20. Roof

In this chapter, there are three sections that list of the principal materials that are used in the construction of walls, roofs, and floors. In each of these sections, you will mark with an X the small box that corresponds to the main material that has been used in the walls, roofs, and floors, since frequently in one construction there are diverse materials used.

b) Roof: as roof material, you will write down the predominant material of the upper roof. In this way, if a building has two stories and it constitutes a single dwelling unit, and the roof of the second roof is metallic sheeting and the first floor is reinforced concrete, the material that should be reported is metallic sheeting. Although if in the two-story house there is a dwelling unit on each of the floors, the one that is one the first floor will inform that the roof is concrete and the one on the second floor will declare that (like in the first case) the roof is metallic sheeting.

The materials that have been chosen to make up the list of materials used in the construction of roofs are the following:

[p. 26]

Concrete: either in the form of a terrace or any other type (domed, concrete tiles, etc.).

Metallic sheeting: sheets of galvanized zinc, aluminum sheeting, etc.

Asbestos cement: either in the form of channeled or flat sheets, tile, etc.

Clay tile: the roofs made of clay tiles.

Straw, palms, and similar materials used in the rural constructions.

Other: as in the previous section, if the roof is made up of a material not specified in the previous list, such as wood, you will mark this small box and you will specify the type of material.
