Steel roof profiles vs ceramic tiles
When building their dream home, many people have to make a number of difficult decisions. One of them is choosing a roof covering that meets their expectations and budget.
Today, there is a wide range of manufacturers and products available. It is important to choose a company that has been in business for a long time and has a good reputation.
Weight of steel roof tile profiles and ceramic roof tiles
Both types of roofing have their advantages and disadvantages. Steel tile profiles are lightweight (up to 5 kg/m²), while ceramic tiles weigh up to 45 kg/m². The difference is enormous on a 200 m² roof. Steel profile structures can be simpler and cheaper, and installation costs are also lower.
Steel roofing manufacturing technologies are improving – profiles are appearing on the market that are comparable in quality to tiles. Some models imitate ceramic tiles so well that it is difficult to tell from a distance whether they are tin or real tiles.
Roof acoustics
An important aspect is acoustics. Tiles are unrivaled in this regard: they are thick, heavy, and excellent at sound absorption. Acoustic film can be used with steel profiles, but this increases the price.
In summary, when choosing a roof covering, you need to define your priorities: whether aesthetics, economy, acoustics, or price are most important. It is best to look for an option that combines several of these criteria.
