Introduction: How ResinTiles Help Large-Scale Projects Save Costs?
In Southeast Asia and the Middle East, construction contractors and developers face challenges such as high temperatures, humidity, typhoons, and corrosive environments. Choosing
“Duolong” resintiles offerhigh cost-effectiveness, strong weather resistance, and easy installation, making themgovernment projects, commercial parks, and large factories.
So, how can “Duolong” resin tiles help reduce the roofing costs for large-scale projects? This article will provide a detailed analysis from the perspectives of materials, construction, and maintenance.

Lightweight and High Strength – Reducing Structural Costs
Lighter Weight Compared to Traditional Tiles
In large-scale construction projects, roof load-bearing capacity is a critical factor that directly impacts the design and material requirements of the building structure. Traditional roofing materials such as ceramic tiles and metal sheets are significantly heavier, requiring a more robust roof support system. This increases the amount of steel, wood, and other structural reinforcements needed, ultimately raising construction costs.
By contrast, “Duolong” resin tiles offer a lightweight yet durable alternative, significantly reducing the load on the roof structure. This allows for lower material consumption, making the overall construction more cost-effective.
Comparison of Roofing Tile Weights
Roofing Material | Average Weight (kg/㎡) | Impact on Roof Structure |
Traditional Ceramic Tiles | ≥20kg/㎡ | Requires heavy-duty roof support |
Metal Roofing Sheets | ≥15kg/㎡ | Moderate load, prone to rust |
“Duolong” Resin Tiles | ≈6kg/㎡ | Lightweight, reduces steel usage |
Why is a lighter weight beneficial?
Reduces structural steel consumption – Less weight means fewer reinforcements needed for the roof structure, lowering material costs.
Easier handling and installation – Lighter materials allow for faster and safer transportation and installation, reducing labor intensity.
Ideal for large-span buildings – Particularly suitable for factories, warehouses, exhibition centers, and sports arenas, where roof loads must be minimized to ensure stability and durability.
Enhanced earthquake resistance – In seismic zones, reducing the overall roof weight lowers the risk of structural collapse during earthquakes.
High Impact Resistance – Minimizing Repair and Replacement Costs
Roofing materials must not only withstand their own weight but also endure external impacts from harsh weather conditions such as typhoons, hailstorms, and corrosion from industrial environments. In regions like Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where extreme climate conditions are common, traditional roofing materials often suffer from frequent damage, leading to expensive repairs and replacements.
“Duolong” resin tiles utilize ASA+PVC co-extrusion technology, ensuring superior impact resistance, durability, and long-term performance under extreme weather conditions.
Superior Protection Against External Damage
Typhoon-Resistant: In typhoon-prone areas like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand, traditional tiles can be easily lifted or shattered by strong winds. “Duolong” resin tiles offer exceptional wind resistance, withstanding wind speeds of up to 120 km/h, ensuring roofs remain intact even in severe storms.
Hail-Proof Performance: In high-altitude or cold-climate regions, hailstones pose a major threat to roof integrity. “Duolong” resintiles can withstand the impact of a 1kg steel ball dropped from a height of 1.5 meters without cracking, preventing costly repairs caused by hail damage.
Corrosion-Resistant: In coastal and industrial zones, airborne salt, acid, and chemical fumes can rapidly corrode metal roofing, reducing its lifespan. “Duolong” resintiles are highly resistant to acid, alkali, and salt corrosion, making them ideal for chemical plants, warehouses, and coastal buildings.
Cost-Saving Benefits of High Impact Resistance:
Fewer replacements – Stronger durability reduces the frequency of tile breakage and the need for costly repairs.
Enhanced building safety – Prevents tiles from breaking and falling off, which could pose risks to workers, equipment, and property.
Long-term maintenance savings – Resistant to corrosion and weathering, making them an ideal choice for factories, industrial facilities, and agricultural structures that require minimal upkeep.

Fast Installation – Saving Labor and Construction Time
In large-scale construction projects, installation speed directly impacts project timelines and overall investment costs. Traditional roofing materials, such as ceramic tiles and metal sheets, require extensive labor, complex fixation methods, and more installation time, which increases labor expenses and prolongs the construction period. Delays in roof installation can lead to higher project costs, especially in commercial, industrial, and government projects with strict deadlines.
“Duolong” resintiles are specifically engineered for quick and efficient installation, significantly reducing labor costs and construction time. Their lightweight nature and large panel design make them an ideal choice for large-area roofing projects, ensuring faster completion and improved cost efficiency.
Large Panel Design for Faster Installation
Traditional tiles, such as ceramic or metal sheets, are typically small in size, requiring workers to place and secure each tile individually. This not only slows down the installation process but also increases the risk of alignment errors and additional labor costs. “Duolong” resin tiles, on the other hand, feature a large-panel design, allowing for rapid coverage and seamless installation.
Key Installation Advantages of “Duolong” Resin Tiles
Wider Panels – With a width of up to 1050mm, installation is 3 times faster than traditional roofing materials. Fewer Fixation Points Required – Large surface coverage per tile reduces the number of tiles needed and minimizes fixation points. Simple Installation Process – Requires only wooden battens or steel frames for fixation, eliminating the need for complicated structures. Reduced Labor Intensity – Lightweight and easy to handle, minimizing physical strain on workers and making the installation process safer. Lower Risk of Errors – Large panels ensure better alignment, reducing the chance of gaps or misplacement that could lead to leaks.
Best suited for:
Emergency housing and government infrastructure projects – that require quick assembly and immediate occupancy.
Time Is Money: Shorter Construction Periods, Lower Total Investment
For commercial projects, industrial parks, and government buildings with tight construction schedules, reducing installation time translates into lower total investment costs.
Lightweight structure + efficient interlocking design = reduced labor costs.
Lower rental expenses for equipment, such as cranes and scaffolding.
Maintenance-Free – Lower Long-Term Operational Costs
One of the biggest hidden costs in roofing is ongoing maintenance and repairs. Traditional roofing materials, such as ceramic tiles and metal sheets, require regular upkeep due to weather-related damage, corrosion, and fading. This leads to increased long-term costs for property owners and facility managers.
In contrast, “Duolong” resintiles are designed to be maintenance-free, eliminating the need for frequent repairs and cleaning, thus reducing long-term operational expenses.
Self-Cleaning Properties – Reduced Cleaning Costs
The smooth surface design of “Duolong” resin tiles enables rainwater to wash away dirt naturally, eliminating the need for manual cleaning.
Reduced maintenance and cleaning expenses, particularly for large factories and warehouses.
Minimized dirt accumulation, keeping the roof aesthetically pleasing and enhancing the overall image of the building.
