Recently, even more often when laying a roof, various types of tiles are used. And far from the last place among them occupy cement-sand tiles, see more detail here - which materials for the roof exist.
Cement-sand tile - This is the material for the roof, which has recently become very popular. This is due to the fact that in terms of indicators it is very similar to ceramic tiles, but has a significantly smaller cost.
It uses materials only in natural character - limestone, which is burned to the stage of cement, water and iron oxide pigments. All this raw material is mixed in specialized equipment, where its further molding under high pressure occurs. The material coming out of the machine has a form of continuous web. After that, it is cut into separate tiles. After that, the tiles are placed in specialized cameras for drying for 8-12 hours. The final process is the painting of the tiles and its drying outdoors.
Installation of cement-sand tile.
The optimal angle of inclination of the roof, when installing this tile is 22 degrees. With this inclination there is the smallest probability of moisture in the tiles. If the angle of inclination is less, it is necessary to pave additional waterproofing.
The method of laying this tile is called scaly. Since when installed, they are as flakes superimposed on each other. This allows the material not to expand when heated and not deformed. Also, due to this type of installation, cement-sand tiles are used in mansard rooms.
Pluses of cement-sand tile:
Frost resistance - due to low porosity and high density.
Low thermal conductivity - supports a constant temperature under the roof.
Not affected by flammability - minimized the risk of fire.
Eco-friendly - consists only of natural components.
Large colors - will make it possible to implement any designer ideas.
Low cost is available for all segments of the population.
Minuses:
Large weight - by 1 square meter - 45-50 kilograms.
A rough surface - delays a large amount of snow.
Low strength - when falling a heavy item, can crash.
