Polymer-sand tile: a new type of roofing

Roofing should create comfortable conditions for living in the building, protected from rain and sun, while it should be durable, have a wonderful appearance throughout life and be easy to install. Polymer-sand tile - a new type of roofing material that meets all these requirements. Polymer-sand tile is waterproof, does not make noise in the rain and wind, not heated by the sun and creates favorable conditions for living. Its distinctive features - a combination of high performance properties with a complete lack of fighting during transportation, loading and unloading and installation, beautiful appearance with the possibility of machining and ease of fitting during assembly. Mass of 1 m2 of polymer-sand tile is only 22 kg, which is almost 2 times less than that of ceramic and cement-sand tiles. The product of the polymer-sand tile has exceptional water resistance (TU 5756-001-11917285-98) not exposed to mold, resistant to dilute acids (acid rain, GOST 27180-86). Tile has a high strength (GOST 22690-88), increased shock resistance (not beating when bumps and falls from height, TU 5756-002-11929376-01). It takes sharp drops in temperature and can be operated at least 50 years at temperatures ranging from minus 50 ° C to plus 70 ° C (GOST 10060.3-95). High resistance to photooxidative aging or sunlight provides the perfect look and the brightness of shingles over the long term. The basis of the source material tiles laid a combination of polyethylene stretch and solid coarse grains. Their mixture with the addition of bulk dye intensively mixed at high temperatures in a closed circuit with limited access to air, after which portions of the mix is ??placed under a powerful press, where, under great pressure and intense cooling of one of the molds created by the temperature gradient, which provides directional solidification process. Manufacturing mixture occurs in the dry environment, without access of moisture. As a result, every grain of sand enveloped the thinnest polymer film. Therefore, in the final material, tiles are no voids and porosity. Tile material is similar in its structure to the bone, which has surprising strength qualities. To prevent penetration under the roof of rain and snow tiles equipped with labyrinth lock and a double row of walls that create air pockets, blocking the path of precipitation. Thanks to high-quality double lock roof pitch can be from 22 ° (instead of the traditional gradient at 45 °). In this case, the roof is maintained: you can walk on it, which is impossible with other types of roofing. The roof of the polymer-sand tile is environmentally clean, fireproof, does not accumulate static electricity and requires no additional operational costs: it does not need painting, it is easily washed and cleaned for decades did not require repair. The advantages of polymer-sand tile: longevity (at least 50 years); strength (due to polymer filler tiles can withstand large mechanical loads) color saturation, resistance to fading in the sun (in the production process is painting the whole mass, from which the tiles are made, not only the surface layer), the ability to create a mosaic ceiling (as tiles laid in rows, may combine the color tiles) easy installation (1 m2 cover is placed in the nine tiles tiles); easy to create crates (for Polymer-sand tile, due to increased strength and rigidity In contrast to other materials that do not require the creation of a solid roof). Because of these properties of polymer-sand tile today is significant competition more fragile, heavy and hygroscopic roofing materials.
