1. Ubude: Ubude bezikhonkwane zokuphahla ozikhethayo buya kuxhomekeka kubukhulu bezinto zokuphahla ozisebenzisayo, kunye nobunzulu bomgangatho wophahla.Izikhonkwane ezimfutshane ziqhele ukusetyenziselwa izinto ezibhityileyo ezifana neeshingles ze-asphalt, ngelixa iinzipho ezinde zifuneka kwizinto ezityebileyo ezinje ngeenkuni okanye isileyiti.
2. Uhlobo lweNtloko: Izikhonkwane zophahla ziza kwiindidi zeentlobo zeentloko, kubandakanywa iintloko eziqhelekileyo eziqhelekileyo, iintloko ezinkulu, kunye nezikhonkwane ze-cap.Uhlobo lwentloko olukhethayo luya kuxhomekeka kuhlobo lwezinto zokuphahla ozisebenzisayo kunye nenqanaba elifunwayo lokubamba amandla.Intloko enkulu, umzekelo, inokufuneka kwizinto ezithandwa kakhulu ukutyibilika okanye ukuguquka.
3. Uhlobo lwe-Shank: Izikhonkwane zophahla nazo ziza kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo ze-shank, kubandakanywa nezikhonkwane ze-shank ezigudileyo zezixhobo ezithambileyo kunye nezikhonkwane ze-ring-shank kwizinto ezilukhuni njengemithi.Izikhonkwane ze-ring-shank zinemiphetho edibeneyo ebanceda ukuba babambe izinto ngokukhuselekileyo, ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokukhupha isikhonkwane okanye ukutshintshwa kwezinto.
4. I-Galvanization: Izikhonkwane zophahla ezifakwe kwi-galvan zigqunywe ngumaleko we-zinc, onceda ukukhusela i-rust kunye ne-corrosion.Oku kubaluleke kakhulu kuphahla kwiindawo ezinamaqondo aphezulu omswakama okanye imvula rhoqo, njengoko inokwandisa kakhulu ixesha lokuphila kwezipikili.
Ukuququmbela, izikhonkwane zokuphahla zidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuqinisekiseni ukuba izinto zokuphahla ziqiniswe ngokukhuselekileyo kwi-roof roof, ukukhusela isakhiwo kwizinto kunye nokugcina uphahla oluqinileyo, oluzinzile.Xa ukhetha izikhonkwane zokuphahla, kubalulekile ukuqwalasela izinto ezifana nobude, uhlobo lwentloko, uhlobo lwe-shank, kunye ne-galvanization ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukhetha uhlobo olufanelekileyo lweprojekthi yakho ethile.Ngezikhonkwane zokuphahla ezifanelekileyo, unokuqinisekisa ukuba iprojekthi yakho yokuphahla iya kuba yimpumelelo, kunye nophahla olukhuselekileyo, oluzinzile, kunye nolwakhelwe ukuhlala.
