Customized Container House Roof Tiles

Admin September 15, 2026

When customizing roof tiles for container houses, you can refer to the following types and key points:

I. Common Types of Roof Tiles

  1. Metal Roof Tiles

    • Aluminum-Zinc Asphalt Stone-Coated Tiles: Rich in colors, durable, and fire-resistant. Suitable for hotels, warehouses, etc. Price range: ¥8.05-16.10 per 300 pieces (minimum order).
    • Stone-Coated Metal Corrugated Tiles: Modern antique design, heat-insulating and thickened. Suitable for villa roofs. Price: ¥6.04-6.71 per 200 pieces (minimum order).
    • Standing Seam Steel Solar Tiles: Integrated with BIPV photovoltaic function, waterproof, and easy to install. Price: ¥230.59 per piece (minimum order).
  2. Plastic/Resin Roof Tiles

    • ASA-Coated UPVC Synthetic Resin Tiles: Traditional corrugated design, corrosion-resistant, and waterproof. Suitable for hotels and apartments. Price: ¥10.07 per 100 square meters (minimum order).
    • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Roof Panels: Trapezoidal corrugated structure, highly heat-resistant. Price: ¥10.07-30.19 per 100 square meters (minimum order).
  3. Composite Material Roof Tiles

    • Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Trapezoidal Corrugated Panels: Industrial design style, heat-resistant, and suitable for apartments and hotels. Price: ¥13.42-40.25 per 100 square meters (minimum order).
    • Double-Layer Twinwall UPVC Hollow Panels: Factory roof coverings with excellent heat insulation. Price: ¥23.14-43.60 per 500 square meters (minimum order).

II. Key Considerations for Customizing Container House Roof Tiles

  1. Material Selection

    • Weather Resistance: Prioritize materials such as ASA coating and aluminum-zinc alloy that can withstand UV rays, corrosion, and extreme weather conditions.
    • Thermal Insulation: For residential scenarios, pay attention to the thermal conductivity coefficient of the tiles (e.g., PVC tiles have low thermal conductivity and excellent heat insulation).
    • Fire Rating: Commercial or public buildings need to comply with fire safety standards (e.g., metal tiles have better fire resistance than plastic tiles).
  2. Structural Design

    • Drainage System: Container house roofs are mostly flat or sloped. Design a self-draining slope (usually ≥2%) to avoid water accumulation.
    • Load-Bearing Capacity: Choose an appropriate tile thickness based on regional climate conditions such as snow load and wind load (e.g., metal tiles are recommended to be ≥0.5mm thick).
    • Installation Method: Modular tiles (e.g., UPVC panels) can be quickly assembled, reducing construction costs; traditional tiles require keel support for installation.
  3. Cost and Minimum Order Quantity

    • Budget Control: Plastic tiles are relatively inexpensive (¥10-40 per square meter), metal tiles are moderately priced (¥6-30 per piece), and composite material tiles are more expensive (¥20-120 per square meter).
    • Bulk Purchasing: Suppliers usually set a minimum order quantity (e.g., 100 square meters or 300 pieces). Coordinate according to the project scale.

III. Supplier Recommendations

  • Domestic Manufacturers: Guangdong Gongli New Materials (UPVC tiles), Shandong Shengming Metal (stone-coated metal tiles), Jiangsu Science and Technology New Materials (ASA resin tiles).
  • International Procurement: Alibaba supports cross-border direct supply. Confirm logistics, tariffs, and after-sales terms.

IV. Precautions

  • Before customization, provide the container house roof dimensions, slope, and usage scenario (e.g., residential or storage) so that the supplier can recommend matching tile types.
  • Prioritize manufacturers that have passed ISO and CE certifications to ensure material environmental friendliness (e.g., lead-free, formaldehyde-free) and durability (warranty period is usually 5-10 years).
