In modern architectural design, antique style is more and more favored, especially Chinese courtyard, ancient town commercial street, temples and other buildings, often need both traditional flavor and modern practicality of roofing materials. Polymer antique tiles came into being, which not only restore the rustic beauty of traditional tiles, but also have the advantages of light weight, durability and environmental protection.
The emergence of new materials also means to re-experience the test of the market, many people think that this polymer antique tile is “plastic tile”, his performance and service life skeptical. So today, we will talk about this polymer antique tile is what material, against the traditional tile what are the advantages and disadvantages?
As a matter of fact, this new polymer antique tile is by no means what we call “plastic tile”, but it is a one-time molding of BMC material through high-temperature molding. In a sense, indeed can become “plastic”, BMC is a real is a thermosetting plastic. But the composition is more complex, belongs to the composite material, never our traditional sense of “plastic”.
1. Ancient appearance, restore the flavor of ancient architecture
Polymer antique tile adopts advanced technology, surface texture, color are highly restored traditional clay tile, glazed tile texture, suitable for antique buildings, landscaping, etc., can be perfectly integrated into the ancient atmosphere.
2. Strong weather resistance and long service life
The polymer material has excellent resistance to ultraviolet rays, acid and alkali, freezing and thawing, and is not easy to fade and crack, the service life can reach more than 30 years, and it can adapt to all kinds of extreme climatic conditions.
3. Waterproof and fireproof, safe and reliable
Polymer antique tiles have good waterproof performance, tight joints, effectively preventing leakage; at the same time, they have B1 fireproof performance, which is in line with modern building safety standards.
4. Low maintenance cost
Traditional tiles are fragile and easy to weather, and need to be replaced regularly, while polymer antique tiles have strong impact resistance and require little daily maintenance, making them more economical for long-term use.
1. Slightly higher price than ordinary resin tiles
2. Limitations of antique style
Although the appearance is close to the traditional tile, the material is still modern synthetic material, for the pursuit of “original” ancient construction projects (such as cultural relics restoration), it may still need to use traditional tile materials.
