heat preservation and heat insulation. In the aspect of waterproof and drainage, impervious waterproof materials are selected with appropriate structural treatment to achieve effective waterproof and drainage effects. In terms of heat preservation, heat preservation materials are added to ensure that the indoor temperature is suitable in cold and cold areas; At the same time, the corresponding heat insulation design is adopted to provide summer shading for the southern region.

safety first

As a load-bearing structure, the roof needs to bear self-weight, live load and earthquake, so its structural strength, stiffness and stability are very important. Strive for simple roof structure, local materials, convenient construction, and control economic costs for future maintenance.

Artistic decoration

The roof is not only the load-bearing part of the building, but also the stage to show the artistic charm of the building. Its shape change and exquisite detail decoration endow the building with unique style and charm. Both traditional architecture and modern architecture should pay attention to the innovation and design of roof form and detail.
