Slate is absolutely natural. Its wide use can effectively reduce carbon emissions and damages to the ecological environment, and thereby, protect our forest resources.A Tibetan roof is usually made out of wood, which means that a huge number of trees have to be fell and therefore a serious damage made to the ecology. Let’s give you an example, a Tibetan house covering an area of 400-450 m2 usually requires 9000-12000 pieces of wooden tiles in order to make its roof, which is a huge consumption, if not a waste, of forest resources.If using slate instead, our forests can be saved.
Resistant to water, fire and weathering
板巖的正確使用,可以抵抗暴雨侵蝕,更能抵抗大風侵襲,板巖還具有防火性,遭遇大火能有效緩解大火對周邊房屋火勢蔓延。使用彩鋼瓦覆蓋的房屋在大風大雨過后一片狼藉 ,使用木板覆蓋的房屋難耐雨水的沖刷,常出現屋頂漏水情況,使用板巖覆蓋的屋頂既美觀又耐用,堅決抵御了大風大雨的侵襲。
The proper and correct use of slate can make a roof resistant to storm, weathering, fire as well as spreading of fire, if unfortunately, they happens.Houses that are roofed with colored corrugated steel sheets, without exception, are awful messes after a strong wind or a heavy rain.Those roofed with wooden tiles are not waterproof, that is, water leakage often takes place.And those roofed with slatemade tiles are beautiful, durable and highly resistant to wind or rain, no matter how strong or how heavy it may be.
Resistant to extreme weather???
新型復合材料及彩鋼瓦,易受風雨、紫外線及晝夜高低溫差侵蝕,容易老化,使用壽命短,不可回收再利用,廢棄后形成污染垃圾。
板巖在惡劣的氣候條件下不易被侵蝕,可重復使用,使用壽命長達70年以上。
Roofs made of advanced composite materials or colored corrugated steel sheets are vulnerable to wind, rain, ultraviolet light as well as temperature difference between day and night. Moreover, these materials are not reusable, short in service life and harmful after discarded.
In contrast, roofs made of slate are highly resistant to harsh weather, reusable and serviceable for over 70 years.
Harmonious and beautiful
板巖的使用越來越成為設計師的首選元素。其統一的視覺形象,優美的線條,讓人不禁賞心悅目;適中的價格和多變的運用使板巖的檔次不斷提升。
藏房民居改造前,屋頂各種顏色彩鋼瓦及木板,和環境極不協調,給人留以雜亂的印象。
Use of slate instead is becoming the first choice for more and more designers, because it can ensure a uniform but pleasing appearance in elegant lines, it is affordable and can offer many exciting possibilities while demonstrating a good taste.Before re-roofing, houses roofed with boards or colored corrugated steel sheets are incongruous and messy.
