Dec 16, 2021

Metal shingles and asphalt shingles are widely used in the market, and they are both new roofing materials. Both products have rich color, shape, weight, environmental protection and other characteristics. The difference lies in the uniqueness of some details and materials.

The metal tile is made of galvanized steel sheet with excellent anti-corrosion performance, weather-resistant acrylic resin is used as the adhesive, and the new roofing material uses the asphalt tile with colored pebbles as the surface of the glass fiber cushion. When petroleum pitch is applied, one side is covered with colored mineral particles.

The other side is sprayed with a tile roof waterproof board made of insulating material. The northwestern region has a dry climate and strong winds, such as asphalt shingles. The application range of shingles in the northwestern region is relatively small. On the unique material, the colored stone metal tiles have good durability and good weather resistance.

There are many aspects to consider when choosing roofing materials. The current new roofing materials, colored stone metal tiles, can solve the concerns about roof damage. Let's take a look at the reasons:

When people think about what materials are simple and convenient, colored stone metal bricks are not as heavy as traditional clay bricks and glazed bricks themselves. It is very fragile in the construction process, which increases the construction time and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Colored stone, metal tiles, and roof building materials use galvanized steel as the base material. The weight is only one-sixth of the traditional weight. The area is large, the accessories are simple, the construction intensity is high, and the construction time is shortened.

When everyone considers the life span, the colored stone metal tile can satisfy it. Because the service life of the steel structure board is 30-50 years, there is no need to worry about unnecessary repeated construction, and it has a strong wind resistance effect with the colored stone metal machine. Even in typhoons, it is safe to use in hail and strong winds.

For laying problems, there are seven types of tiles and fifteen colors of stone metal sheets. Regardless of packaging effect or color choice, there will always be colorful stone metal tiles suitable for home roofs.

Asphalt shingle, also known as fiberglass shingle, is a new type of waterproof building material, and it is also a new type of roofing material used for roof waterproof construction. The scope of application is not only used for bungalows, it can be used as long as it meets the construction requirements. Its characteristic is that in addition to having all the results of tiles, in particular, roofs with a slope of 0-90 degrees and roofs of any form are suitable.

Asphalt shingles are characterized by light weight and many colors. Due to the asphalt shingles, the glass fiber felt is a carcass. After being soaked in kerosene asphalt, one wall is surrounded by colored ore, and the other is covered with a textured tile roof tarp. It is characterized by good waterproofness, rich decoration and color, and various situations. Light weight and light construction.
