Roofing Work

Steel-based building systems are durable, easy to construct, economical, and enable flawless production. They allow for safe manufacturing and installation in a short time under all weather conditions. Compared to other building types, they are lighter and more resistant to disasters such as earthquakes. The fact that steel is a recyclable material makes it more preferred in the construction industry. In addition, because the building components and construction system are lightweight, they are less exposed to seismic forces and reduce the load on the building. For this reason, lightweight steel roof systems are often preferred for the roofs of concrete structures and rolled profile steel construction buildings. In steel building systems, roof forms are applied as sloped roofs and terrace roofs. In light steel buildings, surfaces with a slope of less than 600 are not analyzed as walls but as sloped roofs. With light steel construction, sloped roofs such as single-sloped roofs, gable roofs, shed roofs, and mansard roofs are constructed. Roof construction is solved with rafters or trusses, but the truss solution is not preferred as it strains the system economy. In terrace roofs, the parapet height is limited to a maximum of 1 m according to the building regulations in force in Turkey.
