Sustainable living isn’t just about energy efficiency — it also includes water conservation. In regions like Kerala, where rainfall is abundant, roofing systems can play a crucial role in harvesting and managing rainwater. Rainwater-friendly roofs not only protect your home but also help you conserve water, reduce runoff, and contribute to eco-conscious living.
At Scaffs India, we offer roofing solutions designed to integrate rainwater management while maintaining durability and aesthetic appeal.
What Is a Rainwater-Friendly Roof?
A rainwater-friendly roofing system is engineered to:
Capture and channel rainwater efficiently
Reduce surface runoff and prevent erosion
Minimise water wastage and environmental impact
Integrate seamlessly with storage or irrigation systems
Such roofs are an essential component of sustainable building practices, particularly in tropical climates like Kerala’s.
Key Features of Rainwater-Friendly Roofing Systems

Efficient water collection
Reducing water pooling and roof damage
Enhancing longevity of roofing materials
