Roof Materials Introduction
As we all know, roof tiles are the first protective layer of a house, and the lifespan of the tiles directly affects the living experience. However, there are so many types of roofing materials on the market that the many roof decorations are naturally dizzying.
Next, JHL ROOF will introduce to you the commonly used roof tile installation and help you distinguish the pros and cons.


Glazed Roof Tile
As a common roof tile in our lives, glazed tiles are very famous in China. The origin of glazed tiles can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, glazed tiles were a standard feature in palace decoration, and their classical and atmospheric colors perfectly reflected the aristocratic atmosphere of the palace. There is no doubt that the quality and style of the glazed tiles that make it suitable for such a grand occasion as a royal palace is also obviously the best tile, popular for thousands of years and the best for those who like old-fashioned and atmospheric architecture.
However, despite the beautiful appearance and excellent performance of glazed tiles, the price of high-quality and high-style glazed tiles is relatively high due to the relatively high cost of its production process. And like cheaper glazed tiles, glaze cracks are prone to occur during use and may break in bad weather such as hail, and subsequent maintenance costs are relatively high.
If you really like it, it is recommended that you first make sure your home is not in a severe weather area, and then have the budget for maintenance later.

Galvanized Roof Sheet
I believe you have seen galvanized roof panels in many factory parks. They look blue from a distance, and many rural families also use them to build canopies. To be honest, these tiles are really cheap, only a few dozen dollars per square meter. The construction period is also very short. Many people buy it and spend two or three days installing it themselves. When the COVID-19 epidemic broke out in Wuhan in 2020, galvanized roof panels also made a huge contribution to the rapid completion and commissioning of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan makeshift hospitals.
However, the cheapness of galvanized roof panels is one aspect, but there are also certain safety threats. In the event of a fire, the presence of flammable materials such as polystyrene foam boards inside the galvanized roof panels will cause the fire to spread rapidly, and its combustion will produce fatal and harmful gases. This is a major threat to fire and escape.
That's why we don't recommend this tile to you.

Asphalt Shingle Roof
Asphalt shingle roofing, also known as "fiberglass asphalt shingles". They were first introduced in the United States in 1901. These shingles are available in a variety of styles and colors and are also effective at waterproofing and insulating.
However, asphalt shingles have a relatively short service life and are prone to deterioration, usually only about ten years. In addition, asphalt shingles are generally laid by bonding and nailing. Once the glue fails over time, it can easily blow away when exposed to relatively strong winds.
