Roofing is one of the most essential parts of a building. Over the


course of time the materials used have been changed from low lifespan
renewable material such as weaved coconut leaf, Palmyra leaf, paddy
straw etc. to longer life materials, Cement fiber sheets and galvanized

have a wide range of non-fading colors for UV protection. It is
