Features:
-
Traditional Qingwa (青瓦) Clay Composition: Made from high-iron natural clay with no artificial pigments – the grey tone is inherent to the material and deepens with age, developing a rich patina that enhances the building's heritage character.
-
Complete Four-Component System: Includes flat field tiles (banwa), semi-cylindrical pan tiles (tongwa), eaves cover tiles with decorative ends, and drip tiles – providing all components for a traditional Chinese roof installation.
-
Dense Kiln-Fired Body: Fired at temperatures exceeding 1100°C to achieve low porosity – resists moisture absorption, freeze-thaw damage, and biological growth, ensuring centuries of reliable performance.
-
Interlocking Watertight Design: Curved profiles and overlapping edges create a secure, wind-resistant roof covering – suitable for roof slopes from 15 to 90 degrees, ideal for both steep temple roofs and gentle garden pavilions.
-
Eco-Friendly Natural Material: Made from abundant natural clay with traditional low-energy production methods – fully recyclable and free from synthetic coatings, supporting sustainable heritage restoration practices.
