Argil Cool Roof
tiles are made up of white ceramic base material, and three layers of 9%
zirconium and the engobe coat that contains 2 % Titanium warrant long life.
These are tested in the company’s laboratory that
is ISO 9001-2000 certified.
The laying process
of these tiles does not require that much effort as
terracotta
tiles. You don’t need to follow all those time consuming procedures
of terracotta,
but to simply lay the tiles on the RCC with a slight sloping provided for the
water drain.

A slant of three
inches to two inches can be set using light weight material, like brick jelly
or baby jelly with cement mortar in the ratio of 1:3 or vermiculate mix, for cushioning against
contraction of the slab.
Finally, the cool roof tiles are fixed and the tile
joints are pointed with quality white cement. Thus the dampness on the roof is
checked and heat reflected. And the cool roof process
does not require longer timeline or higher cost on labour or material or even
any special skill to lay the tiles.
Additionally,
the roof becomes 100% waterproof and reflects 85% of the heat
compared to conventional roof that is not waterproof and is only 15 % heat reflecting. Apart from being a fire resistant
material, the tiles
also increase the indoor comfort during summer.
