How Long Is the Service Life of Stone Coated Metal Roof Tile

With the continuous improvement of scientific and technological level, various new materials are also increasing day by day. Take roofing tile materials as an example. In the early days, the only common materials were small green tiles, glazed tiles, and asphalt shingles. Later, lightweight roofing materials such as galvanized roof sheets and resin tiles gradually began to emerge.

Nowadays, stone coated metal roof tiles, a new building material, have become the new favorite in the roofing market and can often be seen in high-end villas, scenic spots and other places. So how long is the service life of stone coated metal roof tiles, and how does it compare with other types of roof tiles?

Stone coated metal roof tile is a roof covering material that became popular in the 1970s. It combines the durability of metal tiles with the beauty of colored stone, making it a popular choice. With the continuous advancement of technology, the quality and types of stone coated metal roof tiles are also constantly improving, and they have gradually become a mainstream roof covering material.

Why can the service life of stone coated metal roof tiles reach 30 years? What are the characteristics of its material? The base plate of the stone coated metal roof tile is a galvalume steel plate. This steel plate material has particularly strong corrosion resistance and weather resistance, and will not cause rust, deformation, aging and other problems due to harsh environmental conditions. Better manufacturers usually use galvalume coated steel coils with fingerprint-resistant coating. The higher the zinc content, the stronger the quality, thus ensuring that the stone coated metal roof tiles substrate has a longer service life of 30 years.

Another feature is that the surface of the stone coated metal roof tiles contains colored stone granules. Many people regard stone coated metal roof tiles as clay tiles or resin tiles, mainly due to the colored stone granules on their surface. This layer of colored stone granules is basalt fired by high-temperature ceramics, which can be fired into a variety of bright colors according to our needs. Many people have also asked about this: Will this layer of colored stone granules fade and fall off over time? The answer is no. This layer of colored stone granules will never fade. At the same time, its adhesive is acrylic resin, which is heat-resistant and frost-resistant and will not cause the colored stone granules to fall off.

On the other hand, the same type of lightweight roofing materials: steel plates of galvanized roof sheets will start to rust after three to five years. Its service life is about 10 years, and it is easily damaged by harsh weather conditions and ultraviolet radiation. The overall appearance is not beautiful. Resin tiles are made of synthetic resin material and have a service life of about 10 years. It may be longer if the local environment is better. Resin tiles are easily affected by the environment, causing deformation, cracking and leakage. There are also glazed tiles and asphalt shingles that were common in previous years. They have a good-looking appearance, but they are also prone to aging and cracking as they age.

Stone coated metal roof tiles also have good fire resistance and thermal insulation properties, which can ensure the safety and comfort of the roof. Therefore, with proper installation and maintenance, stone coated metal roof tiles can remain in good condition and have a long service life. In conclusion, stone coated metal roof tiles offer a winning combination of beauty and durability that surpasses traditional roofing materials such as glazed tiles and resin tiles. Furthermore, stone coated metal roof tiles are lightweight and easy to install, making them a cost-effective choice for roofing projects.
