Usapang roof (bubong)

[joma_s]

kapag hinde tama ang interlocking (for example niremedyohan lang) chances are mechanicaly weak at saka mawawala ang "homogenousness" making it weak and suceptible sa water drip.

[ingliscarabao]

unlike the usual corrugated type roof...kahit anong brand ang bilin mo parehas ang profile. unlike mga rib type na iba iba ang interlocking designs ng bawat manufacturer. CMIIW naka patent pa yung ibang interlocking design kaya hindi pwedeng gayahin. kung reremedyuhan mo naman yung rib type na malaki ang i-overlap eh masasayang yung yero...masyado liliit ang effective coverage. rib type kasi ay designed para ma-maximize yung effective coverage ng yero.

tanong lang po... yung roof na rib type ba ay meron lang portion na dapat tapakan in case kelangan may umakyat sa bubong...?
mataas kase ang roof namin and malabo ako makahanap ng scafoldings para i-check yung alulod na nag-start tumulo yung dugtungan after Basyang pero meron naman katabi na downsprout...
di ko rin sure baka nabara ng nilipad na mga dahon yung downsprout namin. =(

Kailangan umapak ka sa may mga pamakuan. Avoid the in in-betweens. Mas safe kung umarkila ka na ng scaffolding. Mura lang naman ang arkila per se. Ang mahal lang yung deposito pero refundable naman.

thanks cyber... nagtatanung-tanung pa ko ng scaffolding malapit sa area.

ilang millimeter ba ang pinakamakapal na bubong ngayon? At anong brand ito?

Plants have been used on roofs for thousands of years, from sod roofs in Europe to the hanging gardens of Babylon. But in the last 50 years this practice has evolved into what are now called green roofs, living roofs or eco-roofs. Green roofs are those that have been planted with specific vegetation using a well-researched sustainable design methodology. They are an exciting new development in the sustainable building movement, and are gaining in popularity across the world.

Types of Green Roof
While there is no standard classification for green roofs, they can be divided into two basic types:

* Intensive Living Roofs - these incorporate plants from between 1 to 15 feet high, including shrubs and trees. They require deep levels of soil to support them and a weight-loading roof. They support a high level of plant and wildlife diversity, but require ongoing maintenance and extensive irrigation. They are not suitable for most domestic buildings.

* Extensive Living Roofs - these incorporate low-lying plants from 2 to 6 inches high. They require only a few inches of soil to support them, and only need a low weight-loading roof. They are low maintenance and can be used for any kind of roof, including sheds, garages, houses, balconies, extensions and outhouses, and also commercial buildings.

Both types of green roofs can be used for flat or pitched roof construction. Flat roofs are the most common and the easiest to establish and maintain, but green roofs can have a pitch up to 45 degrees. With sloped roofs, there are design issues affecting drainage and soil loss that need to be carefully considered.

Benefits of Green Roofs
There are a number of social, economic and environmental benefits to green roofs, including:

* Increasing home energy efficiency - cooling in summer, insulation in winter
* Filtering and cleaning toxins from both air and water
* Reducing carbon dioxide emissions
* Retaining rainwater before it evaporates, reducing the likelihood of flooding
* Reducing urban temperatures and associated smog
* Insulating against sound and noise
* Preserving and enhancing biodiversity
* Providing aesthetic appeal and 'green space' recreational opportunities
* Using recycled materials like aggregates and plastic sheets

thanks sa mga sagot, napaayos ko na ang bubong ko. ilang ulan na din ang dumaan at wala ng tulo :-)

Pero eto may napansin lang ako sa bubong... usually kapag walang ulan naririnig ko sa CR namin kasi may bukasan ng ceiling iyong CR at hindi ko pa ito nababalik. napansin ko parang may kumukulong sound or tumatapik/kumakatok sa bubong. Baket ganun? Pag gabi naman wala akong naririnig na ganun. LOLOL.

Here in Philippine soil, one of the brands of Green Wall and Green Roof offered here is named Elmich.

The Elmich Green Roof is made of 100% recycled plastic, and it can be partially or totally covered by plants. So what are the advantages of a plant-covered roof? That means less rain water runoff, less energy consumption due to cooler insides of the house, less air pollution since plants breathe in carbon and air particles, less noise as plants provide a sound buffer, and less harmful effects from UV rays.

[tholits1224]

Meanwhile, the Elmich Green Wall is similar to the Green Roof in the sense that you can also put plants in them. It has grids where you can plant herbs or vegetables in between, so it also offers the same advantages like better house insulation, noise reduction, and sunlight absorption.

You can contact the Philippine distributor of Elmich to know more about their Green Roof and Green Wall - SuperSonic Manufacturing and look for Ms. Josie Muñoz, Product Manager

Question ulit. iyong bubong kasi namin parang naka shape as a triangle parang ganito: /\. Napansin ko kanina kasi tumingin ako sa butas ng kisame namin sa CR (may butas kasi iyon parang manhole), napansin ko iyong top portion ng bubong may nakikita akong light source. Iyong buong linya nun sa taas may nakikita akong sinag nag araw pero di ko naman nakikita iyong ulap. (see figure below and focus on the horizontal line). So kung isaside view iyong bubong parang ganito:

/---------\ Iyong horizontal line paki akyat na lang sa top ng dalawang lines (left and right).

Does that mean, pwedeng pasukan ng tubig iyon? Rib type po iyong bubong namin.

[copinako]

@jeddski. What's your opinion of the Banawe roof by Puyat Steel? Would you have an idea kung magkano ang per sqm?

Thank you

Ano ang magandang paint sa bubong. Maganda ba ang rain or shine compare sa boysen? Ano ba yung paint na nakakapigil din ng init?

[einhander]

pag nagpapagawa ka ng bahay na concrete ang pader at slab of concrete ang bubong, bubong lang ba lalagyan ng waterproofing or pati walls?

ngayon kasi yung pinapagawa namin na 2 floors eh 1 floor pang ang buo, so yung sahig na semento sa 2nd floor eh nag-a-act as roof temporarily, eh wala itong waterproofing kaya tumatagos "daw" yung tubig dito pag umuulan at nakikita kong basa ang pader. iniisip ko baka kailangan din ng pader waterproofing.

[cyberfunk]

As far as walls are concern, medyo hit or miss talaga. May makikita kang bahay with a firewall that was plainly plastered but there's no water seepage others are less fortunate. There's several factors that causes this. Sometimes water seeps from the top part of the wall kase yung flashing doesn't goes all the way to the other side of the wall. Minsan naman sa orientation ng bahay yung side ng wall the yun gets the most rainfall or next to another firewall and water gets trapped between two walls. Yung plaster sometimes may crack or bitaw na sa hallow block so may way pumasok ang tubig and with the gap gumagapang sa loob ang tubig. Sometimes the moisture on the interior walls isn't really coming from the outside but condensation or moisture from a poorly ventilated interior.

As preventive measure, Just make sure the flashing are properly installed, You can ad an additive to the cement for the plastering of the wall like a water proofing compound like SAHARA and have the walls painted with cementicious/rubberized elastomeric paints.

may disadvantage din ba kung roof deck ang pagagawa?

we're planning to change our roof kasi tinatapakan ng kapitbahay namin yung yero tsaka pag may tumalon na pusa nagdedent agad.

Steel roofing especially the traditional corrugated type maingay pag malakas ang araw. This is normal, especially when sun hits it and hides behind clouds, heat expands and contracts roof sheets.
A big factor to consider when having a house constructed is to make the roof less complicated, easier to maintain as well. Good paint that I recommend is still Boysen Roofguard, it is durable, easy to use since water based sya and covers a lot. For a 4 gallon it should be more than enough for average sized roof. Bear in mind though that roof should be repainted at least every 5 years. For roof holes the best brand is vulcaseal, tested this already. Resilient to UV damage, slightly flexible and can be painted over. When servicing your roof make sure to step on the framing, as what was mentioned by cyber, yung pamakuan. Stepping otherwise may pull up the nail or screw and this will cause leaks when it rains. You can apply vulcaseal on the nail/ screw heads if this occurs.
I find almost all brands of roofing to be the same in terms of durability, for lack of scientific lab tests we cannot know for sure. Just MAINTAIN your roof by painting this. I see a lot of these already in state of decay because the house owner simply does not want to spend P2,300 for a 4gallon paint and labor - instead opting to buy a better cellphone, car accessory and what not. Prioritize!!! Money spent on your house is an investment, not a loss compared to cars, electronic gadgets. I see alot of houses that are in a state of disrepair, nature is the worst enemy. Clean your gutters of leaves, better to trim trees overhanging your roof.

question po sa mga experts natin dito...

tumutulo kasi yung bubong namin, napa-rain or shine paint na namin ito siguro two years ago, nawala naman tulo. pero this year meron na naman at mukhang mas marami ng holes judging from the mapa sa kisame.

so sabi ng husband ko baka dapat magpalit na talaga ng bubong, and he is thinking of asphalt shingles. nagpunta kami sa Multi-line along edsa to inquire. wala pa kaming proposal so hindi ko pa alam price implications.

ako gusto ko sana kahit long-span lang na bubong para medyo mura. from the looks of it mukhang mahal pag shingles. pero admittedly maganda itsura nya.

ang question ko is, saan ba talaga mas makaka-tipid, sa shingles o long-span?

sabi kasi ng husband ko pag long-span may babaguhin pa yata sa framing o trusses o parlina ba yun... so malaki din daw magagastos tapos need pa din i-maintain parang ordinary na bubong. maingay pa pag umuulan.

pag shingles daw, medyo mahal kesa long span, pero virtually maintenance free kasi di na need i-vulcaseal or things like that every so often. hindi pa daw maingay pag umuulan unlike yero, tsaka since me plywood undersheeting, kahit daw ipatanggal na namin yung kisame for better air circulation sa loob ng bahay.

ano po ba masasabi nyo dito? may mare-recommend ba kayong nag-eestimate, nagbebenta at nag-iinstall ng long-span? or kahit ordinary karpentero lang pwede na magkabit ng long-span?

gusto ko din kasi pa-estimate kung magkano pag long-span para naman mai-compare sa shingles. kung hindi lang problema budget madali sana mag-decide na shingles na nga lang.

[basbr]

i'm not an expert. share ko lang experience ko sa shingles. i think mas mahal ang shingles kasi when my house was constructed, long span din ang original agreed roofing. i decided to change it to shingles. my builder asked an additional of around 30 to 40 thousand to the original contract price. may not be that much dahil hindi naman malaki ang canopy ng bubong namin. ang alam ko my builder subcontracted the whole roof thing, or the price of shingles already included installation. hindi lahat ng karpentero alam how to work with shingles.

i decided on shingles for esthetic purpose and more. mas maganda talaga sya. hindi rin sya maingay kung umuulan. kung tama ang installation, wala kang problema sa tulo. it's supposed to be less hot than steel roof. pero feeling ko mainit pa rin when sun is hot. maybe kulang sa vent ang ceiling.
