Metal tile. Merits.
The material is based on a profiled steel sheet made using hot-dip galvanizing technology. It is considered eco-friendly material. Due to its versatility, it is suitable for all types of roofs, but taking into account the fact that the roof slope will be a slope of at least 14 degrees.
To increase the resistance of the material to corrosion, the latest technologies are being developed to create various variations of new alloys in various proportions and combinations. One side of the sheet is treated with protective coloring compounds, and the outside with all kinds of polymers. Consider them:
Acrylic.
Relatively low quality, quickly loses color and is easily damaged.
Polyester.
Glossy finish, economical option.
Matt polyester.
Matte gives resistance to rapid fading, as well as to minor damage.
Plastisol
Resistant to mechanical damage, quite durable and significantly thicker. It loses color at high temperatures, so it is not recommended to use it in southern regions.
Pural
Based on polyurethane. Suitable for all regions, as it has increased wear resistance.
Polydifluoride
As part of polyvinyl fluoride and acrylic, the main difference is self-sustainability, withstands any climate and perfectly retains color.
The main advantages:
1. Light weight. 1 sqm has a weight of about 5 kg.
2. Easy installation. Experienced roofers do the installation of a standard roof for 1 day.
3. Budgeting. Since the material itself is not expensive, and installation complexity, it is possible to save significantly.
4. The term of operation. They give a high guarantee on a metal tile, it will serve you more than 30 years.
5. Aesthetic appearance. A variety of colors and textures allows you to realize design ideas.
It can be safely stated that metal today has won the trust of both professionals in the construction industry and private developers. A ratio of quality and price will not make you think long.
