As the plane slowly descends and the city skyline spreads out before your eyes, have you ever noticed those colorful rooftops?
They are like jigsaw puzzles embedded in the urban fabric, constituting the “fifth façade” when we look down on the city. Nowadays, as new houses are being built and old cities are being remodeled, a quiet revolution in roof aesthetics is taking place.
The Neglected “Fifth Facade”: The Final Touch to the City's Face
For a long time, the urban roof has been regarded as a functional existence, with waterproofing and heat insulation as its core mission. However, with the deepening of the concept of urban renewal, the aesthetic value of the “fifth façade” is gradually being explored. It is not only the “hat” of the building, but also an organic part of the city image, carrying regional culture, aesthetic interest and the mark of the times.
Level to slope project not only solves the old building roof leakage, poor insulation of the stubborn disease, more city added a flowing landscape. In this change, the choice of material becomes the key to success or failure.
