Roof slope
The roof should slope towards the north or east so that rainwater flows in those directions. The south-west should be the highest part of the roof.
Overhead structures
- Overhead water tank in the south-west or west.
- Solar panels in the south or south-east, where they also catch the most sunlight in India.
- Mumty (staircase room) in the south-west.
- Avoid heavy structures in the north-east of the roof.
Using the terrace
- A terrace garden is best in the north and east.
- Keep the terrace clean and free of junk.
- Seating and a pergola can go in the south-west.
Maintenance
Fix leaks, cracks and seepage quickly. Water seeping from the roof is linked in Vaastu with draining finances and health problems.
