| Method of Fixing | Needs more sloping to drain rain water. Surface temperature reaches to 65 to 70 deg C. Hence need more weathering course materials. |
Needs less sloping due to smooth surface. Surface temperature reaches to 40 to 45 deg C. Hence less material to maintain slope. Tile can be fixed on ¾ to 1” lime mortar. Lime act as a binder and good heat insulator. Tiles shall be fixed in near - dry conditions. Excess water below the tiles, if any, could evaporate through downward movements. |
|
| Cleaning with acid | Not possible | At any point of time, a simple acid wash is sufficient to make like a new terrace. Abc grout and tiles are acid resistant. | |
| During Service Life | Fungus formation, plant and vegetation growths commonly seen Unburnt tiles gets eroded and water easily enters Reduces roof span life |
No fungus No erosion is possible on glaze Increases roof span life | |
| Tile Warranty | Not confirmed | Building life time. | |
| Delivery up to (10 lac sq ft) | Not possible to supply in one brand. | Delivery of same batch in 60 days easily possible. | |
| Green Building concept | Not possible | Possible | |
| History Max temperature during 1951 |
As old as 100 years. 31 deg C | Cool Roof concept is very recent Now a days : 41 deg C |
|
| Remark | In the present scenario of climatic conditions, Cool Roof becomes a necessity. | ||
| Cost Analysis | Generally a Cool Roof cost 10 to 15 % more. Materials used for gradient & weathering course can be greatly reduced. Increase in 15% can be compensated. | ||
| Tiles Cost per sq ft | Rs 35/ | Rs 41/ | |
|
Considering warranty, service life and Green Building material concept of abc Cool Roof Tiles, cost increase is negligible. |

Abc tile fixing system is designed with water proofing at various stages and lime mortar is suggested to get more R value. Terrace will be very safe with respect to any kind of weather because ceramic tiles are processed at 1200 deg C against white cement tiles which are not processed at high temperature.
White cement tiles appears to be strong but weaker than ceramic tiles.
