Ultimate Resort Roofing Solution

Why Decra is Ideal Solution for Resort

Island resort exposes to the stringent marine climate that creates a harsh and potentially corrosive environment for the resort’s buildings.

Constant maintenance is crucial to uphold the image of the resorts. Hence, it is utmost important for resort owner to carefully select a roofing solution that is durable, easy to maintain and will not cause much interruption to the resort operation during maintenance.

Unleash Your Freedom to Design

An architect’s design is often limited by the ability of the selected material in accommodating his designs. The value of a masterpiece design will be ZERO if there is no material that can suit the design requirement.

Decra Roofing System is flexible enough to be shaped into many designs, including coned and curved shape, or even an upside-down roof:

Long Life and Durable, Even in Marine Environment

Easy to Transport, Even to Island or Hill Sites

Traditional concrete and clay tiles can be bulky and heavy. One house-lot would require one average-size truck for transport. The same truck could carry enough Decra tiles for about 10 homes, using less energy (and therefore less carbon) to transport.

Leak Proof Solution

No More Broken Tiles

Decra Roofs are unbreakable, eliminating leaks due to broken tiles.

Decra Offers Outstanding Wind Uplift Resistant Performance

Decra Roofing Systems use unique horizontal fastening solution which prevent wind uplift force of up to 120mph (circa. 193 km/h). Hence, eliminate possible leakages due to wind uplift issue.

Unique Accessories That Prevent Rainwater Seepage Through Joints

Decra Roofing Systems' unique treatment to roof joints that either bend the tiles upward at ridges, hips, barges & other joints; or bend the tiles downward at valley, create a second barrier for the roofing systems to prevent possible rainwater seepages through roof joints.

Most importantly, it DOES NOT REQUIRE any leak proof roof components such as the waterproofing dry fix for ridge & hip, as well as the expensive tile clips that are commonly used in the traditional concrete and/or clay roofing systems to secure cut tiles and prevent wind up-lift force.

Easy to Maintain with Washable Feature

Algae & fungus growth on roof is a situation that is difficult to deal with in tropical climate. Whole year round warm-to-hot and moist climate encourages growth of algae & fungus on the roof, causing unpleasant looks on our home.

Who doesn’t hate fungus/ algae that spoil our beautiful house? But the fact is, we cannot avoid it because of tropical climate, it is more frustrating when there isn’t an effective solution to clean it!

Some people attempt to clean the algae/ fungus with various cleaning solutions, but the results are often below expectation. We are absolutely sure that the result of roof cleaning as shown below is totally unacceptable to all home owners. However, unless we repaint it (short term solution), or reroof it (be prepared for a big budget, and to vacant your home), it is going to be looked as such.

The process of repainting and reroofing is not just costly and time consuming, the construction waste that generated during the process will also add unnecessary burdens to the mother nature when the wastes eventually goes into the landfill. That would be deviating from the objective of maintaining a GREEN & sustainable environment.

In Decra, we believe in providing a durable and sustainable roofing solution to our customers. Decra Roofing Systems are cleanable, and can be easily restored to its original condition even on a D.I.Y. basis. Thus, it eliminates the needs to repaint (roof), or reroof our home in the long run.

Cleaning of Decra Roofing Systems is SIMPLE, all you need is:

  • A pressured water jet (similar to the one you use to clean your car), and clean water.
  • Decra Roof Wash cleaning agent (if you intend to keep the algae/ fungus away for a relatively longer time).

The result of the cleaning is marvellous; the 26 year old roof on our Nilai plant was restored many times into “showroom condition” since the plant was built in 1985 by a simple cleaning process as shown below. That’s what we call a sustainable roofing system.

Decra Roofing System is the choice of many hotel/ resort operators around the world because of its unique aesthetic looks and superior performance under extreme weather condition, as well as for its easy maintenance feature. By installing Decra Roofing System, the operators will no longer require to temporarily shut down their operation (loss of income) for roof maintenance (repainting or reroofing), cleaning of Decra roof is simple, fast and cost effective.
