Why Nicosia homes get this: Nicosia roofs are predominantly flat or shallow-pitched with bitumen/PVC membrane, exposed to extreme UV (~3,300 sunshine hours per year), giving membrane life of 8–12 years versus 20+ in northern Europe. Without coastal salt the structures last longer, but the intense inland heat bakes membranes harder, and the brief but intense November–February rain season exposes any weakness. Historic old-town roofs inside the Venetian walls require conservation-compliant restoration.
