Heatstroke measures that go beyond just air conditioning: Considering roofs in architecture and renovation.

Natural stone particle metal roofing material contributes to heatstroke prevention indoors.
About 30% of heatstroke cases occur indoors, and there is an increasing number of people becoming dehydrated at home. This is particularly concerning for the elderly, who may experience severe cases. It is a time to consider "heatstroke prevention" beyond just air conditioning and hydration.
When thinking about easy measures to combat the heat island effect and prevent heatstroke at home, people often consider:
- Using air conditioning or fans
- Installing sunshades
- Opening windows for better ventilation
However, surprisingly few people focus on preventing indoor temperatures from rising. In fact, roof insulation and heat shielding are considered crucial for lowering indoor temperatures.
The surface of Metro Tiles is covered with finely crushed natural stones from New Zealand. This provides various benefits, such as "reducing rain noise," "preventing snow from accumulating during snowfall," and "aesthetically pleasing roof patterns." The natural stones help cool the heat and allow the heat absorbed by the roof from direct sunlight to escape from the sides.
In comparison to "colored slate tiles," the structure with an air layer can reduce temperatures by over 10 degrees in outdoor settings. With excellent heat shielding performance, there is no need for insulation materials beneath the roofing! For more details, please refer to...
