7、 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do colored stone tiles in rainy areas require an additional drainage layer
A: Need to handle according to different situations:
-Flat roof (slope<15 °): It is recommended to install PVC drainage film (cost $1.2/m ²)

Sloping roof (slope>30 °) : The SKW Slope model has integrated high drainage design and does not require additional layers

Q: How to determine if the existing roof drainage capacity is insufficient
A: Three warning signals:

  1. There is still significant water accumulation one hour after the rainfall ends
  2. Continuous water curtain like overflow appears at the eaves
  3. Radiant water stains appear on the ceiling
