Why do buildings in coastal areas prefer Himei waterproof tiles?

Buildings in coastal areas often face more severe environmental challenges than inland areas, such as strong winds, seawater erosion, and salt spray corrosion. These factors make the selection of roofing materials particularly critical. Among many roofing materials, Himei waterproof tiles have won the favor of building roofs in coastal areas with their excellent performance.

The atmosphere in coastal areas generally has a “three high” corrosion environment of high humidity, high salt, and high temperature. Such environmental and medium conditions accelerate the corrosion rate of steel. Relevant data show that the corrosion rate of carbon steel in coastal areas is more than 3 times that of inland areas.

In order to solve this problem, Himei waterproof tiles have added anti-corrosion layers on both sides of the product, making the product extremely corrosion-resistant, able to resist salt spray erosion, and extend the service life of the roof.

The coastal areas have heavy rainfall and frequent storms, which puts high demands on the waterproof performance of the roof.

Himei waterproof tiles are constructed and overlapped by long-side welding. There are no leaks on the entire roof. In heavy rain and hail weather, they can prevent rainwater from leaking and protect the building structure from erosion. Even in the case of heavy rain, the water can be stored without backflow, and there is no need to worry about rainwater erosion.

The coastal areas have strong sunshine and high ultraviolet radiation intensity. Long-term exposure of the roof to ultraviolet rays will accelerate the aging, fading and embrittlement of the material, reducing its waterproofness and structural strength. Therefore, UV-resistant roofing materials are particularly important in coastal areas. They can effectively extend the service life of the roof, maintain its long-term protective function, and ensure the durability of the building.

The TPO on the surface of Himei waterproof tiles is a thermoplastic polyolefin with a highly stable molecular chain structure. It is not easily affected by the external environment such as ultraviolet rays, oxygen and moisture and chemically degraded, which can prevent it from brittle, cracking or discoloration after long-term exposure to harsh environments. These characteristics enable Himei waterproof tiles to maintain excellent performance and a long service life under various climatic conditions.

Typhoons and strong winds are common phenomena in coastal areas. Ordinary roofing materials are easily lifted or damaged in the face of strong winds, posing safety hazards to buildings. Himei waterproof tiles have excellent wind resistance through special installation system and design. They are stable and reliable even in extreme weather conditions, protecting the roof from damage.

The weather environment in coastal areas changes quickly, sometimes sunny, sometimes heavy rain. In heavy rain, when raindrops directly hit the metal surface, a strong resonance effect will be generated, causing the metal roof to vibrate rapidly and transmit sound waves, thus producing obvious loud sound. The TPO material on the surface of Himei waterproof tiles is a rubber-plastic material with good sound absorption properties. It can absorb the sound waves generated by the falling rain and relieve the impact force, thereby reducing the noise generated by the impact of raindrops.

The TPO thickness on the surface of Himei waterproof tiles is relatively high (up to 1.8mm), and TPO with a higher roughness can also be customized to make its frosted surface absorb and scatter more sound propagation, achieving the effect of physically breaking up the impact of raindrops.

In addition, Himei waterproof tiles can also add a sound-absorbing layer on the back of the product, which further enhances its sound insulation effect and makes its application range more extensive.

Even in heavy rain, it can well block noise and provide a comfortable indoor environment.

Coastal areas have strong sunshine and large temperature fluctuations, and the roof easily absorbs a lot of heat. If the roof does not have good thermal insulation, the indoor temperature will rise significantly, resulting in a stuffy and uncomfortable living environment. In addition, thermal insulation can reduce dependence on refrigeration equipment such as air conditioners, reduce energy consumption and usage costs, improve living comfort, and be more environmentally friendly in the long run.

The TPO waterproof layer on the surface of Himei waterproof tiles has a high whiteness and reflectivity, which means

that they can reflect most of the heat from solar radiation without absorbing it. This helps to reduce the temperature of the roof surface, reduce the heat absorption of the building, reduce the energy consumption of the plant, insulate and cool down, and improve the working environment.

In the face of the special climate and environmental challenges in coastal areas, it is crucial to choose the right roofing material. Himei waterproof tiles have become an ideal choice for building roofs in coastal areas due to their corrosion resistance, strong waterproof performance, excellent wind resistance, durability, UV resistance, sound insulation and heat insulation.

Whether it is a commercial building or an industrial plant, Himei waterproof tiles can provide the most solid protection for it. Interested customers are welcome to call us.
