Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="UY06A035"><span class="em">3. What is the predominant material of the roof? </span><br /><br />This refers to the structural materials and not to the ceiling. In constructions of a multi-story building, it corresponds to the material of the roof of the building.<br /><br />Circle code 1 if it deals with a heavy material like pieces of concrete, slabs, etc. always when it has some covering that isolates it from humidity (tiles, asphalt, sand, waterproof plaster, Portland cement, etc.).<br /><br />If it doesn't have this protection or insulation, circle code 2.<br /><br />In the cases of light roofs, that is to say fiber cement paneling (Dolmenit, Eternit, Fibrolit, etc.), zinc or tiles supported by wood ties, specify the existence or not of a flat ceiling by circling code 3 or 4 according to what corresponds. It is understood that the dwelling has a flat ceiling when the exterior material of the roofs is not visible from the interior of the rooms. This is, when there is a lining of plastic foam, wood, plaster, etc. which is used to isolate or decorate. In order to identify the waste material, use the same criteria as in the previous question.<br /><br />In the case that the predominant material of the roof is wood and tiles, you must use ceiling material to make the light roof match.<br /></svar>
