 A roof is the covering on the uppermost part of a building. There are two parts to a roof, its supporting structure and its outer skin, or uppermost weatherproof layer.. The supporting structure of a roof usually comprises beams that are long and of strong The material of a roof may range from banana leaves, wheaten straw or seagrass to lamininated glass, copper, aluminium sheeting and precast concrete.

 Raw materials management

extraction of clay from clay mining sites

Preparation of Clay
grinding, mixing, wetting

Shaping
shaping of the roof tile through by extrudersor

 Drying
removing the moisture to improves product quality

Colouring
engobed glazed. natural red

Firing
temperature of 900 to 1200C in a tunnel kiln is the final part of the production process.

 The production of asphalt roofing products consists of six major operations: (1) felt saturation :
The felt is unrolled from the unwind stand onto the drylooper,
asphalt at 205 to 250C (400 to 480F)

(2) Coating : (3) mineral surfacing (top and bottom)

Sprayed Submerged

 (4) cooling and drying

water-cooled rolls finish floating looper

(5) product finishing (seal-down strip application, cutting and trimming, and laminating of laminated shingles), and
cut to product size on the roll winder

(6) packaging
Three common weights of asphalt felt are approximately 12, 15, and 30 lb per 108 ft2
