Types of climate in any city or country has the main role in choosing roof materials and Iraq is no exception. Roof materials in Iraq depend also on other factors such as budget and personal preferences. All 3 roof types in Iraq are common including flat roofs, pitched and curved roofs. In this article we will dig more into it.
Most parts of Iraq has long, hot, dry summers and short, cool winters. In fact Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iraq are among the hottest countries in the Middle East. This include Baghdad which has a hot desert climate. Considering this, the best roofing materials in Iraq must be able to resist UV rays and provide a cool roof.
These types of roof sheets become more important when you want to use them for carports and awnings.
Materials such as asphalt, metal and PVC roofs can be some poor choices. As metal panels can absorb heat due to their thermal conductivity properties. The contraction and expansion of metals by heat is another drawbacks that can easily damage these roof materials in hot places like Baghdad. Regarding PVC roof sheets, deformation of the panels might be a serious issue. PVC roofing can experience shrinkage in long hours of heat exposure. This is due to the low melting point of PVC which can limit roof’s lifespan.
Certain roof materials in hot temperature of Iraq – such as asphalt shingles -will absorb heat and transfer it under the roof. Besides, Heat will break down the pigments of shingles and the colors can gradually fade away. So, as you can see, it is very important to choose the right roofing materials in hot places like Iraq, UAE or Saudi Arabia.
There are some roof materials to consider in Iraq and other warm areas. Such as clay tiles, UPVC sheets, and cool roofs made of reflective coating materials with bright colors. These coatings can help reflect sunlight and heat away from your home, keeping it cooler and potentially reducing energy costs.
In hot climates, clay roofs offer several advantages. Clay tiles are known for their durability and ability to withstand high temperatures. This is making them great roof materials for countries like Iraq which has intense heat.
They have natural thermal insulation properties, helping to keep your home cooler and lower the cost of energy. Additionally, clay roofs are fire-resistant and can last for decades with proper maintenance, making them a long-term investment for homeowners in the Middle East.
Now, before we get into advantages of this one, we must clarify the differences between UPVC and PVC roof materials. UPVC is a rigid PVC with some additives to ensure that the polymer materials can withstand high heat better.
Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride or UPVC roofs are lightweight, durable, and resistant to extreme weather conditions. They are a suitable roof materials for Iraq and other high temperature areas. This is due to excellent thermal insulation properties. This will help to keep your home cooler and reduce energy bill on AC. UPVC roofs are also low maintenance, resistant to corrosion, and can withstand UV rays, making them a long-lasting and cost-effective option for homeowners in hot climates.
It’s always a good idea to consult with professional manufacturers, suppliers and roofers before purchasing any roof types. This helps to determine the best option for your specific climate and style of building.
