In the rapidly developing construction industry in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, a transformation of roofing materials is accelerating. From the building materials wholesale market in Bangkok to the projects under construction in high-end residential areas in Dubai, a large number of developers, building materials traders and construction companies are gradually eliminating old traditional roofing materials such as clay tiles, color steel tiles, cement tiles, etc., and collectively turning to more stable and cost-friendly synthetic resin tiles, especially ASA super weather-resistant resin tiles.
This trend not only appears in government projects and commercial buildings, but also spreads to residential renovations and small and medium-sized construction projects. A large number of building materials importers in Southeast Asia have reported that traditional tiles generally have problems such as fading, cracking, and leaking in tropical high temperatures, typhoons and rainy weather or high-salt environments at the seaside. Resin tiles are becoming the most promising alternative on the market with their excellent weather resistance, lightweight and high-strength structure, and anti-corrosion and waterproof performance advantages.
As a resin tile manufacturer focusing on exporting to the international market, Duolong has reached stable cooperation with building materials wholesale groups, building materials retail chains, and project contractors in many Southeast Asian countries, and its export volume has been increasing year by year. What makes more and more customers abandon traditional tiles and switch to the ASA synthetic resin tiles we provide? This article will deeply analyze the five disruptive advantages to help you re-understand the value of modern roofing solutions in construction efficiency, product performance, economic cost and market trends.
Longer life than traditional tiles: ASA resin tiles have weather resistance that breaks industry standards
In Southeast Asia and the Middle East, one of the biggest challenges facing roofing materials is the long-term erosion of extreme climate environments. Strong ultraviolet radiation, high humidity, acid rain corrosion, and temperature differences between day and night are all accelerating the aging and damage of traditional clay tiles, cement tiles, and even metal tiles. These materials are prone to fading, cracking, and powdering, especially in tropical and coastal areas. Their service life is often difficult to exceed 10 years, and maintenance is frequent and costly.
In contrast, the ASA super-weather-resistant resin tiles provided by Duolong have achieved a leapfrog upgrade in terms of material nature. Its surface layer uses imported engineering resin (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate), which has extremely high UV resistance and thermal stability, can effectively resist UV-A, UV-B radiation and high-temperature oxidation reactions, and is not easy to fade even under continuous exposure near the equator. According to SGS laboratory test data, the color difference value ΔE of ASA resin tiles has long been maintained within the industry standard, and the conventional service life is more than 25 years, far exceeding traditional roofing materials.
In addition, its lightweight integrated structure can effectively reduce the burden on the roof structure, and it is easier to cope with the load-bearing changes caused by building aging without sacrificing strength. This feature is particularly highly recognized by high-rise developers in the Middle East and buyers of residential renovation projects in coastal cities in Southeast Asia.
As an export manufacturer in the field of ASA resin tiles, Duolong always insists on using high-grade resin raw materials and ensures the density and color stability of each tile through continuous co-extrusion process. Whether it is a holiday villa project in Dubai or a rural poverty alleviation housing project in Vietnam, our products have actually verified their durability and reliability.
Not afraid of sea breeze and rainy season: ASA resin tiles perform stably in highly corrosive environments
Construction projects in the Middle East often face high salinity, high evaporation and highly corrosive climates, especially in sandy areas, ports, industrial parks and other areas. Roofing materials are easily corroded by salt and acidic particles in the air. In Southeast Asia, the average humidity throughout the year exceeds 80%, the rainy season is frequent, and typhoons are concentrated. Traditional cement tiles are prone to cracking and water seepage, while metal tiles rust and fall off due to high humidity and acid rain. The maintenance cost is high and the life is short, which seriously affects the safety and beauty of building use.
The ASA synthetic resin tiles provided by Duolong have the dual advantages of excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance. Its core structure uses waterproof closed-cell materials, which do not absorb water, do not penetrate, and have natural water resistance. The surface ASA engineering resin has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, which can resist the erosion of salt spray, chlorides and acid rain carried in the sea breeze for a long time, and will not cause blistering, rusting, corrosion and perforation common in metal roofs.
According to feedback from our customers in Bali, Indonesia and Fujairah, UAE, ASA tiles can maintain roof integrity and color saturation even after more than 8 years of continuous use in coastal areas, with almost no additional maintenance required. This stable performance not only improves the roof safety level, but also saves developers long-term operation and repair costs.
In addition, the low thermal conductivity and high acid and alkali resistance of ASA resin tiles also make it an ideal choice for complex environments such as rainforest high humidity areas, tropical heavily polluted industrial areas, and agricultural greenhouses. We can provide standard specifications and customized sizes according to different project requirements to ensure that customers in every complex climate area can have a reliable protection solution.
Customizable Resin Roof Tiles: From Color Matching to OEM Branding for Professional Projects
In modern construction projects, the roof is not only part of the structure, but also an important presentation element of the overall style. However, traditional clay tiles and color steel tiles have obvious shortcomings in color selection and specification uniformity. The color selection is limited, the surface color difference is large, and the batch is unstable. They cannot meet the demand for “unified appearance” of modern architectural aesthetics, and it is difficult to adapt to the trend of branding and customized procurement.
Duolong’s ASA synthetic resin tiles provide more professional solutions in terms of product diversity. We have a variety of wave types (such as antique corrugated type, trapezoidal type, Roman type, etc.), multi-specification thickness (standard is 2.0mm-3.5mm), and arbitrary length cut-to-length services to meet customers’ specific requirements for different building structures and different compression levels.
In terms of color, we support more than ten kinds of high-saturation and high-weather-resistant colors such as red, blue, gray, brown, and dark green. All color layers are co-extruded, not easy to fade or peel, and the visual uniformity far exceeds the traditional tiles treated by spraying. For project parties that need to output a unified architectural style, such as villa development projects in the Middle East, building materials chain supermarkets in Southeast Asia, and hotel groups, we can also provide OEM production services to help customers establish a unified brand image.
Real customer cases show that the “dark gray + flat wave” resin tiles customized by us in cooperation with a chain building materials group in Malaysia completed the design, proofing, production and distribution layout within 3 months, which greatly accelerated the launch of new products and improved the satisfaction of channel terminals.
Duolong has mature system support for product customization services, including 3D rendering simulation, color card selection, packaging design and other supporting services. We are well aware that construction customers are not only purchasing roofing materials, but also creating project styles and brand images, and our resin tiles are the reliable carriers of this mission.
Bulk Supply and Stable Delivery: A Reliable Roofing Partner for Ongoing Construction Projects
For large-scale construction projects, government projects and multinational chain building materials groups, whether they can obtain a stable and high-quality supply of roofing materials in the long term is the key to whether the project can be carried out as scheduled. Due to production line restrictions, traditional tile factories often face problems such as out-of-stock, unstable delivery, and slow customization response, making it difficult to support the needs of continuous procurement and multiple projects in parallel.
Duolong, as a Chinese manufacturer specializing in the production of ASA synthetic resin tiles, has its own 10,000-ton intelligent production line, and its annual export volume covers more than 30 countries and regions in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. We can not only achieve a daily average of tens of thousands of square meters of conventional spot supply, but also have the ability to quickly respond to personalized customization, truly realizing the organic combination of large-scale supply and flexible manufacturing.
Our factory adopts a continuous co-extrusion automated production process, and order production and inventory allocation are operated independently in different zones to ensure that whether it is exporting dozens of containers at a time or supplying in batches in stages, strict delivery control and quality consistency can be achieved. This system is particularly suitable for building materials chain brands, regional dealer groups, contracted project material carriers, and development companies that have signed long-term supply agreements with government units.
Taking a building materials retail chain customer in Hanoi, Vietnam as an example, Duolong has provided it with stable supply for three consecutive years since 2022, with an average monthly shipment of 15 HQ containers and a repurchase rate of over 90%. With our assistance, the customer established its own brand resin tile system, which not only enhanced its market competitiveness, but also achieved dual optimization of inventory turnover and supply guarantee.
We promise: Regardless of the size of the project, Duolong can provide customers with full-process services including factory direct supply, logistics coordination, production scheduling priority and after-sales assistance, so that every B-end customer can truly feel at ease to implement their own projects and business plans.
