Rural transformation is an important part of China's strategy to promote rural revitalization, and in recent years the State has introduced a series of policies around rural construction aimed at improving the rural habitat, protecting traditional culture, promoting industrial upgrading and ecologically sustainable development.
Innovation in building materials is often a key variable in determining the appearance of villages. As we search for building materials that retain traditional memories and meet modern needs, new green building materials stand out for their unique appeal and drive the process of rural transformation.
In many ancient village protection projects, designers find that the fragility of traditional green tiles is difficult to meet modern needs, and then choose traditional tiles made of antique polymer materials, which not only maintains the visual texture of “green bricks and tiles”, but also solves the pain points of old tiles, which are fragile and leakage. This “both spirit and form” transformation, so that the ancient buildings in the continuation of the historical lineage at the same time new life.
The new building materials use environmentally friendly base materials and have passed a number of quality tests such as fireproof, waterproof and anti-corrosion. For example, Sangobuild's stone-coated metal tiles have superb weather resistance and have withstood the extreme cold of minus 25°C, while traditional ceramic tiles have suffered extensive freezing and cracking under the same conditions. The weight is only 1/6 of the traditional tiles, but the service life can be more than 3 times of the ordinary cement tiles.
What is more praiseworthy is that the recycling rate of each square meter of stone-coated metal tile can reach 95%, which really practices the concept of green building.
According to the current market feedback, the use of stone-coated metal tiles, roof maintenance costs have dropped significantly, and the roof appearance has become a major feature of the building, and this “value economy” effect is also reshaping the countryside value system.
From the perspective of material cost, stone coated metal tile is a cost-effective new green building materials. Its lightweight characteristics significantly reduce transportation and installation costs, prefabricated components mode so that ordinary workers can participate in construction after simple training, creating new employment opportunities in the countryside.
Standing at the historical node of rural revitalization, new green building materials are not only simple building materials, but also multi-dimensional value carriers carrying cultural heritage, technological innovation and economic transformation.
