In rural areas, building a house is a major event, not only about the comfort and security of life, but also about the economic and social status of the family. Therefore, rural residents will consider many factors when building a house, such as the style, size, structure and function of the house, the most important of which is the roof of the house.
The roof is the house's"head"It should not only be beautiful, but also durable, able to withstand wind and rain, fire prevention, heat insulation, sound insulation, etc. So, what kind of roof should you choose for rural housing?Why is it that resin tiles, which were once so popular, are now rarely used?Let's take a look at this question.
First, the advantages and disadvantages of resin tiles.
Resin tile is a new type of building material made of polymer resin as the main raw material and pressed at high temperature. It seems to solve the defects of traditional tiles (such as ceramic tiles, cement tiles, color steel tiles, etc.) such as heavy weight, fragility, rust, fading, and poor thermal insulation performance.
Resin tile has many advantages such as lightweight, beautiful, durable, heat insulation, sound insulation, etc., which can provide a better living experience for rural residents. The lightweight weight of resin tiles can reduce the load on the roof, reduce the cost of the house, and make it easier to transport and install.
Resin tiles weigh only 1 6 of traditional tiles and weigh only 4-6 kg per square meter, so they do not require thick beams and walls to support, nor do they require excessive manpower and material resources to transport and lay.
The resin tiles are beautiful and generous, and can be combined according to the style of the house and personal preferences to form a beautiful roof landscape. Resin tiles are available in a variety of colors, including red, green, blue, and gray, and won't fade in the sun or rain.
There are a variety of patterns on the surface of the resin tile, such as antique tile, imitation glazed tile, imitation wood grain tile, etc., which increase the three-dimensional sense and texture of the roof. The durability of the resin tile guarantees that the roof can be used for a long time without deformation, cracking or peeling due to various factors.
The service life of resin tile can reach more than 30 years, with the characteristics of fire prevention, anti-corrosion, mildew prevention, insect resistance, etc., and can adapt to various climates and harsh environments. The thermal insulation performance of resin tile can effectively reduce the roof temperature, improve indoor comfort, and save energy consumption for air conditioning.
The thermal insulation performance of resin tiles is 3-4 times that of traditional tiles, which can block solar heat radiation and make indoor temperatures 10-15 times lower than outdoors. The sound insulation performance of resin tile can reduce the interference of noise such as rain and wind, and create a quiet living environment. The sound insulation performance of resin tiles is also better than that of traditional tiles, which can absorb and reflect sound waves and reduce sound propagation.
Resin shingles seem to be a very desirable roofing material, but why are they not widely used?The main reason is that it is expensive and the quality on the market is uneven. Resin tiles are 2-3 times more expensive than traditional tiles, at $100-200 per square meter.
This is a significant expense for some rural residents with insufficient economic means, and the installation of resin tiles also requires professional workers, which also increases labor costs. There are many brands of resin tiles on the market, and the quality is uneven.
The production process of some resin tiles is not advanced, or the production process is not standardized, resulting in unstable quality of resin tiles, bubbles, cracks, color differences and other problems, affecting the performance and appearance of resin tiles. These problems mean that some rural residents are not confident in resin tiles and do not dare to try them easily.
ii Comparison with other tiles.
When building a house in rural areas, in addition to resin tiles, there are other roofing materials to choose from, such as ceramic tiles, cement tiles, color steel tiles, etc. Each of these tiles has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, let's compare them one by one.
Ceramic tile: Ceramic tile is a traditional roofing material with a long history and culture. The advantages of terracotta tile are beautiful, elegant, durable, fire-resistant, waterproof, etc., which can add an antique charm to the house. The disadvantages of ceramic tiles are heavy weight, fragile and poor thermal insulation performance, high cost, etc., which require a strong load-bearing structure and high maintenance costs.
Cement tile: Cement tile is a relatively new roofing material made from a mixture of cement, sand, and stone. The advantages of cement tiles are that they are lightweight, strong, durable, waterproof, fireproof, etc., and can adapt to various climates and environments. The disadvantages of cement tile are monotonous color, easy to fade, poor thermal insulation, easy water seepage, etc. Regular painting and maintenance are required.
Color steel tile: Color steel tile is a kind of roofing material pressed by colored steel plates. The advantages of color steel tiles are lightweight, beautiful, durable, rust-proof, waterproof, etc. Different colors and shapes can be selected according to personal preference.
The disadvantages of color steel tiles are poor heat insulation, poor sound insulation, easy deformation, easy rust, etc., which need to be covered with heat insulation and sound insulation layers, and regularly inspected and replaced. As can be seen from the above comparison, each type of steel tile has its own advantages and disadvantages, and no one type of steel tile is perfect.
Therefore, which tile to choose when building a rural house must be decided according to the current situation and needs of the house structure, style, budget, climate, etc. In addition, it is essential to consider the quality, installation, and maintenance of the tiles, and choose the right brand and service provider to ensure the safety and aesthetics of the roof.
Conclusion. In short, the resin tiles that were once popular in the countryside are now used by fewer and fewer people, mainly because the resin tiles are expensive and the quality on the market is uneven. Although resin tiles have many advantages such as lightweight, beautiful, durable, heat insulation, sound insulation, etc., there are also some disadvantages, such as unstable quality, installation requires professional workers, etc.
Which tile to choose for rural housing construction should be based on your actual situation and needs, do not blindly follow the trend, let alone blindly save money, and comprehensively consider the performance, beauty, durability, safety and other aspects of the tile, and choose the most suitable roofing material.
