A concrete roof is exactly what it sounds like.
Slab roof houses.
A solid slab of concrete capping the top of your house.
This is one of the types of concrete slabs.
One concern is that the concrete must develop the compressive strength intended by the structural engineer in the design of the roof deck.
For example the florida based company hurricane proof systems offers a 7 inch 18 centimeter slab of concrete in three layers.
This kind of chajja slab is provided in drawing rooms and kitchen for storing house material.
Exact specifications vary but most concrete roofs are several inches thick.
A slab foundation is made of concrete that is typically 4 6 thick in the center.
The foundation that your house is built on can have a major impact on the structural integrity of your home.
The usual difference between low roof slab and room chajja is low roof slab hides house material and whereas room chajja or loft doesn t hide house material they are open and provided above the door side.
Ask any architect and they ll tell you that hardly any other type of architecture is as timeless and modern as that of flat roof houses.
