brown roofs are caused by rusting that is a chemical reaction that occurs on a zinc coated metal sheet.

at first the zinc been coated prevents rusting for a long time before it starts rusting thereby turning the roofs in to brownies (brown color)

today there are many homes with brown roofs without knowing the dangers and implications of it. brown roofs can be found anywhere but we have it in a commercial quantity in the SW or western Nigeria.


dangers of being a brownie (having a brown roofs)

* brown roofs are too dirty lacks prestige and causes embarrassments.

* brown roofs causes cancer and other epidemic diseases such as dysentery small pox.


prevention and treatment of brown roofs

* galvanizing the sheet with any protective coating material.

* buying original long lasting sheet.

* Use aluminum sheet instead of zinc sheet.

* educate your tribe, kindred and family on the dangers of having high rate of brown roofs and also the dangers.

* change your roofs

* eradicate poverty so that an average person will afford aluminum sheet.
