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

Natural stone granule metal roofing material contributes to preventing heatstroke indoors.
About 30% of heatstroke cases occur indoors, and the number of people becoming dehydrated at home is increasing. 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.
Simple measures that can be taken at home to combat the heat island effect and prevent heatstroke include:
- Using air conditioning or fans
- Installing sunshades
- Opening windows for better ventilation
However, surprisingly few people are working on keeping indoor temperatures from rising. In fact, roof insulation and heat resistance 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," "making it difficult for snow to accumulate during snowfall," and "having beautiful roof patterns." The natural stones cool the heat and allow the heat absorbed by the roof from direct sunlight to escape from the sides.
Compared to "colored slate tiles," the structure with an air layer reduces temperatures by more than 10 degrees in outdoor settings. With excellent heat resistance, there is no need for insulation materials under the roofing! For more details, please visit.
