Flat Tile

Flat tile (also known as "flat", the core is characterized by tile surface smooth/micro arc, no obvious corrugated, edge design for lap more notches), with the contracted joker's appearance level and solid practical performance, become the new Chinese style, contemporary and contracted, European country style architecture popular options, such as the core advantage focus "appearance level joker + practical resistance to build + construction by" three dimensions, specific as follows:

The appearance is simple and elegant, with perfect compatibility

1. Versatile style, not picky about buildings: The flat tile surface is smooth and neat, without any unnecessary decoration. After installation, the roof presents a regular and simple visual effect - it is suitable for new Chinese style, can also blend into European rural and pastoral styles, and can even be used in factories, cultural and tourism towns, courtyards and pavilions, without disrupting the overall tone of the building.

2. Visually refreshing and reducing the heaviness of the roof: Compared with the three-dimensional effect of corrugated tiles, flat tiles are more light, thin and transparent. They are especially suitable for low-rise buildings, small roof areas or light-shaped buildings (such as homestays and sunrooms), which can make the overall building more dynamic and avoid the roof being too heavy and oppressive.

3. Rich in color and texture, personalized Inheriting the high-temperature glaze advantage of glazed tiles, flat tiles can be customized in various colors such as bluish-gray, dark black, vermilion, beige, and dark brown. The glaze is bright, fine, and uniform in color, and is not prone to fading. It can be flexibly matched according to the wall material (blue brick, real stone paint, wood, and stone), and can either take a "low-key and reserved" route (bluish-gray + blue brick) or a "eye-catching and captivating" route. Adapt to different aesthetic demands.

4. Neat laying effect and strong integrity: The flat tiles have a uniform shape. After laying, the roof presents a neat "checkerboard" arrangement without any random ripples. It is especially suitable for large roof areas and can create a simple and grand visual effect, enhancing the overall texture of the building.

It has solid practical performance and is fully equipped with basic functions

1. Waterproof and anti-seepage, with scientific lap design: The edges of flat tiles are often equipped with dedicated lap grooves. The tiles are laid in a "staggered seam overlapping" manner, providing a large lap area and forming a tight waterproof barrier. Rainwater is less likely to seep through the gaps, ensuring stable waterproof performance (suitable for conventional roof slopes of 15°-45°). The tile surface is flat and slightly arc-shaped, allowing rainwater to quickly flow along the tile surface and preventing water accumulation (especially suitable for roofs with reasonable drainage slopes), avoiding long-term water accumulation that can cause tile corrosion and roof leakage.

2. Weather-resistant and durable, with a long service life: The material is made of a glazed body fired at a temperature above 1250℃ and a dense glaze surface. It is heat-resistant (does not soften above 60℃), cold-resistant (does not crack below -20℃), and resistant to ultraviolet aging. It is not easy to fade, crack or powderize when exposed outdoors for a long time. The glaze surface is smooth and dense, capable of resisting rain erosion, dust accumulation, and slight acid and alkali corrosion. It requires no frequent maintenance on a daily basis. Only regular cleaning of fallen leaves and accumulated dust is needed. Its service life can reach 30 to 50 years.

3. Heat insulation and soundproofing, high living comfort: The thickness of the glazed tiles themselves (8-12mm) + the hollow interlayer formed after the flat tiles are laid (between the roof base and the tile surface) can effectively prevent outdoor heat from entering the room, reduce indoor heat loss in winter, and also have an insulating effect. The tile surface is smooth and the material is dense, which can buffer the impact force of rain strikes. Its sound insulation effect is better than that of metal tiles and cement tiles (the noise is even lower in heavy rain weather), enhancing the comfort of living and use.

4. Fire safety, no worries about meeting standards: Ceramic material is non-combustible and can effectively prevent the spread of sparks (such as fireworks and firecrackers, surrounding fires). It is especially suitable for scenarios with clear fire protection requirements such as residences, homestays, and factories, enhancing the safety of buildings.

It is convenient and economical to construct, with outstanding cost performance

1. Simple installation and high efficiency: The weight of each flat tile is moderate, and no heavy equipment is required. Workers can manually carry and lay them. The shape is regular, and the edge lap groove is reasonably designed. There is no need for complex alignment during splicing. With the standardized process of hanging tile strips and water flow strips, the construction difficulty is low and the speed is fast. The construction period of large-area roofs is 15%-20% shorter than that of corrugated tiles.

2. Low loss rate and strong economy: Flat tiles have a smooth shape and are not easily damaged during cutting and splicing. The construction loss rate is only 3% to 5% (lower than that of corrugated tiles and special-shaped tiles). The price is at a medium level (higher than ordinary cement tiles but lower than high-end metal tiles and irregular-shaped glazed tiles), and the later maintenance cost is low (no need for repainting and low replacement frequency). The long-term use cost performance is higher, especially suitable for projects with limited budgets but emphasizing appearance and durability.

3. Compatible with irregular roofs and highly flexible: Flat tiles are easy to cut and can be flexibly cut according to irregular parts such as roof corners, arcs, and the edges of terraces. After splicing, they have strong integrity and are less likely to have gaps, making them more suitable for complex-shaped roofs than corrugated tiles.

The core advantages of glazed flat tiles can be summarized as "simple and versatile, not picky about style + waterproof, weather-resistant, practical and durable + economical construction and high cost performance". They not only meet the basic needs of roof waterproofing, heat insulation and fire prevention, but also can be adapted to various building scenarios. It is especially suitable for new Chinese-style residences, modern and simple villas, homestays, cultural and tourism towns, factories and other projects that pursue "simple and high-end appearance, solid and durable functions, and controllable costs" - it is a classic roofing tile choice that is "error-free, highly adaptable, and suitable even when chosen without hesitation".
