Singapore's architectural environment demands materials that can withstand relentless rain and high humidity. Conventional concrete tiles often suffer from algae growth and water absorption, leading to increased structural load and leakage, which has driven the demand for aluminium roofing tiles.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Singapore makes heat reflection a priority. The adoption of shingle granules with high solar reflectance index (SRI) has become essential for reducing indoor temperatures and lowering air conditioning energy consumption in residential landed properties.
Furthermore, strict building codes regarding weight and safety have pushed the industry toward lightweight yet durable alternatives. The use of metal shingles with granules allows for a traditional aesthetic without the cumbersome weight of traditional mineral-based cement products.
