Kerala’s rich architectural legacy is full of heritage buildings—ancestral homes, traditional tharavads, old wooden cottages, and sacred structures. But time, weather, and urbanisation take a toll. Restoring these treasures demands more than just repairs—it requires roofing materials that preserve the look while upgrading the performance.
At Scaffs India, we bridge the gap between history and innovation with roofing shingles that retain classic aesthetics while delivering today’s durability standards.
🏛️ The Roofing Challenge in Heritage Restoration
When retrofitting heritage buildings, conventional roofing tiles often fall short. Common issues include:
Incompatibility with modern underlayment systems
Excessive weight on older wooden trusses
Mismatch in traditional textures or tones
Poor resistance to Kerala’s monsoons and humidity
What’s needed is a shingle system that’s lightweight, climate-proof, and visually timeless.
