Roof materials - durable, beautiful, cheap materials

Traditional roofs such as tile roofs and concrete roofs were previously used very popular. But today with the tendency to choose lightweight materials, environmentally friendly and cost-effective during use.
Let's find out some typical types of roofs today:
Light roof material
In the world, light materials have been used in construction works quite popular, but in Vietnam this trend has only started a few years ago. Lightweight roof material is the perfect choice for buildings.
Light materials in making roofs
 
What is light materials for roofing?
Roofs using light materials are the use of lightweight roofing sheets on the roof. They are special materials with superior performance, able to save costs for buildings and especially reduce the load for the entire structure.
These materials also bring high aesthetics and great durability. Consistent with the Vietnamese climate, sustainable, the school survives at the same time.
Advantages of light roof system
Using light roofs can bring many advantages as follows:
Cost savings
The main advantage of this light roof system is to reduce the proportion of the entire building, which can save up to 15-25% of the current roof system cost.
Construction of lightweight roof system is quick and easy
The construction of a synchronous light roof system, with complete materials and materials in sync with each other, the construction will become easy and fast. That saves construction time, labor costs and brings high safety for the project.
Roof system increases high aesthetics
Using lightweight roof materials gives customers a wide choice of colors, styles and features. Create flexible designs that bring high aesthetic to the project.
Light materials in roofing bring great significance to the building
 
Note when using lightweight materials for roofs
Things to note when choosing lightweight materials for roofs:
• Choose the right material to match the actual needs
• Choose reputable material suppliers
• Choose a professional construction contractor for that type of material
• Buy the right and the right materials
• Choose products with synchronous components, ensuring leak-proof, sound-proof, and heat-resistant properties.
Light roof types are popular
Currently there are many light materials on the market, here are some common types:
Polycarbonate roofing sheet
Polycarbonate roofing sheets are increasingly widely used in construction from housing to large projects. Polycaronate sheet has the advantage of being more outstanding compared to other types of roofs when the roof has a high light transmission rate of 50% - 90% with different colors to create green space, natural light is friendly to the lips. school, avoid ultraviolet rays ensure health for users.

Advantages of light-up plate
• Polycarbonate sheet has better strength than mica and glass. They can withstand up to 250 times the force of glass. Therefore, light polycarbonate sheets are also called "broken glass".
• Unlike glass, polycarbonate light plastic sheet can be cold-bending or bending easily depending on the shape you want.
• Good heat resistance: can absorb machining heat up to 240 degrees F.
• Very good sound insulation and insulation, making light plastic roofs great advantage in the summer.
• In addition, polycarbonate sheet has the advantage of high durability, light weight and extremely good UV resistance and a number of other advantages.
Metal clad stone
Stone-like metal roof is a type of roof with a surface coated with natural stone that links screw hooks. Tile-type metal brings the beauty of traditional roofs, from contemporary brick walls, to classical ... The inner layer is a layer of aluminum zinc alloy, the outside is covered with natural color stone.

Advantages:
 - Like traditional tile
 - Environmental friendliness
- No water leak, tested.
 - Fire protection
 - Can cut and pair easily
 - After construction, the roof can walk freely on overlapping sections.
- Many rich colors
- Easy to install, fast construction
Insulated aluminum alloy roof
A type of high, low wave vertical slopes, consisting of many layers linked together.
Advantages:
 - Long plates without any horizontal joints
 - Diverse shapes and colors
 - Very high insulation and noise resistance
 - Quick erection, easy maintenance
 - High recycling value
 - Can add many other applications on the roof like solar battery
