Classification and analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of various roofing fiberglass tiles in construction
Abstract: Roof tiles are roughly divided into five categories, they are cement tiles, glass fiber tiles, metal tiles, ceramic tiles and magnesite tiles. So as roof tiles, what is the difference between them?
1. Cement tiles are made by molding or rolling with a certain proportion of cement mortar. The product components are cement, sand and pigments processed by the factory. Its main feature is that the lap joint is firm and can be used for dry hanging construction method (there is a space between the roof tile and the roof structure layer, and its heat insulation effect is relatively good). Since the cement tile adopts the construction method of overlapping up and down and occluding left and right, your waterproof performance is stronger than that of Xiwa, and it can be used as the first waterproof function to enhance the leak-proof of the roof; The tiles can have two or even three colors, which are relatively beautiful after being installed on the roof, and there are two types of cement tiles: corrugated tiles and flat tiles, so there are more choices.
2. Glass fiber tiles are also called linoleum tiles or asphalt tiles. As the name suggests, glass fiber tiles are composed of modified asphalt, glass fiber, colored ceramsite, and self-adhesive adhesive strips. The tile is characterized by light weight, about 10kg per square meter, and its material is modified asphalt. As long as the installation method is proper, the waterproof performance can achieve better results, especially suitable for flat-to-slope projects or wooden houses; due to the construction of glass fiber tiles It is simple and only needs to be fixed with matching glue and nails, and the construction loss can basically be ignored, so it also enhances its market competitiveness and can save project costs for developers. The color of glass fiber tiles is diverse, and its aesthetic effect is particularly strong after being installed on the roof. At present, glass fiber tiles are relatively popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in my country.
3. Metal tiles, galvanized steel tiles, which are pressed into a tile shape by galvanized steel sheets, and the surface layer can be treated with colored ceramsite or baking varnish. It is characterized by light weight, high grade, and high price, but it gives people The impression is relatively solid and a sense of security. It can also be used in steel structures or flat-to-slope projects.
4. Ceramic tiles are also called terracotta tiles. They are fired from clay and are characterized by their firmness. However, because they are fired from clay, their environmental protection features and color richness are not as good as those of cement tiles. Its price is relatively higher than that of cement tiles. Moreover, terracotta tiles have no waterproof performance at all, and cannot enhance the risk of leaking the roof.
5. Magnesite tile is a new type of multifunctional environmental protection building material. It is made by mixing magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride as the main raw materials with a certain proportion of perlite, glass fiber mesh cloth, wood fiber, etc. It has the characteristics of light weight, fire prevention, heat insulation, sound absorption, heat preservation, non-toxic and harmless, corrosion resistance, and no mildew. It can be used as roof tiles of various buildings, especially suitable for large buildings such as steel structure workshops and warehouses, and has a good heat insulation function
