How about asphalt shingles? What are the advantages of traditional tiles?

Compared with traditional tiles, asphalt tiles have their unique characteristics. What are the advantages of asphalt shingles compared with traditional tiles? Let's analyze it from different angles:

1 material

Asphalt shingles: all-weather modified waterproof asphalt and high-strength glass fiber tire base are adopted;

Traditional ceramic tile: ordinary 425/525 cement, coarse sand and fine sand.

Step 2 color

Asphalt shingles: There are many kinds, and the sand on the surface is vitrified with natural basalt colored particles at high temperature.

Traditional tiles:

Coating types: There are many kinds, but because the surface color is a mixture of white cement, quartz sand, inorganic pigment powder and various additives, the color can not enter the particles of quartz sand, and the color coating is easy to be damaged in the natural state, resulting in uneven fading.

Mixed type: not many types. Because the color is directly affected by the color of the tile body, it becomes black. Coupled with the color mixed with cement, the strength of the tile body is greatly reduced and it is easier to fade.

3. Surface characteristics

Asphalt shingle: It will not reflect in the sun at all, and it is a real matt effect.

Traditional ceramic tile: rough production, strong reflection by sunlight, and almost unrecognizable color.

4. Flexibility

Asphalt shingles: Asphalt shingles are quite flexible and suitable for laying simple or complex roofs.

Traditional ceramic tiles: inelastic, mostly brittle materials such as ceramic tiles and glazed tiles. Traditional tiles are easy to be damaged during handling.

5. Auxiliary materials

Asphalt shingles: There are few auxiliary materials, only nails and asphalt glue are needed for asphalt shingles, which saves the cost of auxiliary materials.

Traditional ceramic tile: it needs wood, nails, special buckles, special paint, cement and special tools, which increases the material cost and is more expensive than asphalt tile.

6. Architecture

Asphalt shingles: The construction is simple, just use an ordinary art knife, and no other special tools are needed.

Traditional ceramic tile: Cement mortar must be used in complex construction, and it is difficult to remove the cement mortar after it flows on the surface of ceramic tile during solidification, which affects the appearance.

7. Applicable roof types

Asphalt shingles: suitable for roofs of any shape, including circular buildings.

Traditional tile: it can only be laid on flat roofs, which is not suitable for today's diversified architectural needs. There are too many requirements for architecture and it does not meet the ever-changing social status quo.

8. Roof effect

Asphalt shingles: All-encapsulated rubber is closer to the roof, and the combination between shingles is better, which meets the requirements of the roof.

Traditional tiles: dry hanging method is adopted, which is easy to cause warping and opening between tiles due to size deviation, affecting the beauty and leakage prevention of the roof.
