It may seem to an unprecedented person that the roof from reeds is an ancient and uncompetitive type of roof, unacceptable in modern construction technologies. This is wrong. The reed roofing today refers to exclusive and quite expensive roofing materials. The cost of laying reed roofs is comparable to the cost of using natural tiles. And all because the reeds are grown and further processed according to modern technologies that give it special properties of durability.
The reed roof can be arranged if the slope of the roof is at least 45 degrees for complete and quick rolling of water. It is laid with a reed with a layer of at least 30 cm thick, which provides all the necessary hydro- heat and sound insulation, therefore, laying additional vapor barrier, as well as waterproofing is not required. Especially reed roofing is recommended when the cover space will be used as a living. Kamysh keeps heat in winter and cool in the summer. The service life of the reed roof is at least 50 years, at the same time it is extremely resistant to the strongest storms and hurricanes, like no other type of roofing coatings.
