Question 3: What materials is most of the roof made of?

Concrete slab:
Made of gravel, sand, cement and iron. The ceiling falls into this category, as well as the roofs of apartments constructed in buildings of two or more floors.

The sheets may be flat, corrugated or have another shape.

Fiber-cement laminate:
These are corrugated sheets made with New Technology laminate and free of asbestos. It belongs to the new generation of construction materials.

Tile:
Tile is commonly made of fired clay, and sometimes with cement.
