What are the advantages of asphalt shingles compared with traditional shingles? The following analysis of Ornex asphalt shingles from different perspectives:
1. Material aspect
Asphalt shingles: use all-weather modified waterproof asphalt, high-strength glass fiber base;
Traditional tile: ordinary 425/525 cement, coarse sand, and fine sand.
2. In terms of color
Asphalt shingles: There are many types. The sand on the surface is made of natural colored basalt colored particles and ceramicized at high temperature.
Traditional tile:
Coating type: There are many types, but because the color of the surface is a mixture of white cement, quartz sand, inorganic pigment powder and various additives, the color cannot enter the particles of quartz sand. The color coating is extremely natural in the natural state. Easily corroded, and uneven discoloration and discoloration
Mixed type: not many types. Because the color is directly affected by the color of the tile body, it turns black. In addition, the color is mixed with cement, so that the strength of the tile body is greatly damaged, and the color is more likely to fade.
3. Surface texture
Asphalt shingle: It will not reflect at all when irradiated in sunlight, and it has a real matt effect.
Traditional tile: The production is relatively rough, it has strong reflection under sunlight, and its color can hardly be recognized.
4. Flexibility
Asphalt shingles: In terms of performance, asphalt shingles are quite flexible and suitable for simple or complex roofing.
Traditional tiles: there is no flexibility, mostly ceramic tiles, glazed tiles are brittle materials. Traditional tiles are easily damaged during transportation.
5. Supplementary materials
Asphalt shingles: There are few auxiliary materials, only special nails and asphalt glue for asphalt shingles are needed, which saves the cost of auxiliary materials.
Traditional tile: requires wood, nails, special buckles, special paint, cement and special tools, which increases the cost of materials and is more expensive than asphalt shingles.
6. Construction
Asphalt shingles: The construction is simple, just use ordinary utility knife, no other special tools are needed.
Traditional tile: Cement mortar must be used for complex construction. After flowing on the tile surface during the setting process, it is not easy to remove and affects the appearance.
7. Applicable roof type
Asphalt shingles: suitable for roofs of any shape, including circular buildings.
Traditional tile: It can only be laid on a flat roof, which is not suitable for today's diversified architectural needs. There are too many architectural requirements, not the current changing social situation.
