The tile is a very popular modern roofing material. Its color and texture remain unchanged. The tile practically does not need maintenance, is fire resistant, excellent heat conductivity, resistance to sudden gusts of wind, temperature extremes and ultraviolet radiation, and also reliably protects the house from the penetration of thawed snow and rain moisture.
There are various types of this roofing material:
5. Natural tiles
- cement-sand and ceramic. It is designed for heavy loads and the strongest gusts of wind, practically does not age, absorbs noise perfectly, saves the roof structure due to the obstacle to the formation of condensate, slowly heats up and also cools down. Laying natural tiles is best entrusted to professionals.
4. Soft tiles
- These are small flat plates in which curly cuts are present along one edge. Such roofing material can be represented by a rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, oval and wavy shape. Soft tiles are made from cellulose or fiberglass, which is impregnated with bitumen. Due to the addition of polymers, the roof is durable and resistant to deformation. Coating with mineral chips allows you to achieve original color shades. Since soft tiles are self-adhesive, the technology of laying a soft roof is not particularly difficult. In addition, when laying special tools are not needed. Other benefits include the absence of rust, rain or hail noise. There is also no need for additional coloring. Such a roof does not fade, does not absorb moisture and is very affordable.
3. Composite tile
Composite tiles are made of steel sheet, which provides extreme strength. This is followed by a layer of acrylic soil, granules of natural stone and transparent acrylic. Aluzinc coating gives the roof anti-corrosion resistance. This material has a small weight, but withstands strong gusts of wind and has high refractoriness. The layout of the composite tile is as simple as possible and does not take much time.
2. Metal tile
- The most durable and popular roofing material. It is easier to lay on flat surfaces than on relief roofs. It is light, environmentally friendly, durable, suitable for arranging new buildings and reconstructing old houses. The metal tile can have a different composition, size, texture and color.
1. Polymer sand tiles
The polymer-sand tile after hardening is practically indestructible. Staining is carried out during thermal pressing. Color does not change even after several decades. Polymer-sand tiles are characterized by versatility, impact resistance, low thermal conductivity, quick and easy installation, attractive appearance.
Flexible tile from the USA is gaining popularity in Russia. Deliveries to the largest cities of our country have already been established.
