The roofing industry has seen great innovations over the last two to three decades and is continuously being blessed with newer technologies and product innovations that enhances the life of the structures and value of the properties. Structures of all categories whether it’s an old Madras roof terrace building, Modern day concrete buildings or Sheds with roofing sheets, rainwater harvesting is continuously propagated by Government bodies, Architects Landscape designers and roofing specialists like us. Rainwater harvesting is the most sustainable way of ground water recharge. It reduces the expectations on Government supplies and cuts down exorbitant spending on purchase of water through tanker lorries. If the families are able draw or pump good quality water for their day to day uses either partially or fully within their own piece of land, it will mean fewer number of fossil fuel operated tanker lorries plying on the roads, leading to savings on fossil fuel, less pollution and less traffic snarls and a cleaner and healthier environment. If the families are able to streamline their water dependency by administering a proper rainwater harvesting system withing their own properties, it will save huge amounts of tax payers money on Government spends on large scale water treatment and water supply projects. Savings on this account is directly beneficial to the Government and the public as the funds can be prudently invested on more important public welfare requirements such as healthcare, education and employment.

Modern construction technologies have provided several roofing options from the conventional brick and mortar-based buildings. Roofing sheets like Cement corrugated sheets, Bitumen fibre cellulose roofing sheets, Coated steel roofing sheets, Aluminium roofing sheets, PVC / uPVC roofing sheets, Polycarbonate roofing sheets, Bamboo mat corrugated roofing sheets and Insulated roofing panels are being used in domestic, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings and sheds. The pitched (sloped) roof in concrete slab or a steel / wooden framed structure with any one of the above-mentioned roofing sheets or paved with terracotta tiles require sturdy and corrosion resistant rainwater gutter system for effective implementation of rainwater harvesting system. We have seen building owners and roofing contractors implementing the rainwater harvesting system using rainwater gutters made from half cut PVC pipes or profiled from Galvalume / Galvanized sheets. Unfortunately, these systems tend to get damaged within few years of installation.
