Residential Roof Tiles

Which performance indicators of residential roof tiles are key indicators? Such as waterproofness, durability, wind pressure resistance, etc. How are these indicators tested and verified?

In the field of residential buildings, roof tiles are the primary protective layer directly exposed to the natural environment, and their performance is directly related to the safety, durability and living comfort of the building. In response to your question, the key performance indicators of residential roof tiles mainly include waterproofness, durability, wind pressure resistance, weight-to-strength ratio, weather resistance, fire resistance and aesthetics.
1. Waterproofness
Waterproofness is one of the most basic and important properties of building roof tiles. High-quality tiles must be able to effectively prevent rainwater from penetrating and protect the internal structure of the building from damage. The test of waterproof performance is usually carried out through a simulated rainwater scouring experiment, that is, under a specific pressure, an artificial rainfall device is used to continuously and highly impact the tiles with rainwater, and observe and record whether there is water seepage. The ASA resin tiles, FRP lighting tiles, APVC anti-corrosion tiles, etc. produced by our company all use advanced waterproof materials and technologies to ensure excellent waterproof effects. In particular, ASA resin tiles, with their unique chemical structure, give them excellent weather resistance and waterproof properties, and can maintain long-term stability under harsh climatic conditions.
2. Durability
Durability refers to the ability of tiles to resist physical and chemical erosion and maintain their original performance during use. This includes resistance to factors such as ultraviolet rays, acid and alkali corrosion, and temperature changes. Durability tests often include ultraviolet aging tests, salt spray corrosion tests, high and low temperature cycle tests, etc. For example, colored stone metal tiles are not only beautiful through the combination of aluminum-zinc-plated steel plates and colored gravel, but also have excellent durability due to the high corrosion resistance of their metal materials. Our company's R&D team continues to innovate in material selection, formula optimization and production processes to ensure that every tile can withstand the test of time.
3. Wind pressure resistance
Under extreme weather conditions such as typhoons and tornadoes, the wind pressure resistance of residential roof tiles is directly related to the safety of the building. Wind pressure resistance tests usually simulate wind pressure environments with different wind speeds, load test the tiles, and observe whether they will fall off or be damaged. Our company's production line can produce high-strength tiles that meet or even exceed national standards, such as color steel tiles. Although the process is simple, they are treated with galvanized steel plates and spray-painted. They are not only affordable, but also have a certain thickness and strength, and can effectively resist strong winds. In addition, PP antique tiles and asphalt tiles have also enhanced their wind pressure resistance through special designs.
4. Weight-to-strength ratio
Lightweight and high strength are one of the important goals pursued by modern building materials. For residential roof tiles, a reasonable weight-to-strength ratio means that while ensuring structural safety, it can reduce the building's own weight, reduce foundation bearing requirements, and save costs. Through in-depth research on material science, our company continuously optimizes the formula and production process, so that the tiles produced, such as ASA resin tiles, can achieve lightweight while maintaining high strength, improving the overall performance of the building.
5. Weather resistance
Weather resistance refers to the ability of tiles to maintain stable performance under different climatic conditions (such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity changes, etc.). Testing this performance usually requires long-term natural exposure tests or artificial accelerated aging tests. All types of tiles produced by our company have undergone rigorous weather resistance tests to ensure that they can maintain excellent performance under extreme climatic conditions.
6. Fire resistance
Fire resistance is an important aspect of ensuring building safety. For residential roof tiles, good fire resistance can effectively prevent the spread of fire and protect the lives and property of buildings and residents. The test of fire resistance usually adopts a combustion test and is graded and evaluated according to national standards. Our company's products, such as FRP skylight tiles, have good self-extinguishing or flame retardancy, which meet or exceed national fire protection standards.
7. Aesthetics
Aesthetics is also an aspect of modern residential building roof tiles that cannot be ignored. Our company's tile product line is rich and diverse, from classical asphalt tiles, Chinese small green tiles, to modern colored stone metal tiles, polymer Chinese flower tiles, which not only meet the design needs of buildings of different styles, but also add unique charm and beauty to the building through exquisite craftsmanship and color matching.
The key performance indicators of residential roof tiles cover waterproofness, durability, wind pressure resistance, weight-to-strength ratio, weather resistance, fire resistance, aesthetics, etc. Our company relies on its deep accumulation and technical strength in the field of building materials and tiles, and through rigorous testing and verification processes, ensures that each tile has excellent performance and quality, providing solid and reliable protection for residential buildings.
