What’s Changing in the Southeast Asian Construction Market?
In recent years, rapid urbanization across Southeast Asian countries has driven a surge in demand for construction materials. From Vietnam to Thailand, and from the Philippines to Malaysia, developers and contractors are actively seeking reliable, cost-effective roofing solutions. Resin roof tiles are increasingly emerging as the material of choice—thanks to their durability, corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and ease of installation.
However, for many buyers—especially international ones—importing roofing materials still comes with its share of challenges. Communication delays, inconsistent product quality, customs clearance issues, and unclear lead times often result in higher costs and operational uncertainty.
At Duolong, we understand these concerns deeply. With over a decade of export experience in the roofing industry, we’ve developed a refined, transparent export process that ensures smooth transactions from factory to jobsite. In this article, we’ll walk you through our full resin tile export flow, helping you gain clarity and confidence in sourcing from us.
Why Resin Roof Tiles Are Gaining Popularity in Southeast Asia and the Middle East
In tropical or desert climates, traditional roofing materials like ceramic tiles, metal sheets, or asbestos often fall short. Ceramic tiles are fragile and absorb water; metal roofing overheats and corrodes; and asbestos is increasingly banned due to environmental concerns.
Resin tiles offer clear advantages in these regions. Made from high-strength synthetic materials, they resist UV rays, acid rain, and extreme temperatures. They’re also lightweight, reducing structural load and transportation costs. Moreover, resin tiles come in a variety of styles and colors, suitable for homes, factories, commercial markets, farms, and even resort buildings.
Across our client base, we’ve observed that developers and homeowners now prioritize three main qualities in roofing: lightweight durability, long-term maintenance savings, and affordability. Resin roof tiles hit all three targets.

Our Standard Export Workflow: A Step-by-Step Breakdown
To streamline your buying experience, we’ve developed a standardized five-step international trade flow that covers everything from selection to delivery.
Step 1: Requirement Consultation and Product Selection You share your roofing project details, including area size and environment. We assist in selecting the right model, thickness, and color, and provide free samples upon request.
Step 2: Contract Signing and Order Confirmation We issue a formal proforma invoice and walk you through necessary import documentation such as packing lists, certificates of origin, and commercial invoices.
Step 3: Production and Real-Time Updates Once the order is confirmed, production begins. Every 3–5 days, we send updates with photos and reports so you stay fully informed.
Step 4: Export Declaration and Shipping Coordination We arrange customs clearance, book containers, and provide shipping documents. Delivery routes to major ports like Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh, Manila, and Dubai are well established.
Step 5: After-Sales Support and Installation Guidance We provide installation manuals, video tutorials, and, in some markets, referrals to local contractors for on-site support.
This system is designed to serve large importers and first-time buyers alike, ensuring a hassle-free procurement experience.
