The bitumen tile went through several stages of development and changes in the history of building roofing materials and gradually became one of the most popular roof options. Looking back at the history of its development, we can say that it is full of innovation and breakthroughs.
The development of bitumen tiles mainly passed the following stages:
①. The production and early stage of the study (the end of the 19th century - the beginning of the 20th century):
2. 1893:The first asphalt roll was invented in Ohio, the USA, for light steel roofs, which can be considered the predecessor of bitumen tiles. At that time, light steel houses were light in weight, quickly built, were energy -saving and suitable for secondary processing of materials, but the load on the roof could not be too high. The appearance of asphalt roll provided a waterproof solution for such roofs.
2.1897:People added colored particles of sand to the surface of the roll to make the material more durable. This was an important achievement in the development of asphalt tiles, and the earliest asphalt tiles were formed. However, at that time the asphalt roll did not have a frame, and its service life was often short.
3.1901:The rolons of asphalt began to cut on the sheets and lay them to create roofing effects. This change in the form brought him closer to modern tiles, but its operational characteristics and service life still needed to improve.
②. Technical improvement and the initial stage of development (mid -20th century - the end of the 20th century):
1.1960:Fiberglass tires were used as the base of the tires, which became an important rotary moment in the development of bitumen tiles. The use of fiberglass tires significantly improved the flexibility, wind resistance and durability of bitumen tiles. In the true sense, bitumen tiles began to acquire a form and gradually became the main roofing in North America. In the United States and Canada, more than 90% of residential buildings began to use bituminous tiles.
③. The stage of global promotion (end of the 20th century - the beginning of the 21st century):
1. Mid-1980s:Tianjin and Wuan, China, introduced multifunctional lines for the production of modified bitumen roller material and had the opportunity to produce bitumen tiles, but the market was not effectively expanded at that time.
2. In the late 1990s, the project “From flat to inclined” was launched in Shanghai, Dalyans and other places of China. Almost all flat roofs along the streets were replaced by inclined, and the city looked completely new. The bitumen tile has become the main material for the inclined roof due to its small weight, rich colors and simple design.
3. The beginning of the 21st century:With the rapid development of the Chinese economy and the continuous progress of the construction industry, bitumen tiles are used in China wider. It is used not only in urban projects "from the plane to the slope", but also in elite cottage villages, schools, tourist attractions, cultural tourism and projects for the care of elderly people and other buildings.
④. The stage of maturity of technology and market competition (from the beginning of the 21st century to the present):
Around 2006: the domestic technology for the production of bitumen tiles in China was gradually improved, production processes continued to improve, and some companies also developed new technologies, such as two -lane technology, to increase the wind resistance of bitumen tiles.
After 2008:Various domestic manufacturers of bitumen tiles appeared, and competition in the market has become more and more tough.
In general, bitumen tiles evolved from the original simple asphalt rolls, and thanks to technical improvements and promotion in the market, it gradually became widely used by roofing material. In the future, with the constant development of technology and a change in market demand, the operational characteristics and the quality of the bitumen tiles will continue to improve.
