Advantages and disadvantages of glazed tiles

Glazed tiles are deeply loved by the majority of owners because of their beautiful appearance, low price and excellent waterproof performance. But they also have some advantages and disadvantages in use, which deserve careful consideration when choosing roofing materials.

In terms of advantages, the biggest advantage of glazed tiles lies in their gorgeous colors and different shapes, which add a lot of beauty to the roof and are highly sought after by Chinese traditional architectural styles. Secondly, the glazed tile has excellent waterproof and anticorrosion performance, and its service life is as long as 50-70 years, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost. Thirdly, due to the mature production technology, the price of glazed tiles is relatively low, which also makes them deeply loved by residents. ?

However, glazed tiles also have some disadvantages. First of all, glazed tiles are not suitable for old houses with heavy weight and poor roof truss structure to avoid overloading. Secondly, glazed tiles have smooth surfaces and are easy to slide down in rainy and snowy days, which brings certain dangers to pedestrians. Thirdly, the glazed tile surface color is charming, which is easy to become the target of saboteurs and affects the beauty of the roof. ?

Finally, glazed tiles have poor fire resistance and heat insulation, which is not conducive to the adoption of living space. In cold regions, glazed tiles are even less suitable as roofing materials. To sum up, glazed tiles are popular in ancient buildings and commercial buildings because of their beautiful appearance and low price. However, in the choice of living space, it is suggested to be more cautious, consider factors such as roof fire prevention, heat insulation and personal safety, and choose other roofing materials or other functions to make up for its shortcomings when necessary.
