How to Identify Quality/Original Stone Coated Roofing Tiles




The following steps will help to Identify Quality, Stone Coated Roofing Tiles.


1.      Check the back of the roof tile, confirm whether

  • The Manufacturer's name,
  • Distributor's name and
  • ISO Number

is fully inscribed at the back of the stone coated roofing tiles. If you can't find this information, it is an indication that the stone coated roofing tile is "inferior" and it will surely fade off in short period of time.

2.   Ask the distributor or supplier to provide the manufacturer's full contact.
Failure of your distributor or supplier provides the manufacturer's contact, is an indication that they are supplying you with "inferior" stone coated roofing tiles.

3.  The thickness of the stone coated roofing tiles must be 0.55mm in gauge

4.   The price range is an average of;
  • #3,200(New Zealand and Belgium),
  • #2,600 to #2,900(South Korea) per sqm
And for the design that comes with two color combination,
  • i.e. Shingle is #2900 per sqm.

       N.B:- Any price far below this range is a "fake/inferior" stone coated roofing tile.

5.   The manufacturer's warranty must be 50yearrs, no less.

6.   Ask the distributor to provide the certificate of Origin from the manufacturer, if they can't provide that, it means they deal with "fake/inferior" stone coated roofing tile.

7.   Two pieces of the stone coated roofing tile make a sqm.

The points highlighted above are the things to watch out for before purchasing any stone coated roofing tiles for your project.

Setting out of a building

A building is set out in order to accurately define the outline and width of the excavation and to determine the center line of the proposed building walls, so that construction according to the building professionals drawing (the architectural plan) plan can be transfer into the ground, this building process is called setting out of building. The center line method of setting out is generally preferred and adopted Setting out can be a very complex engineering process but with need experience its quite easy. Experienced engineer and surveyors are those involved in setting out of structures, in large projects, services of land surveyors are required for more accurate transfer of levels and angles in setting out with the aid of a Theodolite to decided point around the building area But we are going to concern ourselves with the most common setting out method ·          Setting out using pegging ·      ...

Construction Procedure of Surface Road Side Drainage-PART 1 (with picture)

Surface water ( i.e., rain water) that falls on the ground surface such as; open field, paved areas or road surface, roof tops etc are channeled to a main drain naturally or through a constructed channel which is referred to as drainage. Procedure for construction of a common drainage (trench) (1m x 1m U drainage) (reinforced). includes; I.       Marking Of Alignment: The surveyor marked out the alignment for the trench to be dug. II.       Digging/Excavation: The surveyor marked out the dept of the trench to be excavated with a mechanical excavating machine. For a 1m x 1m drainage, the mathematical process of obtaining the required dept is to sum together the dept of the required drain + base + blinding. For dept:  A drain of dept1000 mm, base of 150 mm and blinding of 50 mm. Hence 1000mm + 150mm + 50mm = 1200mm (1.2 m) So an excavation of 1200mm (1.2m) is required...

Ring / Pipe Culverts Construction procedure

Culvert is an open/close drain structure that allows water to flow below a road. It’s like a tunnel carrying a stream of water flow. A Ring/Pipe Culvert Procedure for construction of a common Ring/Pipe Culvert (road junction culvert) includes; I.       Marking Of Alignment: - The surveyor marked out the alignment for the trench to be dug. II.       Digging/Excavation: The surveyor marked out the dept of the culvert to be excavated with an excavating machine. For a 1m pipe culvert, the mathematical process of obtaining the required dept is to sum together the total width of the pipe + base + blinding. For dept:  A pipe of width 1000 mm, base of 150 mm and blinding of 50 mm (though optional). . Hence 1000mm + 150mm + 50mm = 1200mm (1.2 m) So an excavation of 1200mm (1.2m) is required from the to level of the natural ground (sub grade level) surface. For wid...
