1.Introduction to Color Steel Tiles
Color steel tiles, also known as colored corrugated tiles, are corrugated sheets made of colored coated steel plates that are rolled and cold-bent into various corrugated shapes.
It is suitable for industrial and civil buildings, warehouses, special buildings, roofs, walls, and interior and exterior wall decoration of large-span steel structure houses. It has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, rich colors, convenient and fast construction, earthquake resistance, fire resistance, rain resistance, long life, and maintenance-free. It has been widely promoted and applied.
2.Characteristics of Color Steel Tiles
- Good sound insulation performance: The porous material of the core layer makes the sound energy decay due to friction in the porous wall, thus producing a sound-absorbing effect, protecting the residents on the roof from noise intrusion.
- Excellent toughness and strength: The unique three-layer composite structure, biaxial stretching process and selected raw materials make it more tough and strong than similar products.
- Simple construction: The fastest paving speed and the lowest construction cost.
- Wind and earthquake resistance: 90-degree building facade decoration is safe and reliable. Whether it is used in villas or high-rises, inland or coastal areas, it can withstand hurricanes and earthquakes, and the roofing system is safe and reliable.
- Rich colors, novel personality, long-lasting and stable.
- Light weight, sufficient strength and easy assembly.
3.Types of Color Steel Tiles
- Foam color steel plate
Foam color steel plate is an organic material, which has the characteristics of heat insulation, light weight and easy installation. It has been widely used in recent years. One disadvantage is that foam color steel plate is extremely easy to burn and does not meet the national fire protection requirements.- Rock wool color steel plate
Rock wool color steel plate is a new type of fireproof plate with the strongest fire resistance in the color steel plate series. It is made of natural rocks, blast furnace iron slag, etc., which are melted into filaments at high temperature and then solidified. Rock wool color steel plate meets the secondary fire protection requirements of clean workshops and is the most ideal structural decorative plate for indoor ceilings and mobile houses. It has a fire resistance of 600℃ and a fire resistance grade of A. It is incomparable to polystyrene and polyurethane. Its core material is non-combustible rock wool.- Polyurethane sandwich panel
Polyurethane sandwich panel consists of upper and lower color steel plates plus foamed polyurethane in the middle. It is one of the most widely used building materials in the current construction industry. It has good thermal insulation, heat insulation and sound insulation effects. Polyurethane added with fireproof materials does not support combustion.
4.Color steel tile purchase tips
- When purchasing, remember to check the thickness of the substrate and the coating. The key is that it is composed of the substrate and the colorful peritoneum, so we must first check the thickness of the color steel tile. The thickness of the high-quality color steel tile is generally above 0.5 mm, because the thickness of the color steel tile will affect the service life of the color steel tile, so it is very important to confirm the thickness.
- When purchasing, be sure to check the edge of the color steel tile falling outside, observe whether there is fine crystallization, color change, and impurities. If the crystallization of the cut surface is fine, then its quality is better.
- When purchasing, use your hand or a hard object to gently hit it and listen to the sound. If the sound is not bright and crisp, it means that the quality of the color steel tile is relatively poor. If the sound is loud and round, then the quality of the color steel tile is relatively good.
- When purchasing, remember to check the quality certificate of the color steel tile. You can visit the factory on site.
- When we purchase, we usually look at the price, so we can also compare it with the market price. If the price is obviously lower than the market price, then we need to pay attention to whether its quality is up to standard.
- You can check the quality certificate of the color steel tile to see if it meets the standards.
5.Installation points of color steel tiles
1.Installation method: The correct way to lay tiles: overlapping (applicable to roofs with a length of <=15m), staggered (applicable to roofs with a length of >=15m)
2.Installation steps:
(1) Install the sealing strip and ridge tile eaves cover: Separate the sealing strip into two halves, press it on the roof according to the tile shape, and use special nails to fix it; at the intersection of the side tiles, use cement to seal it and then directly cover the ridge tiles, and use small tile stops to finish the ridge tiles; directly install the eaves cover at the bottom of the tile, i.e. the eaves, and fix it with screws; at the intersection of the ridge tiles, use scissors to trim the interface, overlap it, and use glass glue to seal it.
(2) Inclined surface connection installation refers to the construction of installing water connection treatment at the bottom after cutting two roof tiles according to angle and length. First, install the water connection material (i.e. gutter) under the tile, and then use waterproof adhesive or cement to finish it.
(3) Waterproof treatment of the protruding part First make a V-shaped material. Different materials and specifications can be selected, depending on the actual situation. After installing the bottom of the water connection, lay the color steel tile on it.
(4) Correct use of special nails: Special nails must be driven into the middle of the tile frame to achieve a waterproof effect; the special nails should be fixed at intervals of 50cm-100cm horizontally and vertically (preferably 4 nails/m); special nails must be driven from the bottom of the tile toward the roof to achieve a beautiful, sealed, and neat effect.
3.Installation precautions
(1) There are two types of fixing methods for color steel plate installation: penetration type and concealed type.
The penetration type is the most common method for installing color steel plates on roofs and walls. It is to fix the color plates on the supporting parts (such as purlins) with self-tapping screws or rivets. The penetration type is divided into wave crest fixing, wave trough fixing or a combination of the two. Concealed type fixing is to fix the special concealed buckle that matches the concealed buckle color plate on the supporting parts (such as purlins) first, and the mother rib of the color plate and the center rib of the concealed buckle are meshed. It is generally used for the installation of roof panels.(2) Lateral and end overlap of color plates
When installing each steel plate, its edge overlap should be accurately placed on the previous steel plate and clamped with the previous steel plate until both ends of the steel plate are fixed. During the fixing process, the clamp should always clamp the steel plate in the longitudinal direction. Each steel plate must be completely fixed before installing the next steel plate. Fixing must start from the center of the steel plate, then extend to both sides, and finally fix the overlapping edge of the steel plate. For end overlap, since the roof and wall profiles are made by continuous processing, the steel plates can be supplied in lengths limited by transportation conditions. Usually, overlap is not required and the length of the steel plates is sufficient to meet the needs of roof laying.(3) Selection of self-tapping screws
When selecting fixing screws, the fixings should be selected according to the service life of the structure, and special attention should be paid to whether the service life of the outer covering material is consistent with the specified fixing life. At the same time, it should be noted that the thickness of the steel purlin cannot exceed the self-drilling ability of the screw. The screws currently supplied may have plastic heads, stainless steel top covers or be coated with special durable protective layers.(4) Details are particularly important
For the color steel plates used for roofs, the color steel plates should be trimmed at the roof and eaves to more effectively prevent rainwater from entering the roof. At the ridge of the roof outer plate, the bottom plate located between the terminal ribs of the steel plate can be folded upward with a trimming tool. It is used at the upper end of all roof steel plates with a slope less than 1/2 (250) to ensure that water blown in by wind under the flashing or cover plate will not flow into the building.(5) In hotter places, an insulation layer should be installed. In the south, color steel plates are generally designed as single layers. In order to reduce the amount of solar radiation entering the building, an insulation layer can be installed in the roof system when installing the roof panels.
