Ceramic tile - roofing material made of fired clay. There are several types of such roofing on the market. Classification is based on the pressing method and the shape of the individual elements.
The stamping method is one of the options for the production of ceramic tiles. The individual elements of such a material are connected to each other due to the presence of grooves. “Beaver Tail” is the name of the small-format variety of this material. The joints of the lower row are closed by the outer row during the laying of the material. The ends of individual tiles are rounded. Flat tiles are distinguished in a separate view. Form it in a tape way. The compacted raw materials are cut into individual elements before firing.
Ceramic tiles can be natural, glazed or agnobated. In the first case, no additional coatings are used. This is an orange-brown material with a rough texture.
The glassy mass is covered with glazed ceramic tiles. It has higher decorative characteristics. Such a coating incorporates metal oxides. It hardens when exposed to very high temperatures. Precipitation and other negative influences have a lesser effect on this type of tile, as the glaze serves as a protective cover.
Specific substances are used to process engobed ceramic tiles. Minerals are mixed into clay, crushed to powder. Then this mixture is mixed with water. During production, pigments can be added to give a specific color to the finished material.
The roof of ceramic tiles looks very noble and stylish. Bacteria and fungi do not breed on such a coating. It is a safe, water and fire resistant material. But it must be borne in mind that such a roof weighs quite a lot - up to sixty kilograms per square meter. Planning the use of ceramic tiles is even before the start of construction, that is, at the stage of choosing the foundation. An impressive load can not withstand any base. Especially strongly felt during snowy winters.
The cost of ceramic tiles is quite high. For each element, you will need to pay more than one hundred rubles. However, a lot depends on the manufacturing method and manufacturer of the material. During installation, you need to be careful, since this type of tile is quite fragile, it is very easy to break it.
