In India, roof top extensions weren’t quite popular in the past. They were generally seen as an element to add an aesthetic appearance to a house. Roof top extensions, undoubtedly, add a very aesthetic elegance to any structure. But they serve many more purposes than that like less power consumption, creating more space, providing a shield to the structure, etc., and are swiftly catching up as sought after option due to the many benefits they provide.
Volta Green Structures lists down the primary benefits of Rooftop extensions here, as below:
- Energy Savings:
Roof top extensions help in saving a lot of energy due to the additional insulation they provide to the structure as well as providing better cooling in hotter areas due to evapotranspirative cooling effect. It also shields the residents from harsh UV rays. Without the roof top extension, there is much more power consumption to heat and cool the house depending on the changing weather conditions.
Steel roof top extensions, done by Volta Green Structures, are particularly more cost effective when compared to traditional roofing material due to its durability and low maintenance requirement, while also being easy and quick to install. - Durability:
Due to their insulating properties, roof extensions minimize the temperature fluctuations, thus extending the life of the roof membrane. Since steel is highly resistant to weathering, it gives an added advantage in the durability of the roof extension in changing weather conditions. It is water proof, heat resistant and relatively flexible and lightweight than tiles used for roofing extensions.The previous projects of Volta Green Structures related to rooftop extensions stand testament to the durability of the structures, when built with steel, despite the differing weather conditions.
- Provides more space:
People generally use roof extensions to create more space. It is much cheaper than moving to an entirely new place and also gives a new, better look to the old property. The same piece of land now creates more room to accommodate more people or things.Having said that, safety should be a major concern, with regards to the strength of the structure. This is exactly where steel takes a leapfrog jump ahead of the brick & mortar construction, providing great strength to the structure, as done by Volta Green Structures.
While roof top extensions come in various materials, steel poses a lot of benefits due to its versatile properties. It is sustainable, economical, and gives a neat finish to the structure. Prefabricated steel roofing extensions can be installed at site, that takes 1/3rd of the time to install traditional roofing.
At Volta Green Structures, we specialize in designing the best steel structures and a fine workmanship to perfect every job. Steel itself is an eco-friendly construction material and is fast replacing other, non-renewable sources of construction material. Volta Green is proud to be a pioneer in the process of replacing the traditional methods for better, more sustainable practices.
