Inexpensive and Beautiful Roofing

In this post, we would like to draw your attention to the roofing method that is used to add aesthetic value to your house or villa. See the conventional roofing of the house given in the picture below.  


 

According to our earlier roofing method, a casting is made of cement and concrete, and then roofing and cladding is done over this casting. This method is expensive and requires a lot of manpower and time for curing.

We recommend using cement fiber boards for roofing your house. Cement fiber boards cost less than the conventional materials, and we could install the roofing and cladding in a couple of days while achieving the desired aesthetics for your home. Given below are some samples of houses that have cement fiber boards for roofing.





 

 




Cement fiber boards have good resistance against heat, fire, water, and termites, and hence, we can use these boards to make roof underlays, which would then be fitted over strong frames. The cement fiber boards can be cut into tiles or shingles to achieve the desired aesthetic look before installing over the roof underlays.

This roofing system is best suited for houses, villas, resorts, and hotels. The materials that are used in roofing and cladding are 100% eco-friendly. The cost for installing this kind of roofing is 40% less than that of the conventional roofing.

You can email us your roofing requirements to futureinfrastructures@gmail.com, or post your requirements in comments and we will get back to you with a quote.

Exterior finish for buildings - Green cladding


Exterior cladding is the method of fixing materials such as tiles and marbles over the external wall or on the frame of a building. Exterior cladding serves a dual purpose of keeping the weather elements out and improving the aesthetic value of buildings.

Traditionally, tiles, marbles, granite, slate, and wood have been used for cladding. However, these materials only improve the aesthetic value of the building and do not provide any insulation or help you save energy.

Drawbacks of traditional cladding
  • Involves heavy investment on materials and labour
  • Requires more installation time and highly skilled labours
  • Uses non-eco-friendly materials
  • Non availability of materials for replacement
  • Proper fixing is not guaranteed because of pasting systems.


Green cladding is the method of cladding your home or building by using green products. Green cladding helps you save energy and your environment while also adding an aesthetic value to your home or building.

Advantages of green cladding
  • Uses pure eco-friendly materials
  • Easy and fast to install
  • Installation doesn't require highly skilled labour.
  • Green cladding materials can be painted or polished by using exterior weather coat materials based on your taste.
  • Materials can be fitted using fasteners, and hence there is no possibility of breakage.
  • Materials have a warranty of up to 50 years.
  • Materials can be used to sound proof your buildings.
  • Green cladding can protect you from extreme heat and cold climates and can act as a weather shield.
  • Wide range of designs can be achieved by changing the method of fixing the materials.
With the help of green cladding you can save energy by 30% and can reduce the cost of cladding by 40% when compared with traditional cladding systems. Green cladding can be done on internal walls to give better insulation and better aesthetic to your building. 

So, choose green products for your buildings and homes to save energy, cost and your environment.

Green cladding boards are available in various thicknesses and finishes such as Wooden Plank, Stone finish, and other designer finishes. A few of the cladding board samples are given below.
