Give a second life to bottles, tires and cans!
Free roofing materials can be found easily. Where? In the junkyard! Garbage is becoming an increasing problem every day and it needs to be addressed somehow. For example, start up construction. The appearance of these materials, of course, is not very good, but they will fulfill their function.
There is hardly a roofing material stronger and more reliable than a tire. This car accessory uses the most durable rubber, which is reinforced by a metal court. Such a roof is not afraid of even hail from an ostrich egg! What hail is there - she will withstand a meteorite!
Lovers of beer and other drinks can cover the roof with their own container. For example, plastic is durable, strong and lightweight, and will work well as a roofing material. And the aluminum can will serve as a good tile. The main thing here is that the arms grow from the right place.
Keeping pace with the environment
There is a wide range of natural roofing materials. Turf roofs are quite popular in Europe. The roof is a lawn, so to speak. Just wondering how she behaves in the rain? Write your opinion in the comments.
Reed is a material that has been proven for centuries. This plant in dried form has been used in adobe construction since time immemorial. Due to its environmental friendliness, reeds are in high demand in Europe. By the way, reed mats are exported there, including from Russia.
And for such a roof, powerful walls are needed, because a real stone goes on it as a covering! This is a slate roof. Only not the kind that is sold in hardware stores, but from solid stones. Eco-friendly, powerful, but heavy to build.
Well, another option is shingles. This also applies to old technologies. Houses and other buildings were covered with wood chips or shingles in the Middle Ages. The material is not bad, but it is fire hazardous and not very durable. It requires compulsory treatment with fire and bioprotection.
