The influence of the length of synthetic resin tiles on thermal expansion and contraction

Synthetic resin shingles have gained wide popularity in modern architecture due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. However, when choosing and using synthetic resin tiles, their length is an important factor that cannot be ignored. Especially in areas with significant temperature differences between day and night, the thermal expansion and contraction phenomenon of synthetic resin shingles becomes particularly noticeable.

Thermal expansion and contraction refer to the expansion and contraction of materials when the temperature changes. The longer the synthetic resin shingles are, the greater the coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction will be. This means that in environments with large temperature differences, long resin shingles are more likely to deform or crack due to temperature changes, and even high-quality products cannot avoid this situation. Therefore, in areas with large temperature differences, it is not recommended to use resin shingles longer than six meters per piece.

To avoid deformation and cracking of synthetic resin shingles caused by thermal expansion and contraction, a segmented construction method is recommended. If the slope is relatively flat, the synthetic resin shingles can be divided into two pieces for construction. This not only maintains the beauty and integrity of the roof but also effectively reduces the structural problems that may occur when using long boards.
