Common sense: Can I install roofing@penthouse

[Cecil Lee]

1. Often, a client who owns a penthouse unit that has a roof garden; would ask me:
1.1. Can I install a piece of roofing on my penthouse roof?
1.2. Many penthouse roof tops do have trellis. And most trellis are made of wood and are not enclosed. This is perfectly OK. As there are sufficient openings and if the trellis wood pieces are secure, no amount of wind would affect it.
1.3. BUT... if we are considering to install e.g. a piece of roofing SHEET: When we install e.g. such as the Dupont 2ply roofing material, if it is not secured properly and/or if there is an unusually large wind; may just blow the roof off.
1.3.1 And just imagine, the roof flows down and it may inadvertently in a freak accident guillotine someone's head off!
1.4. In addition, those thin roofs or made of aluminium can be pretty noisy - especially during a downpour.
2. Thus, this is another example of applying simple Common sense.
3. If you want to say this is "not good Feng Shui"; one is not entirely wrong.
3.1 As I had mentioned numerous times that many Feng Shui concepts originated from pure common sense.
