Introduction to the Characteristics and Common Sense of Roof Slate Tiles

The material of slate tiles is not slate but natural clay rock. It is also called slate. Slate is a natural stone such as marble, granite, sandstone, etc. It is characterized by its natural cracking properties and can be done manually or mechanically. It is separated, so the surface of the building board product has not been mechanically polished, and has simple and natural surface characteristics. Some people also like to call slate tiles flat tiles, glazed tiles, rock tiles, and stone tiles. Let’s talk about some characteristics of slate tiles.

Due to different material properties and metamorphic effects, some high-quality materials in slate can be processed into roof tiles. These slabs are also commonly referred to as tiled slates. Boards that cannot be tiled are processed into decorative boards and used as walls. Waban ore bodies are mostly layered or pod-shaped, with a controlled length of 100-200 meters, a thickness of 10-50 meters, and a vertical depth of 50-80 meters. The mineral composition of tile slate is mainly sericite and quartz, followed by argillaceous matter containing a small amount of carbon hydrochloric acid, pyrite, pyrrhotite and other oxides, some containing chlorite, biotite, trace tourmaline, Haoshi and others. According to the analysis of its ore composition, the original rock is carbon-bearing silty mudstone. Therefore, the production of slate tiles will also have high requirements for the qualifications of roof tile manufacturers.

Slate is also a type of architectural slate. Tile slate can be used as veneer slate, but veneer slate cannot be used as veneer slate. what is the reason? First of all, we must know the characteristics of high-quality slate: good splitting performance, good smoothness, small color difference, high blackness, other colors, high bending strength, low calcium iron and sulfur content, low loss ignition, acid and alkali resistance Good, low water absorption, good weather resistance. If the flatness is poor, it cannot meet the requirements of tidy and reasonable roof tile construction; without good material properties, it is impossible to maintain a service life of more than decades or hundreds of years without fading, weathering and rust.

The thickness of the slate tiles has nothing to do with the quality of the product. Ceramic tile, lower slate can also be cut very thin. The thickness of the slate has nothing to do with the quality of the slab. Ceramic tile and inferior slate can also be cut very thin. Good detachability, good flatness, small color difference, high blackness, other colors, high bending strength, low calcium, iron and sulfur content, low ignition loss, good acid and alkali resistance, low water absorption and weather resistance Well, the thickness of the slate has nothing to do with the quality of the slab. Ceramic tile and inferior slate can be cut very thin too.

First of all, we must know the characteristics that high-quality slate must have: good splitting performance, good flatness, small color difference, high blackness (other colors are the same), high bending strength, low calcium, iron and sulfur content, and low ignition loss. Good acid and alkali resistance, low water absorption and good weather resistance. The flatness is poor, and it cannot meet the tidy and proper tile construction requirements; without good material properties, it is impossible to maintain a service life of more than 100 years without fading, weathering, and rust.

The above content specifically introduces the characteristics of slate tiles and some common sense. Everyone has a certain understanding of it. Today I will introduce it to you today. I hope it will be helpful to you.
