The oldest of the piece materials for covering roofs are wooden elements such as shingle, gont, ties. This also includes: ceramic tiles, natural slate. The advantages of real ceramic tiles are rightly considered: its beautiful appearance, practicality, durability, refractory, inappropriation of the sun, negative natural factors.
Developers really value ceramic tiles for reduced thermal conductivity, noise absorption, inability to save static stress. The disadvantages of the tiled roof can be considered relatively large weight, the roof requires an ultra -strong rafter structure. But at the same time there is a fact: a weighted roof is better opposed to weather phenomena and wind. It is very good that the tiled roof is unpretentious – it does not require complicated care, and will also be in excellent condition for more than a hundred years.
No need to confuse metal tiles with roofing material with a metal tile. Metal tiles – a profiled steel sheet with galvanizing and mineral granulate on the surface. This type of roofing material can perfectly imitate ceramic tile coating.
