What is composite shingles: the technical characteristics of

The design of this product is difficult in technological design, but has an almost eternal durability. The best roofing material modern designers have not yet come up with. Let's try to disassemble it into its component parts.

  1. The basis for your future roof is sheet steel with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.9 mm. Metal is used for special strength, the product profile provides two important, although at first sight, incompatible characteristics: the rigidity of the assembled roof with a certain plasticity of the individual elements.
  2. Next comes a layer of aluminum-zinc coating, the composition of which each manufacturer has. Let's choose the average: aluminum - 55, zinc - 43 and silicon - 2%.The functions of such a coating are understandable: an anticorrosive layer, cathodic protection in sections. The effectiveness of applying protective layers on the steel profile of composite tiles has been proved by 50 years of experience of the world's leading companies and it does not cause doubts. In this case, the thickness of the antioxidant film is only 20 microns( total consumption 190 g / m2).
  3. Polymers( most often, acrylic primer) on each side of the composite roof tile - insurance for aluminum and zinc. Sputtering can be as little as 5 microns, but works fine.
    Actually at this stage of the production cycle, we have the usual metal tile, which in the painted form is pleased to install our summer residents.
