Sangobuild has been working in the field of roofing materials for almost 20 years, and friends usually come to me to help solve roof problems.
A friend came to ask me a few days ago, and he knew that I was making roofing materials. He told me that his house had been built for almost 10 years, and there were a few cases of water leakage in the past. Now, whenever it rains, it leaks, which is particularly painful. He asked me to give him a quick solution. Before, I would usually ask my friends to contact a waterproof company to handle it, after all, the house hasn't been installed for long.
Nowadays, many people's houses have a longer lifespan. After a long period of exposure to sunlight and rain, the walls on the roof also begin to crack and age, so it is no longer waterproof.
Since my friends have come to me for help, I naturally want to sincerely offer my own suggestions and solutions. Speaking of this method, friends who have renovated their houses may also know that the only way to keep a flat roof watertight is to convert it to a sloping roof. Only sloping roofs can solve the long-term problem of not having to worry about water leakage.
My friend has also learned about my suggestion online before and deeply agrees with it. However, the main issue now is, if it is converted to a sloping roof, which type of roof tile should be laid that is durable and waterproof?
Cement roof tiles are a type of tile that I believe everyone has already become accustomed to. Why are you used to it? The main reason is that it is cheap and practical. Many years ago, tiled houses were built with cement roof tiles installed in every household, and it goes without saying that the economic situation is the top reason.
Now it seems that cement tiles are particularly bulky and easy to break, with a single color and a uniform gray-black feel. Of course, from a practical perspective, it is used to block wind and rain, and the price is also cheap, which can be considered as a reference.
Glazed roof tiles have been particularly popular in recent years, especially in new luxury residential courtyards. They should not only have the practicality of sheltering from wind and rain but also reflect wealth and grandeur. Indeed, the appearance of glazed tiles is impeccable, as the specialized tiles used in ancient royal palaces were naturally not inferior in aesthetics.
Stone Coated Metal Roof Tile, as an imported roofing material, is also the main roof tile type promoted by SANGOBUILD in recent years. Compared with traditional roof tiles, its advantages are indeed outstanding:
Firstly, stone coated metal roof tiles generally only require two pieces to be installed per square meter, and the weight of one piece is only over 2.5 kg, which is about 5 kg per square meter, which is 1/6 of the weight of traditional tiles. From the construction perspective, it is particularly convenient and fast, so the construction cost is also saved a lot.
Secondly, aesthetics. Generally speaking, the production process of traditional roof tiles is relatively fixed and simple, with common colors and styles being common. Colored stone coated roof tiles have a wide range of options in terms of shape and color, with a layer of colored sand on the surface, which is particularly textured. We can completely choose the appropriate style according to the overall design style of the house, which will also look better when paired.
Thirdly, durability. Traditional tiles have a fatal drawback, being fragile and easily damaged, either due to falling during transportation or aging over time. Relatively speaking, the material of stone coated roof tiles is mainly aluminum zinc-plated steel plate, which can withstand falling and aging, and the service life can generally reach up to 50 years.
The last and most important point is definitely its practicality. This type of stone coated roof tiles has multiple protective layers, and the colored sand layer can block ultraviolet radiation and prevent rainwater noise. The acrylic resin layer can prevent rainwater leakage, and combined with other protective layers, it can effectively solve the problem of sun protection and waterproofing.
In fact, there is another point that many people ignore. Now the country has been advocating green environmental protection, and the material of this kind of stone coated roof tiles is mainly galvanized steel plate, which not only prolongs the service life of the roof tile but also can be recycled twice later. It is much better than traditional roof tiles that cannot be recycled when they are broken.
