Building knowledge: steel roof or tile roof, which is better?

 
[RealEstate]     23 Oct 2017
Australia now has two kinds of roof of villa, one is called Color Bond roof, should be translated into colored wrinkled steel roof, easy to understand by the people of the country, I translate here as "steel roof"; The other, the Concretetiles roof, translates into a tile roof.

Australia now has two kinds of roof of villa, one is called Color Bond roof, should be translated into colored wrinkled steel roof, easy to understand by the people of the country, I translate here as "steel roof"; The other, the Concretetiles roof, translates into a tile roof.


What does it look like? please look at the picture.

This is a steel roof.




This is a tile roof.


If in terms of sales alone, it looks like the tile roof is better, looking at the atmosphere.

In addition to our traditional Chinese architectural concept, it is also the blue brick red tile house is the best-looking, this is the standard for large families in ancient times.

Third, in our inherent traditional concept, when we saw this steel roof, we remembered the shack of iron roof in shantytowns at that time, and felt that it was a property used by poor and poor people, which suddenly gave rise to a kind of disdain mentality. This steel roof really doesn't work!

So in the first inning, starting from our traditional Chinese concept, the tile roof won.


Here's a little bit of knowledge:

The steel roof originated in Chicago, the United States, and was later introduced to Australia because of its strong resistance to bad weather and corrosion, which slowly became popular in Australia.


In our impression, although Australia has always been blue sky and white clouds, the climate is mild, there seems to be no bad weather. But the biggest downside of Australia's weather is that the sun is too strong, with temporary strong winds and heavy rain.

So in the sun, wind and rain, the experience of the United States shows that the average tile roof can last about 20 years, while the colored steel roof can last about 50 years.

Can we conclude that the tile roof must be better than the colored steel roof? Let's open our eyes and look carefully at the difference between them.


The first inning, from the architectural design of the appearance.

For local people in Australia, it can be said to be two flowers, one watch each. Some like the simplicity of the colored steel roof, and some like the thick atmosphere of the tile roof. But for the Chinese, we prefer the atmosphere and sense of security of the tile roof, so the architectural design of the first inning is the winner of the tile roof.


The second inning, from the noise treatment.

No matter how good the sound insulation and angle of the colored steel roof may be, the sound of dropping water on the steel plate is greater than the sound of falling on the tile. For those of us who have not heard the roof rain in our traditional apartment buildings, or those who have never heard the rain in the red brick green tile house, we feel that the rain on the roof of Caigang is too loud and unsafe. So this game, the tile roof still wins. (although some Australians still like Rain Water's voice, others don't.)


In the third inning, compare the amount of water collected by Rain Water.

In Melbourne and Adelaide, Australia, all new homes are required by law to set up at least 1000 liters of Rain Water collection barrels. Because these two cities, sometimes can really drought death. When I flew to Melbourne in 2007, for example, I saw the trees on the mountains dry to death, and it would have been illegal to wash their cars and use tap water because of the drought. Therefore, it is imperative to collect Rain Water.

We can also think with our fingers that the plate of Rain Water collects more than tile. Because the tile is water-permeable, the tile can only absorb enough water before it can be collected.

In addition, tiles are easy to accumulate ash and bird shit, so after rain, these dirty things more easily into the water tank.

So in the collection of Rain Water and cleanliness, Caigang roof finally won a game.

 

Fourth inning, roof weight comparison and maintenance.

Needless to say, the colored steel roof is lighter than the tile roof. (data count Caisteel Roof is 1/10 of the weight of Tile Roof)

Because the roof is light, the weight of the whole roof is light, and the pressure on the wooden frame and the rafters of the roof is small. Especially in the winter, Melbourne and Adelaide continue to rain, the tile roof is full of water, the roof is heavier, the pressure on the wooden frame houses for a long time. The maintenance of the house should be more frequent.

This is when we came to Australia and saw a small fan spinning all the time on the tile roof, not knowing what it would do. In fact, dehumidify, otherwise tile roof double brick house is easy to grow hair, because winter three months of rain, tile roof all the water absorbed in the roof, moisture damage to the house increased.

Building knowledge: steel roof or tile roof, which is better?

What a small fan looks like.


Caigang roof dry and Rain Water do not have this problem, because of water insulation ah.

Therefore, in the maintenance of roof weight comparison, the color steel roof embarrassed to win another game.


Fifth inning, insect control and wildlife on the comparison.

The chance of lizards, possum and other wild animals in their yard, or all kinds of indefensible bugs, is 100 per cent of the time for Earth Australia, which is incomparably close to nature.

In view of the Caisteel roof of the new house, look at the small samples of wildlife and all kinds of insects, drilling through the steel plate is still a little tender. But by drilling through the tile roof, they are a lot more sophisticated.

So in the pest control wildlife, Caigang roof easy to win a game.


In the sixth inning, in the degree of seed and elasticity.

Needless to say, the Caigang roof has won. Every day on Australian television, advertisements say that the roof of Caigang jumped casually. Even if it was careful, the tile roof could not be guaranteed to break the tile with one foot.


Seventh inning, fire.

No matter which city in Tu'ao, as long as you live in the mountains or trees, be sure to use steel plate roof, do not ask why. That's what the government says. Because no burning!


Finally, the two innings of the finale are compared:

Eighth inning: color steel roof and tile roof for heat preservation and heat dissipation and moisture treatment.

Because in our senses, the steel plate heating speed must be faster than tile, so it is difficult to feel the summer color steel roof. In fact, the summer in Turkey and Australia is very different from that in China. Our domestic from June to August, can be said to be more than 30 degrees every day, there is no temperature difference.

Earth Australia, can continue for 3 days 40 degrees, then plummeted to 25 degrees, the temperature difference is very large. And more importantly, hot weather is rarely more than 5 days in a row, most of the time in comfortable and dry weather around 25 degrees and 30 degrees.

So if the continuous high temperature, the shortcomings of steel roof must be obvious heating up immediately, this is also the domestic group of complaints about Caigang roof. And tile roof, still can continue to enjoy a piece of cool.

We have all heard the story of warm boiled frogs. The tile roof and brick house are slow to dissipate heat after absorbing heat. So, the tubes living in a double brick tile room are a little like frogs in warm water, and they don't feel hot at first. By the time the temperature drops sharply to 25 degrees the next day, the crowd on the roof of Caigang will be able to cool off. The shingle roof brings the same temperature as a pizza stove, which will take days to cool.

So, in this game, I'm going to win the Caigang roof.


Inning the ninth inning: knock on the blackboard to see the key point, is the price.

The colored steel roof is more expensive than the tile roof, you know!

Unknown audience will think that developers will use cheaper building materials to build more money, so the use of colored steel roof! This is a real injustice to the developer. In fact, the cost of the Caigang roof is 20% more expensive than the tile roof!

The use of expensive good things, but is not understood by the masses, developers have to cry in the toilet!

Therefore, Caigang roof with nine innings seven victories of the proud result of the tile roof.

Dear, can we judge the residential life in Australia with a new perspective?
