Thermal Insulation Shingle Roof

Why is it so popular in Africa?
• Symbol of status: In many parts of Africa, the layered appearance of shingle tiles represents the financial status of the house owner. The irregular block design of shingle tiles looks much thicker and more expensive than the flat color steel tiles, which perfectly meets the demand of local villa owners for "showing off their wealth".
• Alternative to traditional wooden tiles: Many high-end buildings in Africa originally pursued the original wooden roof style, but real wooden tiles are prone to rot, insect infestation and fire hazards in the hot and rainy climate of Africa. Shingle tiles perfectly imitate the natural texture of wood, while solving the problem of durability.
• Popularity of double-color spraying: African customers love the double-color effect of "black and red", "black and coffee" or "gray and black". Shingle tiles, due to their staggered structure, can best reflect the visual beauty of this double-color spraying.

Extremely strong heat insulation performance
Most areas in Africa experience high temperatures throughout the year. The basalt colored stone particles on the surface of Shingle tiles can effectively absorb and reflect heat radiation. Combined with the air layer beneath the tiles, the indoor temperature can be 5°C - 8°C lower than that of ordinary iron sheet houses.
Ultraviolet resistance and color retention
The sunlight in Africa is extremely strong. Ordinary colored coated sheets (PPGI) will crack and fade in two years. However, Shingle tiles use sintered ceramic stone particles, which can ensure that the color remains unchanged for 30-50 years under strong ultraviolet radiation. Noise reduction
Africa has intense rainy seasons. Ordinary metal roofs produce extremely loud noises during heavy rain, like drumming. The stone particle coating on the surface of Shingle tiles can effectively break raindrops, significantly reducing noise and providing a quiet indoor environment.
Lightweight and easy to install
Many buildings in African regions have limited structural load-bearing capacity. Shingle tiles are lightweight and do not require heavy wooden frames or concrete structures. This not only saves timber costs but also shortens the construction period.

Fire prevention
Compared to asphalt shingles (which are flammable), the colored stone metal shingles are of Class A fire resistance and are fixed with horizontal locking screws. They have stronger anti-theft performance, which is very attractive to property owners in some areas with unstable security conditions.

Residential category: Modern-style villas, steel frame villas, North American minimalist self-built houses, mid-to-high-end residential communities with pitched roofs; particularly suitable for projects that aim for a three-dimensional facade;
Public buildings: Schools, hospitals, libraries, convention centers, stadiums, cultural and tourism towns, resorts; can enhance the modernity and recognizability of the buildings;
Renovation and flat-to-pitched roof conversion: Roof renovation of urban old residential areas, roof renovation of factories/warehouses; No need to demolish old buildings, quick construction, does not affect residents/production;
Special scenarios: Beach resort hotels, mountain-style guesthouses, roof decoration of large commercial complexes; Anti-salt fog corrosion, suitable for complex terrain roof structures.
