The glazed tiles are so beautiful, why are they abandoned by rural people?

Nowadays, more and more people in rural self-built houses choose tile roofs again, because whether from the perspective of waterproofing or thermal insulation, tile roofs have the advantages that reinforced concrete flat roofs cannot compare. Is it appropriate to use glazed tiles for the slope roof of self-built houses in rural areas? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Let me tell you about my personal understanding. Of course, it is suitable to build a house in the countryside with glazed tiles, in ancient times, ordinary people could not use glazed tiles, only temples and people with status and status could use them, and glazed tiles also gave people a very tall feeling. Nowadays, many rural families will consider using glazed tiles when building houses.

However, because ordinary glazed tiles are easier to break, we generally use improved glazed tiles, that is, color steel glazed tiles. This kind of glazed tile is often used on the roof of rural self-built houses or villas, with a beautiful appearance and a strong Chinese style that is very simple.

This kind of color steel glazed tile has many advantages:

First of all, the appearance is beautiful and atmospheric, light weight, and strong pressure resistance. The weight of color steel glazed tiles is much lighter than our traditional terracotta tiles, and the hardness is stronger than that of terracotta tiles, and at the same time, color steel glazed tiles also have excellent wind resistance and weather resistance, which can adapt to a variety of environments.

Secondly, it has a long service life, is not easy to change color, and has good waterproofness. The surface of the color steel glazed tile has undergone many anti-corrosion and anti-rust treatments, which is not easy to be easily oxidized, and the service life is usually up to 30 years. The slope of the color steel glazed tile is seamlessly connected, the sealing performance is quite excellent, and it has the waterproof performance that other roof building materials cannot match.

Finally, the installation time is short, the color steel glazed tile adopts rapid paving, the market fluctuation is not large, and the construction convenience will not be affected by seasonal changes.

Although the glazed tile sintered at high temperature is not easy to absorb water, and the waterproof performance is also better than the price, because the glazed tile roof is spliced together by small components, rather than a whole piece, if the waterproof measures are not done during construction, when laying, the glazed tile floor slope is steep, the density is not enough when casting, the ratio of concrete additives is too much, and the foundation settlement and other problems will lead to the leakage of the glazed tile roof, so it is necessary to pay attention to the waterproof construction.

Although the glazed tile is beautiful, but it needs to be fired, a large amount of polluting exhaust gas will be produced in the firing process, and now the country has increased its efforts to control air pollution, so it restricts the production of glazed tiles, so it is "abandoned".

Because rural people feel that this kind of glazed tile is particularly unstrong, and it is not suitable, so they will choose to abandon it.

It's not that rural people have abandoned glazed tiles, but that the firing process of glazed tiles is too complicated, requiring a very high level of craftsmanship, and the cost is too high, and the countryside can't afford to use it at all.

The glazed tile is fired from clay at a high temperature, and the bulky tile material will increase the load-bearing pressure of the roof tag and beam, and it is easy to fall off, and it is fragile and has poor impact resistance during transportation.
