Shingles are a very popular modern roofing material. It does not lose functionality and attractiveness over the years. Its color and texture remain unchanged. The shingles practically do not need maintenance, they are fire resistant, excellent thermal conductivity, resistance to sudden gusts of wind, temperature changes and ultraviolet radiation, and also reliably protects the house from the penetration of melted snow and rain moisture.
There are different types of this roofing material:
5. Natural roof tiles
- cement-sand and ceramic. It is designed for heavy loads and the strongest gusts of wind, practically does not age, perfectly absorbs noise, preserves the roof structure by preventing condensation, heats up slowly and cools down the same way. It is better to entrust the laying of natural tiles to professionals.
4. Soft tiles
- these are small flat plates in which there are curly cutouts along one edge. Such roofing material can be presented in rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, oval and wavy shapes. Soft tiles are made of cellulose or fiberglass, which is impregnated with bitumen. Thanks to the addition of polymers, the strength and resistance of the roof to deformation is ensured. Coating with mineral chips allows you to achieve original color shades. Since soft tiles are produced self-adhesive, the technology for laying soft roofs is not particularly difficult. In addition, no special tools are required during installation. Other benefits include no rust, no noise in rain or hail. There is also no need for additional painting. Such a roof does not fade, does not absorb moisture and is very affordable.
3. Composite tiles
Composite shingles are made from sheet steel for extreme strength. This is followed by a layer of acrylic primer, natural stone granulate and transparent acrylic. The aluzinc coating gives the roof anti-corrosion resistance. This material is lightweight, but withstands strong gusts of wind and is highly refractory. The layout of composite tiles is as simple as possible and does not take much time.
2. Metal tiles
- the most durable and popular roofing material. It is easier to lay it on flat surfaces than on embossed roofs. It is lightweight, environmentally friendly, durable, suitable for the construction of new buildings and the reconstruction of old houses. Metal tiles can be of different composition, size, texture and color.
1. Polymer-sand tile
After hardening, polymer-sand tiles are practically indestructible. The coloring is carried out during heat pressing. The color does not change even after several decades. Polymer-sand tiles are characterized by versatility, impact resistance, low thermal conductivity, quick and easy installation, and attractive appearance.
