Compared Stone Coated Roofing Tiles With Traditional Tiles

The previous article talked about the comparison between stone coated roofing tiles and traditional tiles in terms of aesthetics, durability, wind resistance, rain resistance, fire resistance, insulation and sound insulation. Today we will continue to talk about the differences in other aspects.

Firmness

stone coated roofing tiles: inherent strength, self-locking design, horizontal nailing method can make the entire roof resist the impact of the outside world, and avoid displacement and slipping during earthquakes. It can even be fixed vertically on buildings.

Traditional tiles: top-heavy structure, easy to slide and fall off in earthquakes.

Lightness

stone coated roofing tiles: the weight per square meter is about 7kg, which is relatively light. The transportation is convenient and the cost is low, which can reduce the harm in the earthquake explosion.

Traditional tiles: the weight per square meter is about 50kg, which is generally heavy and inconvenient for long-distance transportation. Especially not suitable for prefabricated buildings.

Fading

stone coated roofing tiles: Basalt sand grains are not easy to fade.

Traditional tiles: use organic or inorganic pigments, which are easy to fade.

Modeling

stone coated roofing tiles: flexible and diverse shapes such as curved, circular, and pointed tops, especially suitable for large slope shapes, and easy to construct.

Traditional tiles: limited shape, not suitable for steep roofs

Environmental protection

stone coated roofing tiles: steel can be recycled; transportation energy consumption is low; installation requires less wood, saving wood resources; does not contain harmful substances, and meets green building standards.

Traditional ceramic tiles: destroy cultivated land and cannot be recycled.

Cost & Loss

stone coated roofing tiles: it will not be damaged by external force during transportation. The steel substrate can be cut or bent, and the physical installation is less prone to loss. Easy to match with various edge decoration designs, maintaining the integrity of the roof design style.

Traditional tiles: easily damaged by external forces during handling. During the installation process, according to the skills of different levels of installation workers, there will be different degrees of wear and tear. The edge details have low variability and high loss, and most of them are filled with cement mortar, which is likely to cause aging and water leakage and affect the appearance.
