Why did the resin tile disappear? The "little red roof" used to be all the rage in the countryside and can be called the "standard" of small western-style buildings, why is no one using it now? What are the flaws of this resin tile?
Do you still remember the "red wave" that arose in the countryside more than ten or twenty years ago? Patches of bright red resin tiles have replaced the gray cement tiles of the past, bringing a touch of bright color to the countryside.
At that time, the resin tile, as if with its own star halo, is the "favorite" of every household, but this red wave comes and goes fast, today's countryside, resin tile has been difficult to find, why did the former "roof star" fall to the point that no one cares?
Time back to more than ten years ago, in the countryside at that time, as far as the eye can see, most of the roofs are all cement tiles and clay tiles, which are dull in color, easy to be covered with moss, and even damaged, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
And the appearance of resin tiles broke this dull scene.
The bright colors are the first impression of the resin tile, especially the dazzling red, which shines in the sun, as if injecting vitality into the whole village, in addition to the appearance of "natural beauty", the resin tile also conquers the hearts of the villagers with its strong practicality.
Resin tile has the advantages of fire resistance, wind resistance, rain resistance, etc., and the service life is longer than that of traditional tiles, and more importantly, the price is very close to the people.
And the resin tile also has a certain sound insulation effect, the noise caused by the wind and rain very much affects people's sleep, and the rest becomes comfortable after installing the resin tile.
In addition to sound insulation and noise reduction, the "automatic cleaning" function of resin tiles is also loved by villagers, with a smooth surface, and when the rain washes, it can take away dust, bird droppings and other dirt, saving the trouble of climbing up and down to clean up.
Beautiful, practical, durable, and economical, the resin tile seemed to have all the advantages, and quickly became popular in the countryside, becoming a well-deserved "roof star" at that time.
However, the good times did not last long, and as time went by, the disadvantages of resin tiles gradually became apparent.
At the beginning, there were only a few colors of tiles in the village, and everyone thought it was fresh, but later every household changed to resin tiles, and the colors were similar, so there was no freshness.
Aesthetic fatigue is another problem faced by resin tiles, when the same red, green, and blue fill people's vision, people begin to crave more diverse choices.
In addition to the market environment, the "decline" of resin tiles is also inseparable from its own problems.
There are always people who complain that in the summer, the roof often makes a 'crackling' sound, especially at night, when it is so noisy that people can't sleep.
It turns out that the resin tile has the problem of "thermal expansion and cold contraction", in the hot summer, after exposure to the sun, it will expand and deform, make a sound, and in the cold winter, it will shrink and deform, and once again stage a "sound and light show".
In addition to thermal expansion and cold contraction, water leakage is also a "big problem" for resin tiles. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers cut corners in the production process, resulting in insufficient tile flatness, and gaps are prone to appear after installation, and rainwater will seep in along the gaps.
What's even more worrying is that some unscrupulous businesses use recycled waste materials in the production process in order to make huge profits, resulting in uneven quality of resin tiles, greatly shortened service life, and even cracking and aging.
At the same time, with the development of science and technology, new roofing materials continue to emerge, aluminum shingles, asphalt shingles, etc., with better performance and more abundant choices, gradually replace resin tiles, become the new favorite of the market.
From "full village red" to "no one cares", the history of the rise and fall of resin tile is not only the choice of the market, but also the embodiment of the advantages and disadvantages of the product itself. Nowadays, although resin tile has faded out of people's sight, the convenience and changes it once brought are still worthy of recognition.
If resin tile wants to regain its glory, it must face up to its own problems, improve product quality, overcome thermal expansion and contraction, easy aging and other defects, and at the same time continue to innovate and develop more beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly new materials to meet the growing needs of consumers.
