Ceramic tiles have a rather ancient story of use, since it began together with the history of the beginning of the use of clay raw materials during the construction of structures, since the formation of tiles came from clay. Through multiple experiments by the 20th century, a new recipe for its manufacture. It included quartz sand, pigments formed from iron oxides, as well as simple cement used in construction. Firing products, they sought hardening, while for solidification of the cement-sand product it was enough to dry it. This method turned out to be much more effective, as it allowed to save money that was spent on the production of finished products. Due to a decrease in cost, the cost of the product itself also decreased, which led to an increase in demand.
If you are going to install a cement-sand roof from tiles, then you will need to take into account the fact that its thickness compared to ceramics is 20%higher, as a result, it will be harder. Since various painting coatings are used in the production of tiles, you can choose the most suitable color and shade for you. We are most popular with us such firms as Estonian company Eststein, Russian-German BRAAS and Finnish ORMAX.
Cement-sand tiles can be applicable during the construction or reconstruction of the pitched roofs. The installation of this coating should be carried out using a certain technology and each type has its own.
Cement-beamed tiles have the following advantages:
1. a long service life, since this type of coating can last up to 100 years;
2. Environmental friendliness — since when creating a product, no danger of a substance of natural origin is used for nature;
3. refractory — cement -beeping tiles does not burn at all;
4. This type of coating has very low heat production indicators;
5. The material is an excellent soundproof barrier;
6. high degree of confrontation to external factors affecting the tile.
As for the shortcomings, they are as follows:
1. very large weight, in comparison with other types of roofing;
2. very fragile material, with the transportation of which there is a high probability of battle.
How to distinguish between two data type data from each other? It’s not difficult. If you knock on ceramic tiles, then the outgoing sound will not be rattling, while the cement -sandy will be. In addition, externally ceramic tiles are thinner. There are also differences in color. The coloring of cement-sand tiles is similar to the color of red brick.
Because of what cement-sand tiles have demand in the materials market?
The number of tiles produced is so large that it is simply not realistic to list them all. There are two main types of single-yellow and two-legged tiles. Only the customer himself can choose the best view, but it must be borne in mind that the same yelobkova has a higher strength coefficient. Most consumers prefer tiles for the reason that this is the most exquisite, in their opinion, the type of overlap of roofs. In addition, the shape and type of roof is not reflected in the method of laying cement-sand tiles. When it rains, with such a roof you will never hear the annoying sound of a droplet blow, which usually occurs about the roof with a metal flooring.
When installing a tile coating on the roof, most of the time is spent on creating a wooden crate. It also includes the features of this type of coating that the tile is laid only by one edge on a wooden crate, while the other can take on the external load, thereby increasing the strength of the collected roof. No other type of roofing flooring can boast of the same useful property. The most universal size of the components of the tiles is considered to be 150 by 50, when laying it with a step of 70 centimeters. Since in this situation the optimal strength and aesthetics of the appearance are achieved.
Based on all of the above, we can summarize. If you need a reliable and durable roof, persistent to external influences, then the tile is ideal. It will last you up to 100 years and has a decent margin of strength. And her small disadvantages are more than overlapped by numerous advantages. In addition, customers are well aware that the roof ideal for the buyer should be as strong as possible and not need for a long time in the repair and replacement of its cover, since ordinary floors need to be repaired or changed after 3 or 4 years of use. And it was not without reason that they always said and believed that the tile is a symbol of beauty, as well as the well -being of the owner of the house.
