In life, we can see various styles of buildings, among which there are many buildings in the style of ancient buildings. Generally, these buildings have a feature that green tiles are used as the roof of buildings. Why use green tiles as the roof of ancient buildings? Let's introduce this issue to you.
The roofs of ancient houses were built with tiles, but their shapes have their own characteristics. Ancient building tiles will design all kinds of tiles according to the needs of the roof, even tiles with special functions. For example, eaves tiles are used to drain rainwater. When it comes to this, maybe many people are just technical limitations. In fact, it's not. It's also exquisite to use tiles as roofs.
Tile culture in ancient architecture -- green tiles. Green tiles are fired from clay, which is the product of long-term weathering of some aluminosilicate minerals. Don't underestimate it. It is named for its strong viscosity. Green tiles can be made into composite tile roof. Green tiles are mainly used to prevent rainwater from leaking into the house. In addition, they are heat insulation to prevent solar radiation heat from being directly transmitted to the house during the day. When the tiles are overlapped on the pitched roof, an air spacing for thermal insulation can be generated. Through the evolution of form, size and technology, green tiles have inherited 3000 years of architectural history. With its advantages of beauty, simplicity, rain proof and thermal insulation, they have finally become one of the essential main materials of Chinese traditional architecture.
