A high priority should be given to fire safety in buildings for the life and property safety of every person living in the city. Roofs can be one of the most important causes of fire hazard in buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the compliance of all buildings, which are workplaces, houses and common use in social life, with the Regulation on the Protection of Buildings from Fire. The precautions to be taken against the possible fire danger that may occur on the roofs are required. Accordingly, it is necessary to use fire-resistant materials that are difficult to catch on roofs. In fact, it is stated that only non-combustible materials can be used in buildings with a certain height.

Because of the flammable materials used in the buildings, the fire that started as a small house fire can prepare the ground for a big disaster. For this reason, the fire regulations make it mandatory to use non-flammable or hardly flammable materials especially in buildings. 

Roofs are one of the elements that can increase the fire hazard in buildings. Unfortunately, heavily flammable and easily flammable materials are used predominantly on roofs. This means creating a kind of oil cover on the roofs. When there is an oil cover on the building, fire disasters that cause serious damage, loss of life and property are inevitable as can be predicted. 

In addition, the use of light materials on roofs in recent years causes the roof cover to deform in a very short time. As a result, a medium-sized storm can easily blow off the roof, the roof can be damaged by hail and torrential rain, or a major fire disaster can occur with a small spark.

For all these reasons, the use of Broof grade materials on roofs has become mandatory with the regulation. However, unfortunately, people continue to live under flammable roof covers in buildings, as adequate control has not been done yet. This increases the likelihood of people facing a major fire disaster anytime. The Regulation on the Protection of Buildings from Fire can be examined in detail here.

Generally, there is wood or OSB at the bottom of the roof layers, oil-derived waterproofing material in the middle layer, and petroleum-derived roofing material on the top layer. However, these practices always invite fire. Because, according to the regulation, the top layer of roofs, which are made of petroleum derivative, easily flammable materials such as OSB or wood, can only be made with non-combustible materials. In roofs made of easily flammable material such as wood, when the roof surface is covered with only non-combustible materials, it is possible to prevent the progress of the flames in the event of a fire and to control the fire before it becomes a major disaster.

Especially in high-rise buildings and adjacent structures, the roof carrier system and roof coverings should be made only from non-combustible materials. Considering the buildings that are both high and adjacent in the Marmara region, it becomes clear how vital this requirement is.
