THE IMPORTANCE OF TILE TYPES FOR YOUR PROJECT

Despite belonging to the last stage in the construction process, the roof must be chosen and planned carefully since the beginning of the work. The main point that must be considered when choosing tile types is the roof hang.

To avoid problems with weather changes, gusts or excessive heat, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendation regarding the inclination indicated on the product. For example, fiber cement needs a minimum slope of 15%. Ceramic and concrete ones vary between 30% and 36%. This detail is what will guarantee the good sealing and immobilization of the tiles.

Some tips:

Installation is essential: the edges of the tiles must be attached to the roof structure.

The quality of the material will influence the durability of the product.

Analyze whether the type of tile matches the shape of the roof and the style of construction. Usually the architect already defines the type of tile in relation to the aesthetics of the project. The style of the house determines the type of purchase.

Observe if the product is approved by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT).

At the time of installation, it is important to hire a professional who understands the structuring of the roof, the fitting and fixing of tiles.

The edges of the tiles must be fixed. The ceramic ones, for example, if one edge raises, it may end up taking the others together.

Conclusion:

Choosing correctly the types of tile used in your project will guarantee protection against climatic variations and also against infiltrations and other complications. So, choose resistant materials, but always suit the style you chose to give your home.
