Different roofing materials and methods are available to enhance functionality and require less maintenance. Pre- Paint Galvanized iron (PPGI) sheets and conventional cement roofing sheets are recommended, but asbestos cement sheets have limitations due to fragility and potential accidents during replacement. Pre- Paint Galvanized iron sheets have additional maintenance requirements due to corrosion, noise, and heat issues. Foundry industries face frequent maintenance and production cycle disruptions due to roofing cracking. The use of new materials for industrial roofs has not received much research, so selecting the latest materials techniques is crucial to increase production while minimizing roofing-related problems. Investing in long-lasting, resilient, and low-maintenance roofs is necessary since the firm has difficulties in sustaining continuous production and corrective roof maintenance. There is a demand for new, high-tech materials that can enhance roofing performance while remaining reasonably priced. Due to a lack of knowledge about its qualities and financial advantages, individuals still choose conventional roofing. In this research, new developments in roofing materials for foundry industries are explored.
