Unlike lightweight polycarbonate or glass, these clay tiles are significantly heavy, which means the MS steel framework must be engineered specifically to handle this load without any risk of sagging over time. During my initial site visit, I conduct a structural load assessment to ensure your terrace or balcony slab can safely support the heavy-duty frame and tile assembly before we start any fabrication. ### Why Choose Mangalore Tile Roofing Mangalore tiles remain a favorite for a reason. Beyond the classic, traditional look, they offer excellent natural heat insulation. This makes the space underneath noticeably cooler, which is a major advantage during the peak of the Karnataka summer. Because we use a custom-fabricated MS steel frame, you get the benefit of this traditional roofing style without worrying about the structure weakening. ### The Fabrication Process Every pergola we build follows a strict sequence to ensure it lasts for years: * **Structural Planning:** We assess the site to determine the best slope for water runoff, ensuring heavy monsoon rains flow off the tiles rather than pooling. * **Custom Framework:** We use heavy-duty MS hollow pipes. Every joint is welded and ground smooth to provide a clean, secure base. We don't use standard factory kits; every frame is cut and welded on-site or in our workshop to fit your exact dimensions. * **Anti-Corrosion Treatment:** Before any tile is placed, the metal frame receives a coat of red oxide primer followed by two coats of weather-resistant synthetic enamel paint. This protects the steel from rust, which is essential for any outdoor structure. * **Tile Alignment:** Placing Mangalore double tiles is a manual process. My team ensures each tile is perfectly interlocked to block wind and pests, creating a seamless, uniform roof. ### Maintenance and Durability While this is a durable solution, it is important to note that clay tiles can be fragile if subjected to heavy impact. We recommend avoiding walking on the roof after installation. Regular upkeep is minimal, mainly consisting of an occasional wash to remove debris. If you are looking for a space that balances traditional charm with modern engineering, this is the most reliable option. ## About Iron-Crafts I'm Ahmed, and I've spent twenty years focused on high-quality fabrication.
