KPG Roof tiles Vs Traditional Clay Roof tiles

29

Ceramic roof Tiles offer many great benefits including durability, Color permeability, longevity, energy-efficiency, great curb appeal, low maintenance, heat resistance and  wind mitigation (with proper installation and maintenance), fire safety, and more. KPG Branded Tiles are designed by perfect combination of high quality Ceramic and White clay ingredient.  White clay provides superior reflectivity, heat resistance, relatively lightweight, long lasting, fire and weather resistant, Low maintenance and Ceramic provides extremely hardness and durability.

Traditional clay tile roofing

Clay Tiles have been the most popular roofing material since ages. The durability and prevention of heat makes clay tiles more preferred over shingles, roofing sheets etc. These tiles are made by baking red clay at a very high temperature in the kiln. The porous structure of the roof tiles gives you a cool breezing effect also.

Eventhough one of the oldest and the most famous in the market, the clay tiles comes with a lot of drawbacks. The main one being the inability of the red clay tiles to withstand varying temperatures. The red clay is drawn to algea and fungus. Often the bright reddish colour of the red clay fades within 2-5 years due to the weather conditions. The density of red clay is lesser when comparing to the white clay, so more amount of red clay is needed to make the tiles stronger. Due to this, red clay are normally heavier than white clay and needs more truss work. The water absorbtion of clay tiles are also high, since the base material is standard clay itself.

  • Durable and longer life span than concrete tiles / roofing sheets
  • Prevents heat
  • Raw material is commonly seen red clay.
  • Effective covering area of 0.75 sq. feet per tile
  • Less efficient in varying temperature
  • Prone to algae and fungus
  • Absorbs more water
  • More heavier and needs stronger frame work to hold
  • Colour fades within short time

KPG Branded ceramic roof Tiles

Modern day KPG roof tiles offer great value for money as well as specific advantages over the alternative roofing materials. These have longer life compared to the traditional clay tiles, thanks to the white clay content and extreme compression techniques by the factory. The porcelain content give more strength to the roof tiles and have a load bearing capacity of 250 KGs. The ceramic coating in the external shell gives more resistance to the varying weather conditions. The water will be repelled by the coating and no water will be absorbed by the tiles. The colours have 3 layers of coating, triple than any other ceramic roof tiles, that ensures colours stays forever. At a glance, the advantages are:

  • Durability and have longer life than clay roof tiles
  • Prevents heat
  • Effective covering area of 1 sq. feet per tile
  • KPG tiles are water-proof, fire-proof, rust-proof and weather-proof, making it one of the most durable construction materials.
  • They can withstand any weather and their color does not fade away. KPG roof tiles even offer a 30 year warranty on the color. KPG roof tiles won’t rust, fade, warp, disfigure or corrode.
  • Prevents algae and fungus
  • The base material used to manufacture KPG tiles are natural white clay.
  • Due to KPG tiles being extremely durable, maintenance costs ranges from zero to Zero.
  • KPG Branded tiles are lighter (2.2 kg) than traditional clay tiles (2.8 kg) and have much more density. This ensure the KPG roof tiles are more stronger and durable than clay roof tiles.
  • Load bearing capacity of 250 kgs
  • Visually Stunning and premium looks.
  • Available in 15+ colours.

In addition to the effective advantages KPG tiles offer, they also look wonderful and have a distinctive European appeal due to their longevity and durability, your home will retain its aesthetic appeal for a long period of time. Also, because KPG tiles can be in standard shapes and sizes, one does not need to worry about their home looking like one of many clay tiled roofs.

Conclusion


Considering the base material, both are naturally occurring clay and completely natural. Still, in terms of quality, reliability, density, strength etc KPG roof tiles are far more superior than normal clay roof tiles. Also the red clay tiles are not popular for withstanding weather conditions, and is infamously drawn towards algae and fungus. KPG Branded Tiles are designed by perfect combination of high quality Ceramic and White clay ingredient. White clay provides superior reflectivity, heat resistance, relatively lightweight, long lasting, fire and weather resistant, Low maintenance and Ceramic provides extremely hardness and durability.

The effective coverage area is also lesser, so in a cost wise comparison including the installation and maintenance, we can see that kpg roof tiles are a better bet than the traditional roof tiles.

Flat roof Vs Sloped roof : Which type of slope to prefer in Kerala / india ?

2

The discussions on whether building a flat roof or building a slopped roof for your home is very common nowadays. This is perhaps one of the highly confusing part for most of the common people and even architects are confused about this. So, here we are just going through the pros and cons of both the structure.

Before we start, It is better to know that no roof can be made as completely flat. This will let the water reside in the roof/concrete. Water is very very heavier and can cause critical damage to the house. So, Even in flat roof structure, there will be a mild slope to drain out the water.

The flat roof has been popular over time throughout india and in kerala. These are inspired from foreign designs and modular concept. This design ensures that you have effectively used all the available space. These are generally preferred in the places with lesser rainfall. This style can looks aesthetically stunning with exterior elements like glass, ACP works, cladding works, pergola designs etc.

Advantages / Disadvantages of Flat Roof

  • Aesthetically stunning with added elements like glass, lights, pergola design etc.
  • Faster construction and is easier to work with.
  • Initial cost is less compared to sloped roof, considering the reduced need of labour and materials.
  • Not preferred in areas with heavy rainfall since it is harder for water to completely drain out. Water will  be heavier and can cause serious damage to your roof. Also when water is stocked at the roof, chances are roof may experience collapse or leakage.
  • Relatively lesser life and maintenance  required due to accumulation of water.
  • Takes in more heat since less air space and air circulation between living area and roof.
  • you will loss the opportunity to implement an attractive roofing, since usage of roofing tiles / roofing sheets will be less relevant as they have no view from outside.

Advantages / Disadvantages of Slopped Roof

  • Gives a traditional, antique and royal style to your house, coupling with external decors suiting the theme.
  • Gives you excellent opportunity to add a crown to your home and showcase the beauty of your roofing tiles / sheets. Installing an attractive roofings will give your home a precious and aesthetically advanced outlook. Check out the roof tile colour selector to see some samples.
  • Renowned for their long life and reliability.
  • Highly preferred in areas with good amount of rainfall, as this will completely drains out the water completely. Usage of roofing sheets or roof tiles will ensure the water never gets settled in your terrace
  • Initial cost could be more than flat roof as it needs more labour and materials.
  • Heat will be lesser than flat roof. There will be more air room and ventilation due to the slanting structure and height, effectively resulting in reduced temperature due to the air circulation.
  • Temperature can be further reduced by usage of heat resisting roofings.

Conclusion

Comparing both the structures, it is clear that in a place like kerala, where there is rainfall for 6 months, Slopped roof structure is preferred over the flat roof structure. The slightly higher initial cost will be balanced over the course of time, by the lesser maintenance expense. Slopped roof tile also gives you more option to spice up your homes by roof tiles / roofing sheets, more resistance to heat and a more durable roof with longer lifespan.
