Many people like to compare resin roof tiles with stone coated metal roof tiles. Today, we will talk about the differences between stone coated roof tiles and resin roof tiles. Which type of roof is better?
Next, let's talk about the differences between these two roof tiles.
Material Composition
The stone coated metal roof tiles' bottom substrate is mainly fingerprint resistant galvalume steel plate, usually 0.3-0.55mm thick. Many wonder if this thickness is too thin to withstand typhoons and hail. The general wind resistance is related to the installation process, and secondly, the roofing has a certain hardness, so hail will not penetrate it. The surface of the stone coated metal roof tiles is a layer of colored sintered sand, which plays a certain decorative and noise reducing role.
Resin roof tiles are usually made of synthetic resin, so they are completely different from stone coated metal roof tiles in terms of material.
Service Life
In terms of service life, it is necessary to mention the materials used by both themselves. The aluminum zinc coated steel plate used for stone coated metal roof tile has anti-aging and corrosion resistance effects. According to the content of the zinc layer, the service life of roofing can be guaranteed for 30-50 years. At the same time, due to the acrylic resin used as the adhesive for bonding colored sintered sand to stone coated metal roof tile, which has waterproof and weather resistance, there is no need to worry about the problem of rain leakage and sand loss in the tiles in extreme cold and heat.
Resin roof tiles have certain limitations due to their artificial synthesis of high polymer materials. When facing extremely bad weather, there may be deformation problems, and many residents on the market have reported cracking and water leakage problems within 5-10 years.
Appearance Affect
When it comes to appearance, many customers who come into contact with stone coated metal roof tiles will sincerely sigh: the texture of stone coated metal roof tiles is much better than that of resin roof tiles. The resin roof tile itself appears to have a strong sense of plastic due to its synthetic material and lack of other auxiliary materials for decoration.
