"Flat to slope", I believe many of friends who are preparing to renovate your old house have heard of this term. In China's early real estate market, whether you lived in a big city or a small town or in the countryside, most new houses were built with a flat roof structure.
However, after years of exposure to the sun and rain, this type of roofing was often prone to problems such as roof leakage, poor thermal insulation and the overall aesthetics were not as good as they could be.
In response to these problems, until the 1990s, The flat roof to slope roof renovation project began to be implemented in Shanghai, and flat-to-slope gradually came into public view. Because the flat-to-slope project basically does not require much structural transformation of old houses, coupled with low investment, fast construction and good results, this transformation method also quickly set off a wave of enthusiasm throughout the country.
However, with the gradual popularisation of the flat-to-slope project, the shortcomings of the flat-to-slope project have gradually been exposed. One of our original intentions of changing the slope from level to level is to fundamentally solve the original problems of roof leakage, heat insulation and so on. However, in the actual operation process, the roofing materials used for flat-to-slope conversion have become one of the biggest loopholes: some construction units or individual households choose low-cost and rough-quality materials for roofing, and water leakage occurs after less than three to five years of renovation, which is obviously not worth the candle.
So, as the roofing materials gradually upgrade and improve today, what kind of material can solve the above problems from the root?
The answer is stone coated metal roof tiles. As a new type of lightweight roofing material, with the advantages of waterproof and heat insulation, long durability, bright colours, beauty and environmental protection, this kind of roof tile is widely popular in foreign countries. As an important element in China's traditional architectural design, the tiles are an important part of the country's homesickness and emotional attachment.
For a long time, many residential communities and rural self-built houses with flat roofs have been experiencing such problems as rain leakage and water seepage. Although the residents spend a lot of waterproofing and repair costs every year, the effect is still not as expected.
In our flat roof with a sloping roof, while using stone coated metal roof tiles as a roofing material, the stone coated metal roof tile has strict waterproof performance, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of rainwater, accelerate the discharge of rainwater, and fundamentally solve the problem of roof rainwater leakage.
The installation of stone coated metal roof tiles through the flat-to-slope project will not only eradicate the problem of water leakage and improve the living environment, but also save a large sum of money on building costs and safeguard the historical value of the old house to the greatest extent.
Stone coated metal roof tiles have a low thermal conductivity, generally in the range of 0.047-0.07, and has good thermal insulation performance in summer and winter. Whether we are in the snowy north or the sunny south, colour stone metal tiles can help to reduce the trouble of cold winters and hot summers.
Compared with the traditional roof tiles which have a single shape and monotonous color, the stone coated metal roof tiles have more than 10 different styles and colors to choose from. Chinese classical style, European aristocratic style, American elegant style, and African simple style ...... The diverse shapes and colorful choices of stone coated metal roof tiles transform the original old and archaic flat roof into a modern and beautiful house with quality and style. Not only do they decorate their own houses, but the stone coated metal roof tiles echo the sky and also embellish the natural environment around them.
Of course, not to say that the roofing material of stone coated metal roof tiles can only be used for flat to slope project, like villa self-built houses, hotels and lodging, garden scenery, schools and hospitals and other buildings are applicable. Let these buildings become a beautiful landscape in our life under the conditions of shelter from wind and rain.
