Terracotta tiles are favored for their environmental protection and heat insulation, waterproof and fireproofing, and long service life. However, its process is complicated, a little expensive and easy to break, making its scope of application subject to certain limitations. Glazed tiles are colorful, beautiful, durable, waterproof and fireproof, and do not fade. However, its glaze is easy to crack, repair difficulties, and easy to deformation, life is not long, the use of special attention.

Cement tile colorful, long life and cheap, is the first choice of many families. But its surface roughness, poor durability, weight construction inconvenience, maintenance costs are relatively high. Color stone metal tile price is moderate, environmental protection and beautiful, and life expectancy of up to 50 years. Its excellent performance and moderate price make it widely used in modern buildings. Resin tile has the advantages of sound insulation, waterproof and fireproof, corrosion resistance and flame retardant, green environmental protection, and convenient installation. However, its cost is high and it can't adapt to all slopes, so it needs to be installed with purlins.

The construction of roof tiles is a delicate work, which requires professional construction team and technical support. The following are some basic construction points: before covering the tiles, it is necessary to select the specifications, size and color of the tiles, and eliminate the tiles that are deformed, warped, cracked, broken, broken corners, obvious color difference, and too large a deviation in size. Starting from the lower right corner of the eaves to lay the first tile, arranged from right to left, pay attention to the staggered overlap between the tiles, so that the whole roof is more solid, more effective drainage of rainwater. According to the slope of the roof, use galvanized steel nails or galvanized iron wire to fix the tiles on the hanging tile strips to ensure that the tiles are stable and do not fall off.

Asphalt shingle, also known as linoleum shingle or fiberglass tire asphalt shingle, is a new type of polymer waterproof material. It is mainly made of asphalt-based binder material (i.e. asphalt) and fiber or fiberglass carcass, then covered with colored mineral granules or colored sand made of sheet tile. Asphalt shingles have been widely used in Europe and the United States, and gradually emerged in the domestic market, especially in villas, houses, sloped roofs and flat to slopes and other projects have been widely used.

Asphalt shingles are low-priced, easy to construct, and fire-resistant and moisture-resistant. However, its life span is relatively short and it is poorly flame retardant, fragile and has a low safety factor. Asphalt shingles also have some limitations, such as a relatively short service life and may need to be replaced periodically; their performance may be affected under extreme high or low temperature conditions; and they have relatively poor fire retardancy and need to be strengthened with fire prevention measures.
