Tiles
Storyboard
After completing the installation of the SIP elements on the roof, protective layers are applied to prevent moisture penetration or reduce its impact. Once these layers are in place, crossbeams are installed, followed by the roofing tiles. In this case, imitation colonial tiles in dark orange will be used, as they are durable and lighter than real tiles.
